"Started by hugely influential DJ and producer Ralph Lawson and drummer Danny Ward (who’s played with the likes of AIM, Filia Brazilia and The Pharcyde), 2020Soundsystem are a live band who mix Lawson’s expertly crafted electronics with live drums, bass, keys and vocals. The result is a heady combination of numerous house and techno flavours melded with tight, live funk and precision percussion.
The Studio B performance is a mix of the band’s own material, taken from previous releases and upcoming second album ‘Falling’, and live interpretations of choice tracks from other artists, including 20:20 Vision labelmates such as Bobby Peru and The Youngsters.
In their live sets, the band manage to find the perfect mix of the well-crafted track and the experimental jam, with each track flowing seamlessly into the next, adding to the sense that what you’re hearing is very much a live experience from musicians at the top of their game. As a result of this, 2020Soundsystem have already established themselves as a formidable live act. Listening to their Studio B performance, it’s not hard to see why.
All in all, a rather special and marvellous treat from a unique and talented outfit, exclusive for all you good Clash people to hear. Go and enjoy."
