TALE OF US, DJ TENNIS & THUGFUCKER
Unusual and improbable events in the universe have compelled the founders of Life and Death to travel to Miami. What they've built with PL0T is not a club night, not a label showcase — it's an exploration of the wonders and raw emotions of life and death itself, stretched across 12 hours and three transformed spaces at The Electric Pickle.
Jesse Rose — West London to Panorama Bar, One Sub-Genre at a Time
Jesse Rose wrote his own biography. It is one of the most self-aware pieces of music industry writing we have come across, and also, under the self-deprecating comedy, completely accurate. He did all of it. Four labels. Two hundred releases. Six years at Panorama Bar. A Fabric residency that started by filling in for DJs who missed their flights. The answer to "biggest inspirations?" was hip-hop, the sea, the 808 toms. There is nothing more to add to that.
“Visibility has never been our measure of significance. We seek out artists and inspiring individuals whose work sparks curiosity, challenges assumptions, and leaves a lasting impression.”
