Church of Sound is coming south of the river for the first time and hosting a brand new show at the Albany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

or the occasion, we are blessed to be hosting Lewisham\u2019s very own Giles Kwakeulati King-Ashong aka Kwake Bass<\/strong>, who has enlisted some of the borough\u2019s very best musicians to create a live, spontaneous response to Babylon <\/em>(1980).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Truly a jewel in the crown of South London, Babylon<\/em> is a portrait of racial tension and police brutality set in \u201880s Brixton. Focussing on sound system culture and themes of racism, poverty, disillusionment & lack of opportunity, the film is underpinned by a deep soundtrack curated & frequently composed by none other than the legendary Dennis Bovell \u2013 by whose false imprisonment Babylon <\/em>is partly inspired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drummer, producer and all around musical genius, Kwake is the musical director for both Sampha and Kae Tempest\u2019s latest tours and has played with the likes of Lianne La Havas, Mica Levi, Joey Bada$$, MF Doom, Roots Manuva, Shabaka Hutchings and Novelist. As a producer he explores mysteries that lie between the cracks of structured programming with live electronic improvisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The full lineup of musicians will be announced soon, but trust us, you will not be disappointed. Only 200 tickets are available for this show, we\u2019ve reduced the capacity in order to maximise audience enjoyment. Snap them up while you can!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Church of Sound is a regular gig in St James the Great Church, Lower Clapton Rd. A central speaker tower stands tall in the centre of the room, surrounded by musicians, audience and crew. Emphasis is placed firmly on the music: carefully selected, joyfully performed & cleanly recorded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
