Throw Some Shapes: Interpretations @ Jazz Place, Friday

Throw Some Shapes

If you’re in Brighton this weekend, this should be an interesting night of music and definitely one worth checking out.

Throw Some Shapes headlines Bullion, a West London hip hop producer who I can only compare to a UK version of DJ Shadow in terms of mind-altering productions at a slightly downtempo pace and who’s ego must be massive with the number of fans he’s won over, including Radio 1’s Mary Anne Hobbs and Zane Low, Busy P, and Goldie. With gigs like Sonar, Glastonbury and Big Chill, this intimate Brighton one should be gentle mid-summer treat.

Support comes in the way of chilled out ambient sound from Brighton act Atalanta, who’s doing a DJ set, hip hop goodness from Figure of Wax and some floor-cutting funk and soul from promoter Dave Richtor.

What they say:

“After listening to the new Bullion joint, i drove back to Detroit, and punched my mom in the stomach. FILTHY.”
House Shoes (USA)

“Insanely good!”
Busy P (Ed Banger Records, Paris)

“If only I had this guys range of music at his age, 2009 is going to be Bullions year, so you better watch out for him”
Goldie (Metalheadz)

“Absolutely loving this”
Mary Anne Hobbs (BBC Radio 1)

“Sounds great!”
Osborne (Spectral Sounds, USA)

“This is future music…”
Zane Lowe (BBC Radio 1)
