Dean Blunt brings Babyfather project to Manchester this month

Returning to the Soup Kitchen basement for the first time since 2014, Dean Blunt rolls his Babyfather project into Manchester on Friday 28th October. 

Blunt is a conceptual artist with a musical footprint that extends to his part in duo Hype Williams with Inga Copeland to a three record solo stint and beyond. He is widely associated with Venezuelan producer Arca. 

His latest work under the moniker Babyfather exercises a political narrative locked on the marginalised people of Britain. Experimenting with dub rhythms and sparse soundscapes, the hyperdub figure - as expected - passes under the radar of genre conformity.

Well-mapped sampling aids a mind-provoking landscape of sonic textures and lyrical artistry on debut cut BBF hosted by DJ Escrow (and Gassman D). Both identities are believed to be alter-egos, which throws up question marks over personnel for the much anticipated arrival of the project.
