On The Floor! - Live at Broad Casting, London

IG Culture

Co-Op, London

IG is a legend far beyond the confines of the geographical or musical designation of West London: respected across continents for his self-taught and diverse musicality and heavy rhythms. He is also is one of the most notable producers responsible for the wealth of material that has emanated from West London under the tag broken beat. Starting out during the early '90s as one-half of the rap duo Dodge City, a while after that project dissolved, IG founded a short-lived label called One Drop Interouter, and then became involved with the People and Main Squeeze imprints. For his show at Broad Casting at London's Cargo, after opening the night with his Zen Badizm project, IG brought his fusion of funk, soul, jazz fusion and hip hop to the stage with a very special DJ set. Subsequent to an afternoon spent sampling, looping, re-working and Build an Ark's soundcheck, IG actually created exclusive tracks specifically for the Broad Casting audience - and for us lucky listeners, too. Alongside these fresher than fresh Build an Ark dubs, he was busy dropping the bombs and specials, as he has always been known to do. Accompanied by jazz dancers, this was a unique rounding off the evening in unique Broad Casting style. Listen and marvel.
