In any relationship, difference is the dynamic that makes magic happen. In musical partnerships, it’s often the crucial friction that makes creative sparks fly but, a fraction too much friction, and everything’s likely to go up in smoke.
Lou Rhodes and Andy Barlow understand difference more than most. They’re the first to admit that when they got together their diametrically opposing aesthetics – Lou’s devotion to The Song, Andy’s obsession with all things beats-driven and electronic and his complete disinterest in vocals – created problems. Often, the very glue that bound them together nearly saw them come unstuck. But those differences also bred a mutual respect and resulted in one of the most genuinely genre-bending dance albums of the mid-90s. In 1996, when drum’n’bass ruled, Lamb’s eponymous debut LP up-ended the rigid idea of that form by warming its distinctively chilly, tacheometric chatter with injections of jazz, classical, blues, techno and hip hop and giving it an intensely personal, highly emotional charge. The sweetly stuttering ‘Cottonwool’ and divine ‘Gorecki’ singles showed that drum’n’bass could do much more than just make feet move quicker – it could make hearts beat faster, too.
]]>Produced by Chris Seefried and featuring a stellar band including former Miles Davis pianist Deron Johnson, Lady's forthcoming album, Black Acid Soul, presents a wholly fresh take on the jazz vocal idiom. 2020 single, Blackbird, is a stirring interpretation of Nina Simone's powerful civil rights anthem. The track embodies passion, enthusiasm, and hope from an artist blessed with a bold, unmistakable voice.

]]>Their obscure mix of psychedelic riffs, mantras, and rock and roll mysticism laughs in the face of 90's Britpop orthodoxy and, combined with their revision of the swirling, guitar-heavy sounds of late 60s psychedelia, brings crowds an energetic, impassioned live experience.

Their name is an Orobo – a Nigerian tribe and language – word meaning ‘be strong’ and there’s certainly a powerful force behind their musical drive. Drawing as much from nightlife, the musical influences of West African Pentecostal churches, jazz and Western classical, the band’s impulse to create comes from asking: “what does this music sound like for my generation?”
