computer-based electronic jazz + DJ Anessen
"Free entry! Echoing the energy of Floating Points, Ezra Collective and Sons of Kemet, London’s Zeñel blends Afrobeats, jungle and grime with a heavy dose of live jazz flair. Their electronic improvisations twist jazz into a percussive, club-tuned frenzy engineered for intimate live gigs and Friday night freakouts alike."

A gig held at The Canteen on Friday 14th August. The event starts at 22:00.
Zeñel is a London-based quartet which utilises a unique approach to computer-based performance, allowing them to create a poetic combination of jazz improvisation and electronic music. Their style is centred around sounds seldom heard in live band contexts, drawing upon a plethora of electronic production styles including grime, UK drill, afrobeats and future bass.
"They deliver, though, in the finest traditions of jazz: memorable tunes that are a cloak for complex, challenging and thrilling improvisations. Process Z is a bared-teeth cavalry charge that might have been cooked up by Jimi Hendrix with advisory input from Darth Vader. Laurence Wilkins’ electronically-modified trumpet carries the crushing energy of a lightning strike. After this, we’re relieved to find our limbs still intact." - Cambridge Jazz Fest 2017, LondonJazzNews
