Saturday 7 December, London-based record label Blank Mind join us at Inverted Audio Record Store in Peckham (6-9 PM) for an all out DJ assault with label boss Sam Purcell and Ottomani Parker group member Hayato Takahashi aka H.CHILD.
Sam Purcell had been circling the peripherals of the underground music scene long before launching Blank Mind, the UK-based record label, in 2011. An early urge to create music settled quickly in his youth, eventually morphing into roles for the persistent interest in chronicling sound. A few adventures in this order stand out as wisely articulated audio narratives – exposing a quality of his innate nature and intellect as evidently visible in Blank Mind’s discography.
Each Blank Mind release hits with impeccable precision, never missing a nerve. Recent highlights include “Suitcase in the Water“ (Best Album of 2023), the thriller spoken word D&B record produced with Jacob Dwyer will have your guts in a twist.
Their most recent compilation “Lost Paradise: Blissed Out Breakbeat Hardcore 1991-94” uncovers classic UK Hardcore, including rare and legendary cuts from Skanna, DJ Mayhem and Xray Xperiments (aka B12) 2×12″ – all tracks remastered by Beau Thomas.
Cementing our final in-store party of 2024, we cannot wait to hear what Sam and Hayato Takahashi bring to the store. Be sure to join us on this momentous occasion!! For a taster listen to Sam Purcell’s contribution to the IA MIX Series, with a crisp mix fuelling an hour’s worth of listening pleasure.
