A gig held at The Jam Jar on Thursday 12th October. The event starts at 20:00.
With an uncompromising approach to their music, Swedish powerhouse Deki Alem are blazing trails with every new release. Their sound fuses fat hip hop basslines, droning lo-fi vocals, & driving breakbeats, with infectious crescendos of raw energy.
Following the release of two singles, each accompanied by its own video last year, the twin duo proceeded to unveil their debut project titled 'Among Heads' together with producers and longtime collaborators Richard Zastenker and Johannes Klahr (Drake, Lady Gaga, Swedish House Mafia). This project concluded with a European tour and a slot as the opening act for 'Gorillaz'. Additionally, the duo were nominated at the Swedish Grammys for 'best alternative pop' act.
This year, Deki Alem have released their highly anticipated project 'Fluent Stutter' and embarked on a 20-date festival tour over summer, playing festivals such as The Great Escape, Roskilde, Pukkelpop and Lowlands.
Support:
Frozemode are the next gen Punk-Rap outfit we have all been waiting for. Screaming guitars, blasting breakbeats & punchy bars, this London outfit are taking the country by storm right now.
Afterparty:
We are gonna keep banging it out after Deki are off stage, Chamba & Luvah from Exodus records are manning the 1's & 2's til 1am! Stick around for heavy breaks & big basslines!
