Arsha Our presents Basic House

Basic House live. 11th of July 2014. Buskett Roadhouse.


Basic House is the solo project of Opal Tapes’ founder, Stephen Bishop. 

Opal Tapes was voted label of the month in a large number of music platforms including The Wire, Resident Advisor, Self-Titled, Red Bull Music Academy and FACT.

Described as ‘a mainstay of England's North-East DIY scene’, Basic House is a blend of hazy house, techno, esoteric, ambient and drone musics. His highly acclaimed debut album was released by Digitalis Records and he since followed it up with several other equally acclaimed releases.

What few know about Bishop is that he wrote his thesis on the acoustic properties of the Hypogeum in Hal Saflieni. His set will, in fact, reference these same acoustic properties to present something a bit different to his other sets.

Bishop will also give a talk/Q&A session about the acoustic properties of the Hypogeum and will also field questions about Opal Tapes. 

More details (including local artists) will follow soon. 

This event is part-funded by the British Council.
