SUPERORGANIC: Ancient Sounds x Future Focus

About

SUPERORGANIC is a culture lab where hip hop, spoken word and jazz meet high-vibration sound. On Friday 22 May, SUPERORGANIC arrives at Rich Mix with Ancient Sounds x Future Focus — a one-night live experience celebrating sound, culture and creative evolution. Curated and hosted by Fusion, this special edition explores the dialogue between past and future through music. At its core, hip hop acts as a living bridge, bringing the Ney (one of the world’s oldest instruments) and the steel pan (one of the newest) into conversation, creating a powerful expression of heritage, innovation and connection. The night features Palestinian Nay master Faris Ishaq, award-winning UK steel pan virtuoso Marlon Hibbert and emerging UK rap artist Biro, alongside multidisciplinary artist and educator Apex Zero, poet and lyricist Ay Hearts, and poet and author Mz B Ryan, as well as the wider SUPERORGANIC family of boundary-pushing artists. Expect live band jams, ciphers, performances and spontaneous collaboration throughout. The event also marks the next chapter of SUPERORGANIC’s forthcoming Spirit Level EP. Taking place on National Pick Up An Instrument Day, this is more than a show — it’s an invitation to reconnect with music as a shared, living experience. **One night only. Be part of it.**
