21rpm
St Giles-in-the-Fields, London WC2
4/5
CONCEIVED as a get-together for collaborators with eccentric Japanese child star and musician Coppe, and to celebrate the 20th anniversary of her cult record label Mango and Sweetrice, this all-day electronic music festival is now in its second year.
Like 2015’s 20rpm, 21rpm is more or less an art installation, with each artist, DJ and band encompassed by a box onto which computer-generated projections are displayed, creating a visual and aural multimedia feast.
