XOYO presents:

LV & Joshua Idehen play the “Routes” LP

+ Kutmah + DJ Cheeba & friends

Location: Main Floor / Tickets: £10.00 / Entry: 18+ / Doors: 22:00Buy Tickets

Hyperdub badmen LV collaborate with vocalist Joshua Idehen across an album that has to rank as one of the most substantial yet winningly slinky artist albums to come out of the post-dubstep diaspora. Iden’s half-sung, half-spoken lyrical style, in some ways reminiscent of Ghostpoet’s delivery, is probably most mischievous on ‘Northern Line‘, which pays tongue-in-cheek tribute to each stop on the eponymous London tube route ("What do you know about Moorgate? I don’t know anything about Moorgate! What do you know about Old Street? Some of the girls there are quite sweet…") LV’s production, meanwhile, is just class throughout, muscular, agile and restlessly imaginative.

On turntable duties Soundcrash favourite Kutmah will be at hand once again to deliver another lesson in low-end theory as he hits you in the chops with cut after cut of prime bass. Join his growing army of fans.

As always, expect high quality support acts on the night, plus our agent in Bristol Cheeba will be holding the fort with friends in the upstairs bar.

LV ft. Joshua Idehen play live on stage at 11pm sharp.
