Headfirst Editor's Pick

"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 on Friday 10th October. The event starts at 20:30.

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. We’re proud to welcome them to The Forge, bringing their unique sound to Bristol.
