Chibuku keeps the goodness flowing with another three-roomed session or aural abandon at The Masque, serving up some sublime music from around the world.
This show includes debuts for Flying Lotus and Illum Sphere, the return of Annie Mac and a label showcase from True Tiger.
First up is a cracking double header with The Theatre all set for a momentous union of two of the club’s favourite faces. Annie Mac and Fake Blood share a musical template which crosses at the quivering point of electronica, and from there they explore the varied nuances of the genres around it from everything including techno and throbbing electro.
Both are firm favourites with the Buku masses and The Theatre will be going off right from the start, courtesy of young star James Rand taking to the decks.
The Loft welcomes one of Buku’s most intriguing guests to date: Flying Lotus. The Warp Records protégé and electronic auteur fuses elements of jazz, warped house, chopped up funk, deeply melodic trip-hop and electronica together.
It’s artists like this who actually make your ears sit up and listen. Such genre-busting material is typified by his May 2010 album, Cosmogrammy; the only way to really experience this San Fran West Coast phenomenon is to see him live at Chibuku.
Manchester’s Illum Sphere also debuts live. His music shatters boundaries and eardrums, and confounds expectations too in the manner of Floating Points and The Gaslamp Killer, but with an identify all of his own.
The North West’s Jonny Dub – head honcho of Manchester party Hoya Hoya, also spins, and support comes from Buku’s dubstep demon, Rich Furness.
The keys to Ink are handed over to underground imprint True Tiger for the night, helmed by dubstep’s avante garde Stenchman who is support by grime’s lyrical rapper MC P Money.
East London’s Sukh Knight brings his warped drum and bass, dubstep and grime to Liverpool, and the label’s youngest star, the Enter Shikari remixing Bluebear, also stars.
