AGVL is an event that happens every 2nd Friday of
every month. It’s one of the most sort after gig in the hood, in Soweto. LBC loves
AGVL simply for the music. Upon entering, you’re bombarded by the sounds of
Break Beats, Funk, Soul, Lounge, Lo-fi, Dub-Step & Deep House!
AGVL is curated by intelligent guys namely; Trev the
Japanese, SkinDeep & KSK. Who also, rightfully so, are the resident Dj’s .
Trevor is known for 1break beats roots, while Skindeep deeps you in funk &
lounge. KSK downs you with freshly squeezed Lo-fi, dub & deep house. AGVL
is special to us, in a way that makes you think about the relevance of music we
listen today. Their sounds & the dj’s that play there are delectably Avant
Garde. It has featured both local & international dj’s. Only a couple of
months ago they started featuring live acts in the midst of the music.
International highlights that we’ve had the pleasure of dancing to are Mark de
Clive Lowe & Dego. These 2 are the masters of alternative & perfect
Avant Garde experiences.
AGVL was 1 of the 2 brands LBC decided to collaborate with, for
their SFW Showcase. The idea was that LBC wanted to find common ground with
local brands & artist. To find a way to eliminate completion, wake the
spirits of working together to reach our goals & erase that thin line of
segregation. Music is our common ground & through music we’ll open a new
way of expression & unity. Part of the collabo was for people to experience
AGVL in a different way.
Mike Check chatted with both, the Japan & KSK during the
last AGVL in May. He wanted to do something simple & yet very Avant Garde.
He saw 1 of the ladies Tees with the AGVL print on it & it all connected,
LBC was in sync with AGVL. Took the white Tee, removed the sleeves &
replaced them with vintage, cream white chiffon sleeves. Suddenly we had an
Avant Garde Tee that completed a very sexy look, coupled with a high waist
denim skirt by LBC. For Mike Check & LBC 1 of our best work ever. The
collabo was an amazing musical success. LBC will be featured in the next AGVL
on the 11th of July 2014. Come through & be part of the new
experience in an event. We also uploaded a Mix by Mike Check for AGVL, Enjoy;
Holler next time when you’re in Soweto on a 2nd
Friday Mike Check & the Japanese might just hook you up with a couple of
shot of Tequila.
