Theophilus London’s time – now? Or now? Maybe now?
Theophilus London was one of my big tips for 2009 UK ascension. That hasn’t really happened, but the Brooklyn-based singer/producer/remixer/DJ/deity has remained amazing popular in blogland, and put out the blinding This Charming Mixtape.
Maybe twen-ten is his year though? Two reasons for this déja-vu logic: one, he has a new single, Humdrum Town, out with free exclusive singles label Green Label Sound, and it’s as stupidly catchy and funky as normal; about as irresistible as a cute cat playing with tinsel. Talking of which. Secondly, old Theophilus is due in the town of his surname early next year – he’s playing the Gilles Peterson Worldwide Awards show, where the DJ showcases his favourites, at The Garage, along with Lee Fields & The Expressions and a host of others.
