To mark the release of the eighth volume in Mr Bongo’s iconic’ Record Club’ compilation series, they are putting on a party at Rough Trade East on Sunday June 28th. Running from 3pm to 7pm, it’s an afternoon into evening celebration of music from around the world, with DJ sets from Mr Bongo, as well as some very special guests joining them…
A rare in-store performance from pioneering vocalist Asha Puthli, appearing for a special 30-minute live set with her band. A defining voice across jazz, disco and electronic music, Puthli’s cult recordings including ‘Space Talk’ and ‘The Devil Is Loose’, alongside her landmark collaboration with Ornette Coleman have established her as one of the most distinctive artists in modern music history. Alongside her celebrated catalogue, she continues to work within contemporary music culture, including a recent feature on Gorillaz’s The Mountain (“The Moon Cave”), as well as her new single ‘PAWA!’ with Say She She. This intimate set offers a rare opportunity to experience her music up close in a focused live setting.
Hollie Cook will also be taking to the stage to perform tracks from her incredible ‘Shy Girl In Dub!’ album. Expect vintage dub reggae; crafted on an analogue mixing desk, weaving in delays, echoes, and reverb to push Hollie’s trademark sound into a hypnotising, rhythm and bass-heavy, electronic realm.
Both Asha and Hollie will be signing albums and merch after their performances. You’ll also be able to purchase the coloured vinyl special edition of Mr Bongo Record Club Vol. 8 double LP, an exclusive to Rough Trade. Plus there will be a wide-selection of the Mr Bongo catalogue available.
