As part of the Ronin UK tour, James Lavelle’s groundbreaking music project UNKLE will be visiting Liverpool! Renowned for his varied DJ sets, Lavelle, a hugely powerful tastemaker and musical curator, presents his amazing UNKLE project to the Arts Club on Seel Street on October 17, 2024.
Lavelle is an electronic music virtuoso who has worked with the likes of Thom Yorke, Michael Kiwanuka, Mark Lanegan, Massive Attack, Brian Eno, Mike D, Ian Brown, and Josh Homme, as well as reworked tracks for artists as diverse as Beck, London Grammar, Radiohead, and Wu-Tang Clan. Coming to Liverpool with UNKLE for the first time in years, electronic music connoisseurs are in for a treat.
Lauded by NME, BBC 6 Music, and countless critics, James Lavelle has topped charts and won awards for his boundary-pushing project, UNKLE. On the night, you can expect tracks from the latest Ronin masterpiece and, as ever, a multisensory experience combining music with art and lots of visuals.
March 2021 saw UNKLE release the first in a two-part mixtape project, Ronin I, which featured the singles ‘Do Yourself Some Good’ and ‘If We Don’t Make It’, both A Listed at BBC Radio 6Music. The second part of the project, Ronin II will be released this summer and the UK tour promises fans a truly unique concert experience featuring recent recordings, remixes, and reinterpretations.
Arts Club’s David Roman said:
“We’re thrilled to be bringing such an iconic electronic music act to Liverpool as part of the very special UK tour. Lavelle is pretty much electronic music royalty and the roster of musical collaborations he’s had through UNKLE is eye-watering. It’s going to be an incredible showcase and one of the gigs of the year at our venue!”
