ATMOSFEAR

"Motivation" 40th anniversary concert

+ special guests: TBC

Atmosfear emerged from the late 1970's 'Brit-Funk' scene along with Light of the World, Incognito, Freeez, Lynx, Hi-Tension, Central Line and more. Their timeless debut single 'Dancing in Outer Space' was played regularly at New York's finest club - Paradise Garage - and is now considered a dance floor classic. It received a memorable re-mix by Dimitri from Paris in the late 90's.

The 1980 follow up single "Motivation" b/w "Extract" helped the band secure a major record deal with MCA Records where they released their debut album "En Trance" in 1982. "Motivation" is also considered a massive dancefloor tune and was covered by The Bucketheads a.k.a. Kenny Dope in 1995 under the title "I Wanna Know".

Co-founder and original bass player Lester Batchelor, still leads the band and they will recreate Atmosfear's own brand of experimental intergalactic British Jazz-Funk live in concert tonight.

Description

The most celebrated live music venue in Europe and one of the most famous in the world. Our longevity is due to an open minded music policy which has seen many different musical styles performed at this venue over It's long history.

Live music began at 100 Oxford Street on 24th October 1942. It was first played at Mack's restaurant (as it was then known) when British jazz drummer Victor Feldman's father hired the venue on a regular Sunday night to showcase the talents of his jazz loving sons and their band. The band consisted of Victor and his two brothers Robert on clarinet and Monty on accordion. They were joined by legendary British saxophonist Jimmy Skidmore for the opening night.
