The Jazz Market: Vels Trio, Adam Betts (Three Trapped Tigers), Sneaky (Fingathing)

Chaos Theory presents a serious display of talent from world-class musicians, who fuse traditional training with technology to create modern masterpieces.

--------------------
Vels Trio

After we saw these three young experimental jazz musicians playing with Mouse On The Keys and Luo for Small Pond, we knew we needed more.

Born out of collective obsession, emotion and improvisation, Vels Trio sculpt contagiously frenetic composition, channelling ingrained deep grooves, progressive soundscapes and contemporary hip hop productions.

A band to challenge the psyche of jazz lovers and curious, broadminded and savvy music lovers.

"The trio provide a pounding performance that can’t be ignored and is underplayed by their impressive groove progressions." - The Line Of Best Fit

--------------------
Adam Betts (Three Trapped Tigers)

The drummer behind phenomenal math rock pioneers, and Brian Eno's favourite experimentalists, Three Trapped Tigers.

Watch Adam flawlessly play intricate beats to perfection, while triggering his pre-programmed instruments live via Ableton.

His appropriately titled album 'Colossal Squid', recorded in one live take, is out at the end of November, with a single out in October.

"...takes small elements of his main project and amps it up to Aphex Twin proportions." - Punktastic

Sneaky (Fingathing)

An extraordinary upright bassist who was classically trained on double bass and cello, before getting involved with Manchester's club scene alongside musicians like James Ford of Simian Mobile Disco, Mr Scruff, Andy Votel and Mark Rae.

Moving in with DJ, turntablist and beatsmith Peter Parker, various jam sessions led to them forming the unlikely band Fingathing, playing with beats, basslines and electronics to make ultimately danceable music.

After 7 years of worldwide touring, 3 albums, several singles and EPs released through Grand Central and Ninja Tune records, Sneaky moved to Berlin in 2007 to further his musical inspiration and has been making his solo mark ever since…

'Feel Like A King…Pluck A String' was released in 2009 on the Big Chill Label and follow up 'Feel Like A Remix' in 2010.

Whether you're after impeccable playing or a headnoddingly groovy beat, Sneaky and accompanying drummer Gianpaolo Camplese will deliver.

"...riotous, irresistible and wholly original." - The Guardian
