From the organizer:

Come to a live minimal disco act with Roscius (France) and Cervo (UK). Cervo will open and close the night with classic and contemporary African & Latin American rhythms, soulful grooves & global dancefloor sounds.

Originally from London, ROSCIUS is a class live act that mixes jazz with classical, melancholic with disco, and everything beyond and in between deep house, minimal electro, and world beats. His parents were choral conductors, he was part of a choir, and is now a world-class DJ that experiments with vocals from around the world. Add a touch of acoustic and electronic drums, keyboards, and some jazz improvs, and his experiment has got you on your feet.

With these elements which he loops, using a sample pedal, ROSCIUS creates a whole electronic universe, which runs between Steve Reich, LCD Soundsystem, deep house, minimal electro, disco and some world music. In the same vein as a DJ he draws together various topics improvised with or without breaks, in a club / performance format. The aim of the project is to return to music actually performed, removing itself from the entrapments of machinery, whilst remaining in a dynamic atmosphere, encouraging dancing, with a state of mind close to the contemporary music scene.

CERVO is one half of UK-based music website, club night and DJ duo Banana Hill, who focus on classic and contemporary African & Latin American rhythms, soulful grooves & global sounds for the dancefloor; afrobeat, kwaito, neo-soul, cumbia, hip hop, house, footwork, jazz, disco, funk and much more.

Past guests at Banana Hill parties include Gilles Peterson, Andrés, Quantic, Lone, Move D, Awesome Tapes From Africa, Spoek Mathambo, Marcellus Pittman, Auntie Flo + more.

Cervo also runs a residency at renowned club Soup Kitchen in Manchester alongside Boiler Room founder Thris Tian. In addition, he has played festivals such as Dimensions, Africa Oyé, Kelburn Garden Party and more, and curates stages for Tramlines & Outlines Festivals. His edits and productions have gained support on stations such as Rinse FM and NTS Radio, and he features monthly on Leeds station KMAH. Radio.

Tickets: 100,000 VND on the door.
