Night Engine: Momentum
The music of the city, of the dark, of the underground basements and behind locked doors clubs is back. Night Engine, four young men with a belief in the power of music to move feet as well as minds, have been in rehearsals since their formation in January 2012 with the express intent of rekindling the idea of the groove and are now ready to step forth into the (artificial) light.
At odds with the prevailing trend for soundscape and wafting ambience, Night Engine are, as the names suggests, about motorik rhythms, Nile Rodgers guitars, fluid basslines, music to make you sweat and smile and jump around like a thing possessed.
Night Engine will be using their funding to complete the recording of a single and album, and support a UK tour.
Night Engine told us:
“We’re hugely grateful to the Momentum Music Fund for their support. This funding should enable us to push on and record our first album and help us to continue touring in 2014. For emerging artists, financial backing can make a world of difference. We’re delighted to have this opportunity to build on the progress we’ve made to date.”
