Spend The Night celebrates 11 years with an open-close set from the legendary Theo Parrish. Theo Parrish is a true sonic architect, an artist whose work fuses the disco-based pulse of Chicago house with the mechanised soul of Detroit techno and the improvisational drive of jazz. In his words, “Jazz spawned house music, jazz spawned hip-hop, jazz spawned funk and they all reflect back into that.” His genre-melding, mind-melting sets have been revelatory experiences for those hearing them over the last 20 years. He continues to engage, challenge, and redefine the limits of what we call Black dance music, serving as an example of creative independence.

Two giants of soulful electronic music unite for a one-night-only, live reimagining of their seminal discographies. A tireless innovator of Black British music, Dego has spent over 30 years shaping the contours of dance and electronic culture. From his early roots in sound system culture and pirate radio to his genre-defining work with 4hero, and as founder of 2000BLACK and a key architect of London boogie, his output fuses jazz, soul, techno and futurist electronics with deep London roots. Having only performed publicly a handful of times, this is an exceptionally rare full-scale appearance from the 2000Black band. Theo Parrish is the pivotal Washington D.C.-born, Detroit-based DJ, producer and founder of Sound Signature, renowned for his raw, afro-futurist sound and uncompromising dedication to electronic music as a Black art form. A fixture of global underground culture and a member of supergroup 3 Chairs (alongside Moodymann, Rick Wilhite and Marcellus Pittman), Parrish brings his signature “sound sculpture” approach to the stage powered by the mighty Sound Signature Voices trio: Ideeyah Supreme, Khadeeja Grace and Monica Blaire. Curated by Errol and Alex Rita as part of TB10: Touching Bass’ 10th Anniversary World Tour, the night continues their concert series partnership with the Barbican Centre. As torchbearers of a new generation shaped by the principles and practices of Theo Parrish and Dego, they are uniquely positioned to realise this meeting. TB10 extends their ethos globally, partnering with artists, venues and like-minded musical entities for a year-long programme of club nights, concerts and intimate gatherings.
