Days And Nights At The Takeaway was a monthly digital singles club curated by Polar Bear’s Sebastian Rochford, which ran throughout 2012. Each single took the form of a two track digital bundle, released on the last Friday of the month.
The tracks were all recorded in Seb’s studio in a former takeaway in London (hence the project name).
The first release in the series was a collaboration with LA poet & singer Gina Loring and British Indian vocalist Ranjana Ghatak, entitled ‘Love A Sacred Path’. The track comes complete with a superb remix by Keysound/Hyperdub mainstays LV. It’s perhaps not what you’d expect from him, but Rochford’s long immersion in the worlds of hip-hop and dubstep has been increasingly apparent since the release of the Common Ground collaboration with UK MC Jyager in 2010, and his production work with rapper Mikill Pane.
“Lots of people have been coming to this place to make music,” says Seb of the origins of the Takeaway concept, “And I wanted to expand on that and find a way of sharing it, I love playing and making music with different people so doing this feels very natural to me.”
