JAW FAMILY BRINGS STEVE REID FOUNDATION TO BERLIN
When: Sunday, 13 Oct 2013, 3pm - 14 Oct, 4am // Where: Prince Charles, Kreuzberg, Berlin
The Steve Reid Foundation is headed to Berlin for a very special event organised by JAW Family to raise money for the foundation. Some funds also went towards rebuilding the Festsaal Kreuzberg club, which was destroyed in a fire earlier this summer. Festsaal Kreuzberg was the original venue booked for this event and had hosted parties in previous years with Theo Parrish and Floating Points, both trustees of the foundation.
The stellar line-up includes DJ sets from Gilles Peterson, Floating Points, Four Tet, and Alex Barck (Jazzanova), and live performances from Horace Tapscott Memorial Ensemble with Dwight Trible, as well as Astral Travel from Italy. Find out more about the event HERE
Money raised at the event will also go towards helping American jazz saxophonist Arthur Blythe who is struggling with Parkinson’s disease and recently underwent a serious kidney operation.

Location: Propped Up at Snugg / 74 Brixton Village/ 5th Avenue /SW9 8PS
Emanative aka Nick Woodmansey aka Captain Spacebeats aka superbad producer/ musician hit the decks at Propped Up specially for the Steve Reid Foundation.

THE EXPERIENCE OF CREATION WITH THEO PARRISH
Musicians helping musicians - that’s what it boils down to. Highly acclaimed Detroit music producer, DJ and Sound Signature label head, Theo Parrish, led a music production workshop for the first time in London to raise money for the Steve Reid Foundation to help musicians in crisis.
Theo and Tony Nwachukwu (CDR, Attica Blues) invited people to track suggestions for the sample palette. Those were then collected and some used at the ‘Experience of Creation’ workshop. Tweets contained: @SteveReidFNDN #SRF
Theo Parrish said: “People will have the rare opportunity to witness a process that is usually private and personal. We’ll be ‘sonic strip teasin’ from needle drop to a full-blown idea. Creating will take place in real time and people will be able to interact with me in a space of learning and creativity.”
