Since December 2006 when Soweto Kinch first blogged on the difficulties of getting his music filed under the correct category in music retailers, the landscape of music distribution and the reach of independent artists has completely changed.
The War in A Rack Mixtape will feature new and original material. This will be the first time since A Life in The Day of B19, and the frustrated release of Basement Fables pt2 that Soweto Kinch will present new work. It therefore marks his emergence as an independent artist and signifies his material breaking free both from his record label and an industry fascination with categorising creativity.
The War in a Rack EP London Launch
Date: Sunday, 29 November 2009
Time: 6pm – 8pm
Venue: Richmix, Shoreditch (35-37 Bethnal Green Road, Shoreditch E1 6LA)
ADMISSION IS FREE
The War in A Rack is a completely different approach to reaching target audiences, and it also signifies the launch of Soweto Kinch Productions as an independent recording and production company. They will also be releasing a 6 track E.P (The War in A Rack mixtape) featuring both national and international artists. including Verbal Kent, Tumi (Tumi and the Volume) and C4sey (Pentalk).
This completely bespoke date features his core quartet (Femi Temowo – guitar, Karl Rasheed Abel – bass, and Graham Godfrey - drums). Admission is free and he will be signing CDs (at £6) at the event. Moreover! Soweto regularly incorporates jpegs, sent via bluetooth into an improvised freestyle in shows. This performance however will extend that principle allowing his audience to send in relevant information and pictures weeks in advance, shaping the format of the show.
PS – Birmingham readers will be able to catch the same launch night on Thursday 26th November 2009 from 8pm-10pm at the Hockley Bar and Kitchen
