Guest DJ

DJ Edward Otchere

An introduction to the crepuscular sounds of Soho, this season DJ Edward Otchere is creating a sonic backdrop to Lucian Freud’s nightlife.

The series concludes tonight with an evening inspired by the music of Johnny Cash. Jools Holland, musician, presenter and friend of Freud said in a recent article in Vogue magazine, ‘You could never predict Lucian’s opinion on anything, ever. He was passionate about Johnny Cash, which rather surprised me.’

The DJ

Every fortnight, our resident DJ Edward Otchere creates a carefully crafted themed soundscape. He plays a strictly vinyl set, drawing from his huge collection. He’s passionate about sourcing pressings from all over the world, to find the best examples of the rich sonic qualities of analogue recordings.

Otchere has been skillfully distilling 20th century musical masterpieces since his first residency at the BBC’s Bush House Club in the early noughties to his more recent performances at Brunswick House Cafe. He has provided soundscapes for audacious venues such as SupperClub, Chinawhite and currently transmits a weekly show on Hoxton.fm.
