ROUND­HOUSE RISING: WHATS ON?

Start­ing pro­ceed­ings on 21^st Feb­ru­ary is RISING FUTURES, a day of cre­at­ive mas­ter­classes, talks and work­shops for those look­ing to take the next step in music, then on 22^nd Feb­ru­ary, AWATE per­forms — razor sharp bars and impec­cable flow, with Turk­ish and the Last Skep­tik in tow. 24^th Feb­ru­ary sees the return of the ARTIST TOOLKIT DAY, tak­ing place at the You­Tube Lon­don Space — the home of video innov­a­tion.

Next up, it’s a head­line from BLAIR DUN­LOP on Sunday 25^th Feb­ru­ary, a sing­er / song­writer whose sooth­ing folk med­leys have seen him bag­ging sev­er­al awards this past year. Sup­port comes from lo-fi rock­er DM Far­ley, Round­house Res­id­ent Artist, Saa­chi Sen and Ailbhe Reddy. JAZZ RE:FRESHED head up the 27^th, with a golden line-up selec­ted by the taste­m­aker crew. Tri­force will rep­res­ent with broken jazz / hip-hop / neo-soul fusions, then drum­mer, Ayo Saluwu, will per­form with his cos­mic crew the Jazza­delics. Round­house Res­id­ent Artist, Fred Fre­das and the Round­house Music Col­lect­ive also join.

Assemble all grime heads! The 28^th Feb­ru­ary sees sem­in­al UK radio sta­tion, BBC Music Intro­du­cing,present a night of emer­ging tal­ent from the urb­an music world, cur­ated by DJ Tar­get (BBC Radio 1Xtra), with high­lights broad­cast on 1Xtra. The show is free and tick­ets are applied for via a lot­tery. Midland’s finest Dapz on the Map (RiskyRoadz) heads up the show, tipped by Pro­fess­or Green, Shola Ama, BBK & Ghetts. There’s more sol­id gold tal­ent join­ing in the form of break­out MC Yizzy — the win­ner of BBC Music Introducing’s Future Fund and one of ‘NME’s 100 Essen­tial Artists’ at only 17; as well as South Lon­don rap­per Alicia Har­ley, whose debut single was included in Spotify’s UK ‘New Music Fri­day’ playl­ist and is cham­pioned by the likes of Mis­ta­Jam and DJ Tar­get.

Next in line on 1^st March, Roundhouse’s RISING SOUNDS comes to life, a pro­ject that unites estab­lished artists and pro­du­cers with next gen­er­a­tion names to pro­duce an album that fuses artist styles. This event is the first chance to hear the album in a room full of industry invit­ees, with sev­er­al tracks per­formed live. Gaika (Warp Records), Bayoz Music (Giggs’ pro­du­cer), Mar­got Broom (Fat White Fam­ily) are just a snap­shot of those involved.

A favour­ite on the agenda is the clash of titans, the RISING SOUND­CLASH, act­ing as one of the final shows on 2^nd March. Bossy LDN, DJ duo Girls Can’t DJ, Prestige Pak and Res­on­ate Sounds will all fight for the title of RISING SOUND­CLASH CHAM­PI­ON 2018. Judging the clash is 1Xtra’s Sian Ander­son, Roundhouse’s Laurie Char­les­worth and KISS FM’s Swar­zy Mac­aly. This will be hi-energy buzz from begin­ning to end. Do not miss. On the 3^rd March it’s the PRO­DU­CERS TAKEOVER ‘ROUND OUR PLACE,’ an all day fest­iv­al cur­ated by emer­ging pro­du­cers. The Round­house stu­di­os will be trans­formed into a mini neigh­bour­hood, with a lounge, an indoor park, a house party rave and a lib­rary. Pro­du­cers have con­firmed Jerome Thomas and Boadi and The Banku Powers as two of the artists.

The Grand Finale comes in the form of LITTLE SIMZ: WEL­COME TO WON­DER­LAND: THE EXPER­I­ENCE, a con­cep­tu­al all-day event put togeth­er by the pion­eer­ing rap­per and per­former. OnSunday 4^th March, Little Simz unites her favour­ite new artists, includ­ing rising star Cleo Sol, DJ Miller, and Ezra Col­lect­ive, the five piece col­lect­ive fus­ing afrobeats, hip-hop and jazz. Known for his soul­ful arrange­ments and groov­ing bass­lines, IAM­NOBODI also joins, then NYC rap­per Jungle­pussy brings her power bars to the Roundhouse’s main stage space. Plus there’s way more tal­ent in the form of teen­age MC ‘Lion­ess’, South Lon­don soul song­stress Tawi­ah and the incred­ible Van Jess. It’s a fam­ily affair with DJ and Pro­du­cer OTG, cre­at­or McKay Felt and Corey Wash in tow. Past guests include Stormzy, Chip­munk and more — this will be a chance to see the stars of tomor­row first. There will also be dis­cus­sions, exhib­i­tions, food and more through­out the day.
