Late Late Electronic with Alpha Cassiopeiae

Alpha Cassiopeiae is a French instrumental duo named after the brightest star in the Cassiopeia constellation. Their sound blends cinematic jazz and hypnotic grooves with retro-futuristic soundscapes inspired by 1970s science fiction and space exploration. Influenced by artists like GoGo Penguin and Mammal Hands, their music features organic textures and rhythmic tension. Their upcoming album, Shadows, is envisioned as a film without images, exploring themes of space trajectories and preparation. Presented as part of Ronnie Scott’s Late Late Show series, the evening features top jazz talent in a late-night session setting, often including influences of jazz-funk, soul, and R&B, accompanied by DJ sets before and after the live performance.
