Celebrating Black Music

Elizabeth Alker celebrates black artists and composers whose music defies classification, including tracks by Dean Blunt, Afrodeutsche, Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe and Ain Bailey.

Elizabeth Alker celebrates black artists and composers whose music cannot easily be categorised, including tracks by Childish Gambino AKA Donald Glover, Afrodeutsche, Dean Blunt, Lady Vendredi, Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe and sound artist and DJ Ain Bailey.

Unclassified is a late-night listening party, a place for curious ears to congregate, disconnect from all other devices and get lost in some soothing, serene and strange new sounds. It's a home for composers whose work cannot easily be categorised, artists who are as comfortable in a grimy basement venue as they are in a prestigious concert hall.
