In association with Clash, at London’s Concrete…After the *resounding success* of last weeks inaugural ‘Select’ Session, featuring Fatherson and Blaenavon, there was a genuine air of excited anticipation last night at Shoreditch’s Concrete. Clash DJ’s began spinning tunes early, setting the scene for another packed event, with the best dressed of London’s East End in attendance.
Nottingham based duo *Shelter Point* who take the stage first are something of a revelation. Their intricate, intimate set of soulful electronica is emotional and uplifting. Creating a simultaneously dense yet light atmosphere with constantly changing textures is a hard thing to pull off but they do it effortlessly creating an appropriately relaxed mood for the remainder of the evening.
Headliner *Jamie Isaac* literally spellbinds the audience with his minimal piano driven soundscapes, showcasing tracks from EP’s ‘I Will Be Cold Soon’ and the recently released ‘Blue Break’. The jazz influenced, stripped down 'Mother’s Love Don’t Stretch' is a highlight and ‘She Dried’ is a swooning beauty. His ethereal sound transports and beguiles. A look around the room at the chilled out faces confirms this ‘Select’ Session to be another huge success.
