Space Ghetto formed in 2017 when long-time friends and collaborators Mehdi Langroodi, Josh Barber and Tom Maine needed an outlet for their shared love of funk music and legends such as The JBs, Parliament Funkadelic and J Dilla.
Alongside Mehdi on drums, Josh on bass and Tom on guitar, Space Ghetto is comprised of some of London's most talked about horn players, trombonist Kieran McLeod, saxophonist Caspar Sutton-Jones, trumpet virtuosos Nick Walters and Yelfris Valdes.
The self-produced Yeet EP, released in January 2018, blends funk, jazz, hip hop and psychedelic rock with hard backbeats and mighty horn melodies. From the relentless, head-nodding title track to the trombone-led 'Better Off Dead', a cover and tribute to the great Bill Withers, whose music the band have continued to explore with a sold out show and live recording from London's Jazz Cafe. The debut record also features Cuban percussionist Javier Camilo, LSO violinist Julian Rodriguez and David Landers on keyboards.
