In recent months Tiger Beer’s Hidden Depths series has played host to some of the most important UK labels of the day – Hyperdub, Ninja Tune and Hospital Records; paying homage to the producers / artists who have inspired and influenced them as well as giving them an opportunity to showcase their hopes for the future.
Next up in the series is Numbers – a Glaswegian club night and record label formed via an amalgamation of the Stuffrecords, Wireblock and Dress 2 Sweat imprints. Over the last 9 years they have been responsible for some of the biggest seismic shifts in the sound of the UK – not only releasing seminal works by SBTRKT, Jessie Ware, Jamie xx, Mosca, Deadboy and Redinho, but also via close affiliates Hudson Mohawke and Rustie.
The Numbers sound covers a broad spectrum, but at it’s roots is classic hip hop, R&B and disco (evident on recent releases by both Deadboy and Redinho) but possibly even more so, the techno and house sounds of Detroit, New York and of course, Chicago.
In keeping with the ideology behind the Hidden Depths series, they have invited legendary Chicago born producer Lil’ Louis to join Numbers residents Jackmaster, Goodhand and Spencer, with the latter of the three doing an exclusive back to back set with the Big Apple regular, UK Garage legend and one third of Magnetic Man – Artwork.
