RKDIA featuring Morten Schantz & Anton Eger
Last Show: Friday 16 th September 2022
PizzaExpress Jazz Club (Soho)
Morten Schantz (synth+vocals) and Anton Eger (drums) are well-known names on the jazz and fusion scenes around the world and have received world-wide critical acclaim with artists such as JazzKamikaze, Phronesis and Marius Neset as well as their own solo projects. With RKDIA they come together in a burst of colour and rhythm. Armed with technical brilliance and a penchant for the epic, the duo spin up forceful and hypnotic works that inject the free kinetic of jazz into synth-based electronica and cascading power pop. It’s a sound of its own. One minute it goes to the body in pulsating blows like house music, the next, it envelops you in warm- blooded synth-pop pathos. One plays keys like a god and the other plays drums like an animal.
