After a controversial police intervention led to their March show’s cancellation, Just Jam are returning to the Barbican on the 13th December for another crack of their grimy whip. Organized by founders Tim & Barry, the event will bring the pair’s cutting edge online music channel to life – fusing their signature low-budget aesthetic with some of the best in underground house, bass and grime. Described as “an immersive audio-video playground” the night will feature many of the artists involved in the original March lineup (including Omar Souleyman, JME and Preditah), as well as a host of new additions. “The show has been a long time coming”, Tim reveals. “It's a pretty all over the place lineup, but hopefully in a good way. We have tried to represent a few different things – where we are coming from, where we are at and where we are going.”
The lineup also includes a very special collaboration between Gang Gang Dance’s Brian De Graw and Hot Chip’s Alexis Taylor, who played for Just Jam last month. In a Dazed exclusive, you can watch the set in question right now to whet your appetite. “Just before the recording began Alexis asked Brian what the plan was, and Brian replied without any irony: ‘I don't know? Just jam?’ The result was an incredible 1hr 15min improvisation. We were so impressed we decided to invite them to perform at the Barbican show.”
Just Jam at the Barbican is taking place on Saturday 13th December 2014. Tickets are available here
