Art of sound: Anton Spice and Max Lutos
Friday 20 October 2017 8 - 11pm
The Academicians’ Room, The Keeper’s House, Royal Academy of Arts
Free, booking required.
Max Lutos and Anton Spice will be looking back through a section of 'The Vinyl Factory' favourites, along with picks from their own archives.
Anton Spice is editor-in-chief of The Vinyl Factory. He joined in 2013 to help set up the online magazine, which has since grown to become the biggest vinyl-focused publication on the internet and a touchstone for record culture around the world. As a journalist, he has written extensively about independent media music and interviewed artists from across the world, from Tony Allen to Thundercat. Anton is also one half of London-based dance party Dislocated Disco and hosts regular shows on Balamii and Soho Radio.
Max Lutos leads a life in music curation as creative director for Open Ear Music. He has a passion for Brazilian, soul and jazz and can be found running nights for London Jazz Festival and selecting the soundtrack for many of London’s venues.
The evening's selection will reflect the breadth of music covered in The Vinyl Factory and explore the stories behind some of the records that have helped shape it.
This event is open to members of the Academicians’ Room, Friends of the Royal Academy and the general public. RSVP required.

Art of sound
A brand new series of Friday night DJ sessions taking place in the Academicians’ Room this autumn.
We’ve asked some of our favourite London-based DJs to dive into their archives for a series of unique club nights in the heart of the Royal Academy. Throughout autumn, DJs from a wide range of musical backgrounds will take over the Academicians’ Room, sharing their personal favourites as well as the hidden gems they’ve discovered on their musical journeys.
The Academicians’ Room
An exclusive private members club for artists and art lovers.
The Academicians’ Room is a place to feel at home; a place to come together in a club setting designed exclusively for members. The club room in the Keeper’s House began life in 1883 as an architectural gallery, before becoming the favourite haunt of the Academy’s artists as a private members club. The room has now entered a new phase in its rich history, with a fresh look by the renowned Martin Brudnizki Design Studio. Vintage furnishings now create the intimate, bohemian ambience of an artist’s drawing room. It’s a vibrant and relaxed haven in the heart of Mayfair, join as a member and enjoy the company of this special artistic community.
