Sneaky Pete's

EC Sessions is a Youth Music Initiative funded project offering high quality music-making opportunities to young people aged between 13-17. It’s in partnership and based at Edinburgh College’s Milton Road campus where participants are writing, recording and performing original material. Now in it’s third year, the EC Sessions is aiming to continue into next year so this gig aims to raise funds to support them to continue. It also offers the three bands performing a chance to play in a mainstream venue for the first time.

Erol Alkan returns for his first of two ‘To The Rhythm’ parties in 2023 at Sneaky Pete’s.

Continuing a series of previously sell out, extended sets, ‘To The Rhythm’ creates the space for Alkan to explore the outer reaches of his record collection.

Over four hours, one of London’s most iconic figures in nightlife and alternative culture will present his singular alchemy of future, present and past: an unpredictable trip through offbeat strains of house, disco, techno, electro and alternative music, all mixed with a unique, psychedelic sensibility.

Composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist, Neue Grafik has been building strong rep for himself over the past few years, releasing records on labels such asRhythm Section, 22a, CoOp Presents and Wolf Music. His sound is a hybrid of jazz, house and hip hop, all with his unique geographical flavours of African ethnicity,Parisian roots and a love for London sounds like broken beat & grime thrown into the mix. Having been first properly introduced to the community of Total Refreshment Centre, home to London’s flourishing jazz scene, during an after-hours jam, it came to TRC founder Lex Blond in’s attention that Neue Grafik had some exquisite compositions of his own.

A few weeks later, it was decided that Neue Grafik would form a band — the Neue Grafik Ensemble(him on piano, rhodes and synths, Emma-Jean Thackray on trumpet, Vels Trio’s Dougal Taylor on drums and Matt Gedrych from Madd Addam on bass) — and that they would do their first gig at the now-closed venue of TRC, a week after the first day of rehearsals. No pressure… Then, the group got in the studio.

«Foulden Road», the EP taken from those sessions, came out in 2019 and featured Nubya Garcia, Emma-Jean Thackray, Brother Portrait and Allysha Joy to name a few. Neue Grafik is now setting to release

«Foulden Road Pt. II»—a new record entirely dedicated to Adama Traoré and Assa Traoré, their community and more largely to all Black people around the globe 

Hot Mess is a dance party for queer people and their friends.

It’s hard not to think of Seattle’s halcyon days of logger fashion and furious riffs. But don’t call it a throwback, the trio may be using the same arsenal but they’re injecting it with a perspective that could only come from the modern era with their latest EP, Z O T.

Recorded by Steve Fisk (himself a grunge legend) and Arsen Gogeshvili, Z O T recontextualizes the sound Seattle first became famous for and injects with new youthful energy. 

Live, the energy they infect into the room is palpable. The shrieking force of “I Don’t Get It” exudes disgust and worry through layers of fuzz, while “Lost My Car” plays to the idiosyncrasies and plights of big city life.

Undoubtedly one of the fastest rising names in UK Garage, Oppidan has made a name for herself with her distinctive production style blending 2-step, 4×4 NUKG, hip-hop, soul, grime and UK bass influences.

At this relatively early stage of her career, she’s had releases on Night Bass, 24 Hour Garage Girls and Steppers Club as well as being an active part of Conducta’s Kiwi Rekord’s roster. She’s also established herself as a phenomenal DJ, playfully blurring the lines between UK garage, gunky, grime and house.

bar italia is a London-based band. Their hazy production, blemished hooks and outsider aesthetic make bar italia a perfect fit for Dean Blunt’s World Music label.

MEMORIALS is the new band of Verity Susman (Electrelane’s frontwoman) and Matthew Simms (Wire,Better Corners, It Hugs Back, UUUU).As a duo these multi-instrumentalists cover plenty of ground onstage, juggling instruments in a set up resembling that of a 5-piece band. Their sound touches on the many points for which they are known, veering from melodic songwriting to psychedelic noise, free jazz freak outs, tape loops and drones, and then back again.

Saul Adamczewski, guitarist, singer, songwriter and producer of Fat White Family, Insecure Men and collaborator of many of your other favourite artists, is going on tour in support of the future cult classic ‘Adventures in Limbo’.

This album is his first solo album to be released under his own name recorded in 2019. A question mark has been sitting over this album with regard to it ever being released, but Juicy Juice will be releasing it in a strict limited edition of 500 black vinyl copies only available on this tour.

HAIL !!!! ( as Saul would say )
