Mr AKA Amazing

"I really appreciate everyone being supportive of listening to my own music songs and sharing my experiences and seeing am very happy and grateful to them for helping me through this journey and buying my albums and making my own cds albums and making myself feel good again for myself for doing my own work and making myself perfect again and again." — Duane Warner

Duane Warner (known as Mr AKA Amazing) is an artist and vocal performer whose self-produced, ear-popping form of electronic spoken-word / lo-fi hip-hop has led to a surge of exciting gigs — including Supernormal Festival and Robyn's Rocket.

From Greenford in West London, Duane makes his music — both solo and collaboratively — at the Shepherds Bush arts project 54 The Gate.

Gate Loops

Gate Loops is a new performance by members of The Gate. Developed over a series of exploratory drop-in workshops, the piece uses spoken word, tape loops, contact mics, and a range of DIY instruments and studio detritus to build a playful, collective sound piece.

Sly & The Family Drone

'After our joyous collaboration at the ICA in 2019, Sly are excited to collaborate again with our friends from the Gate!
Expect semi-controlled chaos and a celebration of the joys of truly open, spontaneous and collaborative music-making. A beautiful spillage of interwoven rhythms, blistering arches of saxophone, half-heard voices, catapulting tape delays, amplifier feedback and more, steered into multidirectional frenzy or unified gallop by the nuanced interactions of improvisatory committee'
