Soundcrash presents the long awaited Live UK debut of the most mystifying voices on Warp Records.

Gonjasufi is the name the dreadlocked, dark-eyed, Mojave Desert-dwelling Sumach Ecks assumes for his current musical incarnation. It’s more accurate to describe him as a vocalist than a singer, as the sounds that he disgorges on his debut album, A Sufi and a Killer, travel rapidly from warbling notes to gravelly wails and dry-throated cackles.

The haggardly psychedelic and Eastern-influenced feel of Gonjasufi is layered and complex. Produced by the Gaslamp Killer, Mainframe, and Gonjasufi’s Warp Records label mate Flying Lotus, Gonjasufi’s music is an experience in and of itself, and tonight we have the priviledge of listening to it LIVE and direct in the UK for the very first time.

The Motherf&%$ing Gaslamp Killer is without a doubt the most entertaining man behind two turntables. Mixing in and out of a myriad styles like it’s going out of fashion, gesticulating, jumping and screaming, GLK is not your average DJ. He will mess with your head. In a good way.
