ZU STATE
Three live acts blending jazz, hip hop and soul, with jazz vinyl between sets in a New York-style club atmosphere.
Chaka and the Zu bring old-school hip hop with subtle jazz influences, blending live instrumentation, soulful sounds and classic rap energy.
States Under Inspection bring an alternative take on hip hop and jazz, mixing experimental sounds, live musicianship and genre-bending production.
Merce Jade brings a sultry voice, soulful melodies and a sound shaped by jazz, hip hop and R&B influences. Self-produced and effortlessly expressive, she brings her own unique take on the genres. Between each set, jazz vinyl keeps the music going, taking you from one performance to the next and giving the whole night its own soundtrack.
Zu State is part live show, part social club, part secret society. Inspired by the style, energy and culture of New York jazz clubs, it's a place to hear something different, meet good people and lose yourself in the music for a few hours.
