Gear up for the ride of your life. In the seventh instalment of the Boiler Room Make Sessions, Red Stripe will team up with bespoke bicycle company – 14 Bike Co. on 25th February for a one-off night at the world’s leading underground music show, Boiler Room.
Whilst DJs Steve Braiden, XXXY, Midland and Paul Woolford take to the decks back to back, 14 Bike Co. will build five bespoke Red Stripe inspired fixed-gear bikes – live. The build echoes the authentic DIY ethos of both Red Stripe and Boiler Room, with 14 Bike Co. adding a creative and urban element to the mix. As the decks spin, the components: handlebars, wheels, saddle and frame will all be assembled in situ to create the priceless fixies.
Heading up the night is underground music pioneer Steve Braiden, who will bring an amalgam of experimental electro, harmonious house and the most developed and deep techno. Joining Steve Braiden back to back is bass heavy electro and garage junkie XXXY. Following Steve Braiden and XXXY are cutting edge remix DJs Midland and Paul Woolford, playing b2b and bringing aneclectic mix of electro, house, experimental techno, 2-step and dub.
14 Bike Co. founder John Wainwright said: “It has been fantastic working on the Red Stripe and Boiler Room Make Sessions, who like us, have creativity at their core. The bikes will be truly original, custom made and Red Stripe inspired.”
Blaise Belville, founder of Boiler Room, said: ‘Having 14 Bike Co. as a partner at this event seemed totally natural. It will be amazing to watch each bike come to life to the sounds of four incredible DJs. All of which will be shared with the fantastic Boiler room audience.’
