Cookshop is an independent record label set up in 2002 by recording artists Lost Idol and La Femme. Their original vision was to establish an unrestrictive output for experimental mutations of 'dance' music covering a wide spectrum from electronica to cinematic jazz to skewed drum n' bass to leftfield hip hop and beyond, paying little regard to fashions or formulas but simply releasing music they believe in. This ethic still holds true, as Cookshop work with a global collective of artists who all have something sonically fresh to offer resulting in a catalogue that is diverse and a sound that is constantly evolving.
KING PORTER STOMP with TIN ROOTS @ THE BRUNSWICK, SAT DEC 12TH.
We're very happy indeed to have been invited back to play a Christmas show at the Brunswick. We're gonna be joined by our festival friends and wicked roots reggae groovers, Tin Roots, so expect a whole lotta skanking and stomping around with the odd mince pie chucked in.
We'll be fresh from our South West mini tour and it'll be the last chance to catch us play before we go into hibernation to record our new album at the beginning of the new year...we may even give you a sneaky taster of what's in store...it's gonna be fat and funky for sure. We're planning knocking 2009 on the head with a bang so please come down and experience us burning off all the calories we've got and lifting the roof in a proper stomping party stylee.
It's hopefully gonna be rammed so please get your tickets in advance to avoid disappointment, and they're cheaper!
We don't normally do this but one of our favourite acts are coming to town tommorrow and we just want to let you know what not to miss.
Smerins Anti-Social Club will be playing at Hector's House this Saturday night 7th Nov!
Check out their new video here
Cheers for that guys, hope all's well in your world. The next time you can catch King Porter Stomp in Brighton is Sat Dec 12th when we'll be playing at the Brunswick with the fantastic Tin Roots.
It's the end of our 23 date UK festival tour tommorow and there's nothing better to do in a 500 mile radius than to get down to middle farm to celebrate the apple harvest.
