This night officially launches an EP by Soundspecies (featuring Ron Trent, IG Culture and Hello Skinny).
The music was originally recorded in Santiago de Cuba as a collaboration between Soundspecies and folkloric ensemble Ache Meyi. Ache Meyi's identity is rooted in interlocking web of Afro-Haitian rhythms like bembe, vodu, gaga and merengue.
Soundspecies have re-imagined the original collaboration with a London based group driven by the duo's distinctive approach to live electronic programming. The band features world class musicians from Cuba, Venezuela (and Dorset!).
Adam Rock (Jazz re:freshed) will be kicking things off, followed by Soundspecies (live). Repping his presence on the EP, 'CoOp Presents: Selectors Assemble' founder, IG Culture, will be closing the night.
