- Mala, King Sunshine, Peven Everett and Masashi Nakazawa will join our mysterious headliner at Le Poisson Rouge in August.
- RA X will roll into New York on August 20th. For the US stop on our ten-part series, we take over Le Poisson Rouge, a live concert venue in Manhattan. With the live dynamic firmly in mind, the X has curated a line-up that combines Montreal Jazz Festival stars King Sunshine, a nine-piece ensemble that's worked with everyone from Robert Owens to DJ Sneak, with master of all things soulful deep house Peven Everett, plus Mala, half of pioneering dubstep duo Digital Mystikz, and the funk, disco and jazz stylings of Japan's DJ Masashi Nakazawa. The night will close with a performance by the X, an esteemed headliner whose identity will remain unknown until he or she takes the stage. The poster for this one is done by Zeke Clough, the man behind Shackleton's vivid and occasionally disturbing sleeve designs. As usual, this one's all organs, bones and things getting impaled. A limited number of screen prints are available exclusively through the event page. Tickets to RA X in New York are available now on RA.
