For theRewire Sunday, we zero in on performing artists who seamlessly merge seemingly distinct musical territories into their own hybrid concoctions, stirring in ample doses of free-wheeling improvisation for good measure. Ranging from Jeff Mills & Tony Allen’s unity of expansive techno textures and pulsating live percussion to Jameszoo’s kaleidoscopic synthesis of avant-garde jazz, electronica and beat oddities, Rewire Sunday offers a melting pot of today’s most forward-thinking electronic, jazz and improvised sounds.

Jeff Mills & Tony Allen

A rare collaboration between two musical masters, the coming together of Detroit techno pioneer Jeff Mills and legendary afrobeat drummer Tony Allen promises a steamy mixture of Jeff Mills’ distinct Roland TR-909 explorations and Tony Allen’s revolutionary Nigerian jazz-pulses.
