Belleruche Live @ Vibe Bar

SATURDAY 11TH JULY 2009

The turntable is perhaps best described as a time machine.
Dr Withnail Duke, Paris, 1899.

A summer party in the city, curated by Belleruche, at the Vibe Bar, Brick Lane, East London, because of the magic of recorded music. Its 111 years since the British Gramophone company was founded, and the people of London could start buying records for the first time. This event is a celebration of that recorded music. All of it. Djs will be playing sets ranging from 1930s talking blues via 50s jazz and 60s southern soul, through to the most recently recorded bed- room dubstep and electronic hip-hop producers.

Featuring LIVE Belleruche, Natural Self, The Correspondents, The Shadow Orchestra + a ton of DJs!
