Antipodean Records presents
MdCL's Freesoul Sessions 4th Birthday LONDON FINALE
Sunday 9 Nov 7pm-midnight @ Cargo, London

LIVE: MARK DE CLIVE-LOWE + BEMBE SEGUE + VANESSA FREEMAN + TAWIAH + SHARLENE HECTOR + MYSTRO + RICHARD SPAVEN
DJS: PHIL ASHER + DOMU + MC MOTET
VJ: SOOPANATURAL



Founded by MdCL in London, 2004, the concept of Freesoul Sessions is simple - MdCL armed with MPC drum machine and keyboards is joined by a rotating cast of top soul, jazz, hip hop and beat-artists coming together in the spirit of total improvisation. Each and every time, the live show is totally unique and a one-off experience for the musicians and the crowd. The first thing you hear is the metronome click of the MPC as MdCL builds beats from thin air, dropping the bass lines and keys as musicians join him in improvising beat-head bliss laced with singers and MCs. Hip hop meets House, Brazil meets Brukstep.. it's the mash-up session like you've never heard it.

We're celebrating the clubnite's 4th Birthday at Cargo with a heavyweight line-up, and the added twist that it's the London Finale of the clubnite. MdCL is leaving the UK to setup his beatmaking shop in Los Angeles. One of the finest live artists you're going to see performing his last show on UK shores for some time.

The guests for the 4th Birthday special include MdCL's favourite UK artists and collaborators: Bémbé Ségué (The Politik, 4Hero, Jazzanova), Vanessa Freeman, Tawiah (Mark Ronson), Sharlene Hector (Basement Jaxx), Mystro, Richard Spaven (Ty, Jazzmatazz, Jose James) along with DJs Phil Asher (restless soul, Phlash + Friends), Domu and MC Motet (Bugz in the Attic). It's the best of UK underground soul, breaks, house, jazz and hip hop brought together for one night only. Live VJ by cutting edge visual artist Soopanatural.

'...the man behind a million great tunes' - Gilles Peterson/Radio 1 Worldwide

'... an interface between soul, jazz and electronica, a union of unrestrained live playing and inventive beatmaking, Freesoul occupies a very unique place in contemporary Black British Music' - Echoes Magazine

FREESOUL SESSIONS 3rd Birthday Special
Saturday 3 November, 7-11pm @ Jazz Cafe, London



Mark de Clive-Lowe’s beat-heavy live-improvisation clubnite turns three years
old this year. The concept is simple - MdCL armed with MPC and keyboards is
joined by a rotating cast of top soul, jazz, hip hop and beat-artists coming
together in the spirit of total improvisation. Everything you hear is created
live on the spot starting with MdCL on MPC drums, bass lines and keyboards -
an entire set of new-school club, underground soul and cosmic funk unfolding
itself live on stage. 21st Century Parliament-Funkadelic meets Pharoah Sanders...
and 100% improvised.

Over the last three years Freesoul Sessions has gone to Moscow, Paris, Tokyo,
New York, LA, Atlanta, Montrel, Sydney, Paris, Sao Paulo and Bangkok to name
just a few spots, and been recorded and released on three EPs of stage-born
creations on Antipodean Records. For the birthday celebration, MdCL has
invited the best of the UK’s underground to join him including Bembe Segue
(The Politik/4Hero), Vanessa Freeman (Reel People/Roy Ayers), Jason Yarde
(McCoy Tyner/Jack DeJohnette), Richard Spaven (Guru/Ty), a surprise guest on
vocals direct from Philadelphia. Bugz in the Attic’s Afronaught will be DJ
support with Bugz frontman MC Motet on mic. Expect the unexpected!

MdCL - MPC drums, synth bass, rhodes, piano, keys, fx
Bembe Segue - vocals
Vanessa Freeman - vocals
Jason Yarde - horns, fx
Richard Spaven - live drums
special guest direct from Philadelphia – vocals

+ DJ Afronaught (Bugz in the Attic) + MC Motet (UpRock Recordings)
