Friendly Potential: Rhythm Section International ft.
Friday December 2nd @ Whammy Bar
BRADLEY ZERO
Hailing from Peckham via Leeds, Bradley Zero is quickly becoming the tastemaker of his generation. As founder of the Rhythm Section institution, Bradley has carved out a unique role for himself within the vibrant London scene as Resident Club DJ, broadcaster and Label Boss of one of the most exciting new imprints today – Rhythm Section International.
Having started the Rhythm Section radio show back in 2009, the broadcast naturally translated into a fortnightly dance at Canavan’s Peckham Pool Club, which quickly became a firm fixture in the London Clubbing scene. Resident Advisor and Dummy described it as ”A party which, in spite of its modest means and ambitions, has been something of an epiphany for me, and for plenty of others too” and “some of the best music in London” respectively.
This pioneering work in building the foundations for club culture in Peckham did not go un-noticed and soon Bradley was enlisted as a core programmer and host of the Boiler Room, when the platform was still in it’s infancy. During the early days of the show – alongside Tasker, Drakeford and Thristian – Bradley helped shape Boiler Room into the world conquering institution that it is today, helping steer it in a multitude of musical directions to shine light on the likes of Hiatus Kaiyote, Mood Hut, Beautiful Swimmers, Jan Schulte, Nils Frahm, Jay Daniel and countless other underground heroes whose music had yet to reach a wider audience.
CHAOS IN THE CBD
Hailing from Auckland, New Zealand, brothers Ben and Louis Helliker-Hales are Chaos In the CBD.
New Zealand brothers Ben and Louis Helliker-Hales have worked together for the past 8 years, producing and DJing informed house and techno as Chaos In The CBD.The brothers work with motifs drawn from the historical continuum of house music, paying homage to the timeless classics of the dance spectrum.
Since relocating to London in 2012, they’ve released a string of well received records through ClekClekBoom, Amadeus, Needwant and Hot Haus Records. Along the way they’ve marked themselves out as one of the most eminent underground DJ/production duos to emerge out of the South Pacific in recent years.
The pair split their time between the studio and performing around Europe and the UK as well as Australia and New Zealand.
With a number of releases always waiting to be pressed, Chaos In The CBD are establishing themselves as underground heroes that stand apart from so many of their peers.
PREQUEL
Prequel’s DJ sets combine a love of Detroit House music, a keen crate diggers ear, a desire to challenge audiences and a genuine enthusiasm behind the decks. He wears his musical heart on his sleeve and strives to create a unique and memorable experience whenever and wherever he plays.
2014 saw the first official release of Prequel’s original productions on Bradley Zero’s Rhythm Section International imprint, the labels third release. The Polite Strangers EP garnered attention and praise from the likes of Gilles Peterson, Osunlade, Lefto, Ben UFO and several other well-respected industry figureheads, both abroad and at home.
In 2015 Prequel’s original work appeared on the Wondercore Island Mixtape #5, a contribution to a compilation on new label Transfigured Time as well as a remixes of Melbourne based outfit Tulalah (Equinox Recordings), Sampa The Great and ALTA.
This year Prequel returns to Rhythm Section International to release his sophomore EP—Freedom Jazz Dance—a record that looks to further solidify the bond of Jazz with contemporary music whilst simultaneously proving to be a serious artistic statement in its own right. Freedom Jazz Dance is a record with a message and one that speaks from the soul.
Always on the hunt for playing and making music of true substance, Prequel continues to evolve and improve both behind the decks and in the studio.
