TIKIMAN Live w SCION : Live performance including songs from 'Showcase'
A rare chance to experience Tikiman and Scion perform songs from Rhythm & Sound's classic 'Showcase' album. Originally released on Basic Channel's Burial Mix label, these songs combine the warmth and humanity of Tikiman’s vocals with the sparse, layered atmospherics of Scion's seminal Berlin sound. 'Showcase' is firmly entrenched in electronic music history, and rightly regarded as one of the defining records of its time.
Available for Live sets for larger clubs and festivals throughout the year.
