BBC Radio 1 DJ and broadcaster Annie Mac has just announced a brand new event series titled AMP Collected to be held in residency at London’s The ICA. The AMP Collected series will showcase the eclectic side to Annie’s musical taste.
Through the AMP Collected series, Annie will showcase the artists she’s been championing on her 10pm - 1am Sunday night ‘Musical Hot Water Bottle’ show for BBC Radio 1. Just like her long-standing, global AMP event series, AMP Collected will feature the freshest new artists on Annie’s radar, in a totally live capacity.
To launch the brand new AMP Collected series on the 26th November, Annie has announced the London debut of one of her big tips for 2015; Lapsley. The 18 year old from Liverpool who has just been signed to XL, boasts intelligent production work and enchanting vocals to match across all of her own music to date. Lapsley’s breakthrough single ‘Falling Short’ has been championed by Annie Mac, so much so that Annie has picked the record to feature exclusively on her AMP 2014 compilation. Joining Lapsley on the bill is PMR’s Dornik who made an entrance earlier this year with his rich R&B, soul-pop record ‘Something About You’.
The second AMP Collected instalment takes place on the 10th of December with the London hip-hop triumvirate; Hawk House and Sydney-based singer and producer George Maple, who has just played Fader Fort and Rough Trade events in NYC, collaborated with Flume, and will shortly release her hotly anticipated debut EP 'Vacant Space'.
The exciting new live platform, AMP Collected will take place once a month at London's legendary establishment of The Institution of Contemporary Arts with surprise special guests expected to drop by to perform too.
