Ben Lamdin aka Nostalgia 77 is a bit of a musical trailblazer. With a unique melange of jazz, hip-hop and obscuro-funk, he definitely can't be accused of playing it safe. And it's worked well for him – he received a Giles Peterson BBC Worldwide Album Of The Year Award for his efforts. And now's your chance to see him for yourself: he's bringing his full live band to Rich Mix's stage for a rare live appearance. Support will be coming courtesy of eight-piece band Crowd Company, who's modern take on vintage funk is getting them some serious attention in the capital. Now that's a music pairing to get your blood pumping. "Lamdin's production offers a sense of clarity and understated confidence." – BBC Music "Excellent. Dirty, lowdown funk." – Craig Charles (on Crowd Company)
