Speakers Corner Quartet are a collective of musicians – made up of Raven Bush, Peter Bennie, Kwake Bass, and Biscuit – who place collaboration and community at the centre of their music. They began playing together as the house band for the Brixton-based spoken word and hip hop session Speakers Corner in 2006, and across their 15-plus years playing together have proven to be a bedrock of the South London music scene. For their debut album, Further Out Than The Edge (2023), they brought in an assembly of trusted peers and musicians as collaborators, including Sampha, Kelsey Lu, Leá Sen, Joe Armon-Jones, Kae Tempest, and Rewire alumni Tirzah, Coby Sey, and Mica Levi. Speakers Corner Quartet’s special, reverberating brand of experimental, lo-fi jazz and hip hop sounds like musicians at the peak of their game, but also like a group of friends coming together to enjoy music in a very pure sense: listeners can really hear the deep trust that the group has cultivated and honed over years of working together and sharing joyously in the spirit of communality.
