Absurdist drama meets surreal R&B as Connan Mockasin premieres part one (of five) of his concept project Bostyn ‘n Dobsyn, featuring material from his forthcoming album Jassbusters.
Based on comics and short films Mockasin made 20 years ago, Bostyn ’n Dobsyn is a five-part film about a music teacher, Bostyn, his student Dobsyn, and Bostyn’s band, Jassbusters. After a screening of the first episode, Connan will unveil Jassbusters to the world, an idiosyncratic band of high school music teachers fronted by Mr. Bostyn – the ageing guitarist who plays the starring role in the accompanying film – performing tracks from the new album released in October on Mexican Summer. Connan and his band will round off the night with a live performance.
Connan Mockasin released his first album Forever Dolphin Love in 2010, and has gone on to build a devoted worldwide fan base. He has toured with Radiohead, and has collaborated with the likes of Charlotte Gainsbourg, James Blake and MGMT.

After selling out the 100 Club in no time at all, we’re excited that JPEGMAFIA will be at the Scala on Thursday 1 November!
Often, art is considered the safe space for dangerous ideas. JPEGMAFIA is a reminder that in a dangerous world, sometimes nowhere is safe. Operating out of Baltimore Maryland but born in New York to Jamaican parents, JPEG spent the bulk of his childhood in East Flatbush, Brooklyn – a neighborhood deeply rooted in West Indian culture and black pride – & the majority of his mid teens in deep south rural Alabama – bouncing from place to place due to rough circumstances at home & after a short stint in prison due to a racially-charged altercation in his late teens, JPEG joined the military where he’d be deployed to different parts of the world, meeting fellow artists and adding new elements to his producing and rapping repertoire.
If trap music is the sound of the street, then JPEGMAFIA is trap’s subconscious; dark but not without a humor that makes things even more uncomfortable. His role as villain or satirist, hood protector or nihilist is intentionally hard to put one’s finger on. What more appropriate way to embody the frightening and confusing reality of America today?
Tickets are available on Friday 13 July at 10am. Don’t sleep on these!

sisters & brothers,
there is a constant tug of war going on inside us all. inaudible voices that scream when we’re alone & mumble when we’re not. they push us & pull us in every direction. they are judges in every decision. they are as relentless as they are invisible. some are saints with dreams of love. others are vile, lusting for blood. joy vs terror. light vs dimness. wonder vs dread. we are people with many sides.. many rivals within us.
i ended youth lagoon because it became a mental dungeon, & i was its captive. my intention was never to keep it going — only to serve as a nod to the blooming years. it’s been said the worst prisons are the ones we build for ourselves / the barriers, rules, & regulations that we choose to live by out of fear of the unknown or because we think it’s what we’re supposed to do. but i now feel freed. this project is the beginning of something new; not the continuation of something old.
every person alive is full of opposing forces. paradoxes. millions of thoughts swimming around while we fish for one to act on. we walk a fine line between calm & chaos, & often forget there’s only so much in our control. the rest is like wind; impossible to predict & futile to hold. it’s in this space that i have been spending time writing. i’ve been learning that love cannot exist without nightmares. peace cannot exist without pain. it’s in this space that i present to you..
playwright.

After four years away, much-loved pastoral pop band Tunng make their return to the stage later this year at Islington Assembly Hall on 25th October.
The band has also shared a new piece of music and Flatland is classic Tunng. Inspired by Edwin Abbott Abbott’s 1884 book of the same name about a two dimensional world, it blends the groups love of experimental electronics with acoustic instrumentation, with “the hookiest rolling finger pick of all time, inserted through a controversial three dimensional effects loops” says producer Mike Lindsay, with promises of more music on the horizon.
