Ten years is a longtime in the music industry, so when a label that has stuck to their resolutely uncommercial roots makes it into double figures that's generally a good reason to celebrate. When you're talking about Lo Recordings who in their 10 year history have championed everything from ear splitting noise to blissful ambience, avant-garde rock to library music and funk rarities, you've got one hell of a good excuse to throw a massive party.
So that's what we've done, on Friday November the 18th, we celebrate 10 years of musical innovation down at The Poke, with a stellar line-up of artists from the label, plus one or two like minded souls and DJs who have championed the label over the years.
A truly eclectic party spread over two railway arches, we are proud to present everything from the acclaimed art-rock of The Chap to the deranged electro pop of Cursor Miner, on the way taking in some of the leading lights of today's leftfield music scene, Radio 1's Rob Da Bank, XFM's Nick Luscombe, Noodles mainman Si Begg and the reigning bastard pop king Osymyso, alongside stars of tomorrow such as Nathan Fake and Secondo.
LO RECORDINGS
Founded ten years ago by Jon Tye, Lo has gone onto become one of the premier independent labels in the UK today, having championed the likes of Squarepusher and Luke Vibert in their careers infancies, released records by artists as diverse as The Aphex Twin and Thurston Moore and been responsible for the resurrection of many an obscure psyche or library record, Lo have gone onto provide a home for some of the most forward thinking acts around today, with the diverse likes of The Chap and Cursor Miner all happily under one roof.
