Gucci Sound System have been rocking discotheques across the world and haverecently featured on DFA with a remix of LCD Soundsystem as well as their own 12” release on the Death From Abroad offshoot. Joe Ransom’s sets are packed with hot, heavy jams, road tested through his long standing Fabric residency and Kiss100 radio show. Martelo is a mashup king, Santagold’s UK tour deejay of choice and all round party starter! Playing live, Grovesnor is a combination of wonky electro, Hall & Oates and smooth 70s music. His single ‘Nitemoves’ kicked off Hot Chip’s DJ Kicks album and he has toured extensively with the band including supporting them at their big Somerset House show last summer. The second of our coincidental Hot Chip affiliated live acts is Dels who is currently recording his debut album with Joe Goddard from the band.

at the
Chris rock has announced a date at the O2 in May – which will make him the first comedian to play the venue – beating Lee Evans by a few months. The date will form part of the American funny man’s “No Apologies” world tour – the first part of the Uk leg. There will be over 17,000 tickets available for the gig on May 23rd and 24th. Everybody Hates Chris, according to the man’s hit US sitcom. In the UK, it’s more a case of Nobody Really Knows Chris - until now - as the fifth greatest standup of all time (according to a recent Comedy Central poll) embarks on his first ever British tour. Last night’s London gig certainly confirmed Rock’s right to be considered among the greats, although there was an unevenness between his insightful material on racial politics and his fairly regressive treatment of politics of the sexual variety. In a set full of topical material, Rock began with the Democrat presidential primaries and found rich pickings. The face-off between black man and white woman, says Rock, is like a suffering contest. Which oppressed group most deserves a crack at the presidency? This black man won’t concede first prize to anyone (“Seabiscuit had a better life than my granddaddy”). But he manages to tread the line between shameless provocation (he suggests that “Barack needs a white woman”, because no black woman could be submissive enough to be first lady) and neat new perspective. To what extent is a former presidential wife’s claim on “experience” justified, given that “I’ve been married 10 years, and if my wife came onstage now, y’all would not laugh”? The politics material devolved into good, but predictable George Bush jokes and an unfortunate gag that seemed to consider US casualties as the worst thing about the Iraq war. It’s when Rock considers race that he hits his richest seam. Like his UK-based fellow American Reginald D Hunter, he
magazine(P2).indd 13
probes the awkwardness and hypocrisy to be found beneath the polite surface of race relations. His stage manner is supreme confidence and no frills, and his broad-grinned authority made his every statement on a subject seem like the last word. I was happy to be swept along by that, until some unreconstructed quips about the sex war. To Rock, as to countless comedians before him, men and women are diametrically opposed. Women are motivated by money and security, men by sex. “Fellas”, he says, “if you lose your job, you gonna lose your woman.” I might have welcomed some advice on what to do if you lose your will to live at a comedy gig, but it wasn’t forthcoming. But that barely detracted from the evident and clamorous success of this UK debut. On race, without doubt, he’s electrifying - even if on women, Rock finds himself in a hard place.

In its review of AFRIKA! AFRIKA!, German magazine Der Spiegel called the show a “kingdom of the travelling entertainers and a paradise for the zest of life. With this show, says television station ZDF, André Helle is doing the audience, the artists and a whole continent a favor. Its a rarity, but the critics are unanimous about this circus-style theatre. The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung even said, “Doctors should be allowed to prescibe visits to AFRIKA! AFRIKA! The show was sold out shortly after its world premiere on 14 December 2005, in Frankfurt. Some 128,000 people saw the show within a few weeks. In Hamburg, the tours second stop, the audience was thrilled. The German daily Die Welt said, “There are no worries here. The tent was shaking with cheers and applause by the third scene. André Hellers sensual discovery of Africa fascinates the audience with its tempo, energy and the zest of life that is oozing out of the tent. The troupe travelled through Africa for two years between Mali and Morocco, and Egypt and South Africa, to all the coasts and the heart of the continent. They even searched the African diaspora for more than 100 artists, eccentrics, dancers, singers and musicians who had that special something.This circus theatre offers sensous pleasure to children and adults, workers and intellectuals. Unbelievable acrobatics, intoxicating rhythms and costumes of exceptional beauty will entrance you for more than two hours. The pole artists from the troupe “Hakuna Matata, (Swahili for no worries here) will have you holding your breath as they elegantly swing back and forth on poles, nearly touching the top of the tent, while other dancers build a dizzingly high human pyramid. Body eccentrics bend and curve into proud snake-like formations: Feet become hands and hands become

feet in a rare spectacle known only to the African tradition of cult-like mastery of bodily movements. The so-called water man, Dickson Oppong, makes bowls dance on top of a metre-high fountain which is spewing from his mouth. Juggling ten balls at once is no problem for Abdurazak Reshid Adem. He takes his tarp and throws the balls in the air so fast that you would think they were remaining airborne the entire time. An Egyptian circus star swirls his swords through the air at top speeds, suspending them over the backs, shoulders and arms of the dancers. It is the combination of courage and the artists physical control that is so elegant.The two female artists in the segment, “Mama Africa, are diametrically opposed opposites. They lay on their backs and are moved around in circles at a rash tempo as they juggle heavy furniture with their feet as if it were an air-filled ball.

numerous television productions. He made his first big screen appearance in Carbon Copy (1981) with George Segal. Through the 1980s he worked in both movies and television and was chosen for the plum role of Dr. Chandler in NBC’s hit medical series “St. Elsewhere” (1982), a role that he would play for 6 years. In 1989 he won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of Tripp, the runaway slave in Edward Zwick’s powerful historical masterpiece Glory (1989). Through the 1990s Denzel co-starred in such big budget productions as The Pelican Brief (1993); Philadelphia (1993); Crimson Tide (1995); The Preacher’s Wife (1996); and Courage Under Fire (1996) - a role for which he was paid $10 million. He lives quietly in Los Angeles with his wife Pauletta and their 4 children. Cerebral and meticulous in his film work, he made his debut as a director in 2002 with Antwone Fisher (2002).
