We’re incredibly happy to announce that for New Year’s Eve we’ll be welcoming the astounding trio of Chicago footwork originator and pioneer RP Boo alongside ever-radical, longstanding collaborators Seymour Wright and Paul Abbott, following their stunning set at Glasgow’s Counterflows Festival this year.
RP Boo, Seymour and Paul share a fascination with the musical history of Chicago – a source of which is of continual nourishment to their ongoing practice. While RP Boo’s footwork takes from the rhythmic structures of Chicago house and the samples, grooves and melodies of 60’s/70’s Chicago soul, disco and R&B, Seymour and Paul share a fascination with these musics, and bring to this lineage a long term engagement with Chicago’s jazz traditions, from Baby Dodds to the AACM.
Support comes from one of London’s most original and exciting DJs, Cõvco, for what should be one hell of a way to see in 2019.
