THE POKE - FRIDAY - 3rd MARCH
10pm till 6am
Jacks, Crucifix Lane, SE1, London
The first Poke of the year and we've pulled out all the stops,
headlining the night we have a DJ set from the legendary 808-State, the
British acid house pioneers whose bleeps and bass inspired a generation
to stay up way past their bedtime and get up to all manner of
naughtiness. As if that wasnt enough we have acid rave legend
Egebamyasi, Skam's Rob Hall, Radioactive Man, live sets from Vector
Lovers and Yila and more:
The Tunnel: 808 State (DJ set), Egebamyasi - live, Rob Hall (skam),
Qwerty (Prikljucak), John Power & DJ SP (back2back acid set)
The Red Room: Radioactive Man (control tower), Vector Lovers (soma) -
live, Yila - live, Josh Console, Sun Ov
It's March the 3rd, 3.03, and here at the Poke we're not ones to look a
gift horse in the mouth, so this month we celebrate two decades of
acidic bleeps and squelches and bow down before the majesty of the
Roland tb-303.
In the main room it's acid all the way as we are proud to present a DJ
set from the pioneers of British Acid House, 808 State, formed in
Manchester in the late eighties, 808 State were among the first in this
country to take on the new sound coming out of Chicago, since then they
have gone on to tour the world, play stadiums and work with the likes of
Bjork, not too shabby!
Keeping the acid vibe live we have rave legend Egebamyasi, a true acid
hero, Mr Egg has resisted the advances of technology and will performing
completely live with around half a dozen different drum machines and
keyboards.
As if that wasnt enough the main room also sees the debut UK set from
Croation DJ, Qwerty, whose brain fried mixes of old school rave, electro
and acid caught our attention on the world famous Solid Steel radio show
and a back to back acid set from John Power and DJ SP who will be
showcasing twenty years worth of wonky music.
But we're not all about celebrating the past, so in the back room we
have live sets from some of the most up and coming producers on the
block, Soma's Vector Lovers, whose pristine beautiful electro has gained
him a growing legion of fans and Yila who expertly mixes strange noises
and complicated rhythmic structures with glorious innocent sounding
melodies.
Throw in DJ sets from Skam Records Rob Hall and one half of Warp's Two
Lone Swordsmen, Radioactive Man and you have another full line-up from
what over the past year has become one of London's leading electro nights.
