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.

This evening, one of Freud’s most identifiable sitters will provide inspiration for a set exploring decadence and freedom. This homage to the creativity of Freud’s muse Leigh Bowery will encapsulate chic sounds curated from a set of 80’s ballroom disco classics. Next week, the series will conclude with an evening inspired by Freud’s passion for the music of Johnny Cash.

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.
