New Year’s Eve: Noise of Art’s Psychedelic Curiosity
by noise of art on Dec.04, 2011, under Events
Noise of Art’s New Year’s Eve event at Sketch, with Ben Osborne, Luca Santucci, The People Pile, Overlap, Your Mum, Walkabout/ Prick Image, Kevin Pearce, Peter Hepworth, Fred’s House, The Medicine Shop, Louise Golbey and special guests to be announced.
New Year’s Eve at Sketch, London
31st December 2011 – 1st December 2012
Sketch, 9 Conduit Street, London, W1S 2XG
The Noise of Art entry list for this event is now full. If we’re not seeing you on the 31st we hope to see you very soon at our next events in 2012.
Noise of Art returns to the stunning party space at Sketch for NYE 2012, with a new immersive club event featuring music, art, film, performance, dance, surround projections and occurrences of curiosity.
On the 45th anniversary of the UK’s Psychedelic movement, Noise of Art’s new show is inspired by the 19th Century imagery of the late Sixties (think Blake’s iconic cover art and inner sleeve cut out moustaches). The immersive club event imagines that Sergeant Pepper, Pink Floyd and The Avengers were the result of two universes colliding in 1967; throwing people from a parallel steam punk world into the Carnaby Street scene of swinging London (which happens to be two minutes walk from the venue).
The resulting psychedelic Victoriana features DJs, coal-fired flower power, contemporary dancers, and folk singers, curiosities of nature and, visiting the capital for the very first time, the drawing room disco that is a Benefit For Mr Kite, and 360 degree magic lanterns of psychedelic imagery.
Musical acts will begin with Sixties folktronics, and rise to steam-powered cosmic house, psyched-out-disco and coal-fired techno.

Continuing Noise of Art’s cross London, pan-European celebration, which sees sister events taking place in Paris and Rome, Noise of Art steps into 93 Feet East for a Rome vs Paris, Prague and London four way dance off.
Signed to hot Parisian label Record Makers (home to acts as diverse as Sebastian Tellier and Kavinksy and originally set up by Air), Acid Washed are a live electronic duo who squelch a myriad influences into their post acid techno sound. Comprised of Richard d’Alpert and Andrew Claristidge, the duo takes Chicago house and Detroit techno, add some Giorgio Moroder and end-up somewhere in a late Sixties cyber world.
Italian partners in crime Severino and Nico de Ceglia, have made names for themselves on the London scene through their associations with Horse Meat Disco and Radio 1’s Essential Selection. Hyena Stomp, their joint Italo project, kicks out the finest house sets this side of Nineties Rimini.
New London act Dec Shoes have spent the summer playing everything from festival main stages to low ceilinged street bars this summer with their live vocal and vinyl sets. Their sound combines, house, techno and bass.
Hentai Corporation are what Led Zeppelin would have sounded like if they’d formed after drum n bass had been invented – and grown-up listening to traditional Czech music and Napalm Death. Prog rock done Prague style.
Holding it all together, Noise of Art founder and resident DJ Ben Osborne will be heading-up the mix down in the Pink Room with homeboy Rupert The Brewer kicking things off with a fine selection of his home made funky jams.
Reading and Leeds Festival favourites, Beef Warehouse, will be bring their stadium filling sound to the Red Rooms smaller ambience, mashing through the genres in their inimitable DJ style, while Cosmic Onion Field will be providing their warped brand of psycho-delic atmospherics
Visuals, dance and performance come courtesy of the awesomely creative project The People Pile, and the stunning projections of Your Mum and Overlap.
