Masters Of Our Craft | Lascelle

Lascelle Gordon is a musical polymath who with his latest creative brainchild, Vibration Black Finger, he follows up on a long line of exciting, and highly accomplished collaborations. Founder member of Acid Jazz Pioneers Brand New Heavies, Campag Velocet, and Helliocentrics are just the tip of his creative iceberg.

 
As one of the house DJs at London's hipper-than-hip Wag Club in the 1980s, he earned a reputation as an eclectic and adventurous musical spirit, before helping to found Acid Jazz pioneers The Brand New Heavies, staying with the band for five years. His next project Heliocentric World scored a chart hit for Gilles Peterson's Talkin' Loud; he then turned up behind the drum kit for indie darlings (and NME cover stars) Campag Velocet in the late 1990s. He's since gone on to appear live or record with the likes of Mr Scruff, Beth Orton, Gossip, Trevor Jackson, Peaches and others. More recently he's been working with indie popsters Le Volume Courbe and touring with James Holden, as well as forming astro jazz improv collective Woven Entity with fellow percussionist Patrick Dawes and drummer Paul May, whose debut album won much critical acclaim. He currently co-hosts a weekly show on NTS Radio, Music to Ease Your Disease.

 
We are very excited to have Lascelle at the helm of our first of many Masters of our Craft playlists on Spotify.
