Videocrash 4 w/ Hexstatic vs Shlomo, Stonephace, Cheeba + more
The first Saturday in November sees the return to KOKO of the awesome Videocrash, the capital's biggest and best dedicated AV night. For the 4th in the series we have invited reigning masters Hexstatic back to show everybody how it's done with their unmistakable show, plus a guest appearance from beat-boxing superstar Shlomo, while electronic-free-jazz super-group Stonephace provide a mind-blowing live aspect to the affair. We will also see the triumphant return to KOKO of DJ Cheeba and his Serato-based AV extravaganza (this time with a little something extra thrown in!) and the Videocrash debut for London-based experi-mentalists Glass Diamond and Polish super-stars Oszibarack, both with their own unique brands of electronic tuneage.
What’s that you say? Sweaty fans gyrating wildly whilst gawking in disbelief at the rapturous visuals beaming at them from our MASSIVE screens? I can smell it already…
