London Brew - London Brew (2023) [Hi-Res]

London Brew is inspired by the legendary Miles Davis’ album, Bitches Brew. Recorded in December 2020 at The Church Studios in London, this three-day recording session brings together 12 London based artists, collectively known as “London Brew”: Benji B, Raven Bush, Theon Cross, Nubya Garcia, Tom Herbert, Shabaka Hutchings, Nikolaj Torp Larsen, Dave Okumu, Nick Ramm, Dan See, Tom Skinner and Martin Terefe. Produced by Martin Terefe and Executive Producer Bruce Lampcov.

"It was a pleasure to record with such a talented group of UK musicians and friends, and to work with the producers on this amazing project. It was made more special by the iconic space we were in (Paul Epworth’s Church Studios). We were all so excited to make music together again during that time of lockdown. This session was special in so many ways and we poured all of it into the music.” (Nubya Garcia)

"For me, that's what Bitches Brew is. It's a bunch of musicians making music because of the love of making music, as a social force and as a social construct. They are creating something that expresses unity and motion. That's what it is to be alive… you know, you have unity, you have motion, and you have vibration. You don't get any more alive than that. That's Bitches Brew." (Shabaka Hutchings)
