“Together we’ll make history.” Meet South East London art ring, Last Night in Paris<\/p>\n

\"Last<\/a><\/p>\n

\n
\n

Last Night In Paris like to keep you guessing. They call themselves an arts collective, but primarily they push piffed out, slow-jam hip hop with a bomb of mid nineties R&B crushed into the mix. If you probe to deeply into details of their real names or where they\u2019re all from – they quickly change
\nthe subject. As the clan flood into the basement of Red Bull Studios for their Wonderland shoot hood-clad and late, it\u2019s almost impossible to work out who to chat to first. I file it down to two of the twelve that fork out to pick through the Calvin and Cavalli draped across the space. Jordon Wi-Fi and Tauren Roye – the collective\u2019s co-founders – started reaching out to friends and contacts from their old flat in Sydenham, south east London in 2011. The aim? To start a local-to-SE collective that\u2019s aesthetically consistent across the board: from art direction to music videos, live performances, dress sense, sound, it\u2019s all carefully, lovingly executed and unfinished \u2019til it\u2019s done.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re all as important as each other,\u201d says Wi-Fi, whose marble-smooth vocals coloured the group\u2019s self-released
\nJune 2013 debut EP, Roses. \u201cWe\u2019ve got so many members and people contributing to one idea. Vocalists like KC, Taurean, Collard and Danny Seth and producers Fwdslxsh & MD$ crafting the soundscapes are on the music side of things, but generally we try and keep each medium as high as the other.\u201d Christian Newell – an SE-based graphic artist and painter who now looks after much of the band\u2019s art direction – was contacted on Facebook and asked to join the group. \u201cChristian\u2019s artwork needs to be as good as our music and our music needs as good as our visuals – it\u2019s a good example of how things work here,\u201d Wi-Fi says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The video for Roses track \u201cKeep You\u201d is an insight into their carefully executed image: the strictly black-bloc guys lollop around a loft bar with its windows boarded. Meanwhile a tender pours a tar-thick dark liquor into a tumbler of vodka, blacking out the glass as Roye slow-raps in a woody timbre. Stunning singer Katya Des-Etages, who joined the now-ex LNIP member Rainy Milo as one of the clan\u2019s few female members, pours it up with the rest from a tan leather bench. As we chat, the group are readying their debut mixtape (set for a May self-release), and are currently rallying attention from the states – it\u2019s big news. \u201cGOOD Music (Kanye West\u2019s label) hit us up and the head of the label flew out to meet us,\u201d he says. Roye remains typically nebulous about the hook-up, though. \u201cWe need to attack it at the right time. It needs to be right.\u201d<\/p>\n
