Chris Coco delivers a masterfully chilled mix for Noise of Art to begin the celebrations of our 15th year. Chris has been involved in Noise of Art from the beginning, being the first guest to play Ben Osborne's Late Lounge residency at The National Theatre in 2002 and contributing to Noise of Art early projects supplying music and art pieces to the Tate as part of their online gallery offering. He was therefore present at all of our week long events that launched Noise of Art officially in April 2006 with a week of events that started with a weekender at the BFI Southbank (National Film Theatre as was), wound its way through several clubs across London and ended up the following weekend with a whole building takeover of the Tate - the first, and possibly only, time that has happened quite like that.

DJ Ben Osborne Interviewed BBC Radio Suffolk Woodbridge Festival 2020

As part of the Black Montmartre project, Ben Osborne of Noise of Art commissioned US born and Suffolk based poet and Black naval historian, H.E. Ross, to write a poem about Benjamin Franklyn’s enslaved 'servant' King. At the time all we knew was that Franklin brought King from the US to London, where he was able to slip into London’s large. free Black community and escape to Suffolk. Here he learned to read and write and joined the navy, as a free man. As a poet and naval historian, Ross was the obvious person to take on the challenge of researching and writing King's story. Thankfully he accepted the commission and wove a wonderful, multi-layered poem out of his in-depth discoveries about King’s life.

H E Ross, was born in San Francisco where he became a disciple of the beat poets and hung out with Lawrence Ferlinghetti, San Francisco’s Poet Laureate. He joined the marines and became an anti Vietnam war campaigner, was in Haight Ashbury at the birth of the hippie movement, campaigned for civil rights, started the Black Maritime History and Heritage movement and ran away to sea, eventually taking up moorings in Suffolk. Here he wrote and researched his poem.

Justin Robertson Exclusive Lockdown Mix Noise of Art August  2020

Phil Mison, aka Cantoma and Reverso 68, has sent over a suitably eclectic locked-on mix. Mison is best known for his contribution to the Balearic and ambient electronica genres, while his work with Pete Herbert is often dance floor dynamite.   He's rightly accredited as a "pioneer" and "goliath" of the Balearic scene. Both José Padilla and Danny Rampling helped him at the start of his career and he was one of the first DJs to play live at Ibiza's Café Del Mar.
