We are happy to announce a new [ALT JAZZ] series event: The USA Grammy-nominated jazz artist, drummer, emcee, singer and producer Kassa Overall comes live in Control on Monday, May 11, promoting his latest album ‘CREEAM’ released on Warp Records. 

At a recent show in Switzerland, Summer Pearl felt the room open up around her, recalling the surprise of facing a far larger audience than expected and the sense that she and her band, The Anatomy, simply let go that night.

Second instalment of ALT JAZZ series is Summer Pearl. Known for her care-free live performances and to-the-point lyrics, Summer Pearl transcends the audience to a place of soul and truth.

Fast, on target, meaningful, the modern UK hip hop is a pledge to consistency. With the commercial focus on grime, hip hop artists were able to play and explore without the pressure of 1 mill copies. In the UK hip-hop, there is no fight for who’s the king. There is no king. There is only the oppression of Babylon and the fight against it.
