Red Bull Music Academy Liverpool: what to see 

The Red Bull Music Academy UK tour lands in Liverpool (6-9 Oct) for the first time this year, and there's a host of great nights to get along to.

Things kick off on 6 Oct with an evening of digital soul at Sefton Park Palm House led by SG Lewis, a former uni student in Liverpool who invites along one of his personal influences, Mercury Prize nominee Jamie Woon. They're joined by Merseyside producer Suedebrown in a celebration of the city's future-soul talents.

The night continues with Credit to the Edit, a party at Buyers Club led by Greg Wilson. 

Hip hop goes under the microscope on Fri 7 Oct, as Constellations hosts a discussion between Krept & Konan, who'll be chatting about staying true to their roots while breaking into the mainstream. Afterwards, they pop down the road to Camp and Furnace for a live showcase of some of the most vital sounds in UK hip hop right now, joined by acts including Rejjie Snow and Loyle Carner.

Finishing off Friday, Masters at Work legend Kenny Dope takes things into the night at The Merchant, exploring the connections between hip hop and house and supported by the always-impressive Kidkanevil.

Sat 8 Oct welcomes the one and only Moodymann to Invisible Wind Factory. He'll be performing inside the Club Cosmos installation, an immersive musical environment created using laser modules and mirrored kinetic sculptures.

Finally, the weekend comes to a close on Sun 9 Oct with Rhymeantics, a celebration of the art of MCs and poets curated by D Double E of Newham Generals.

And if you can't get along to RBMA Liverpool, fear not: the tour heads to Leeds 27-30 Oct. Check out our preview of a special exhibition documenting the history and energy of grime, which will form part of the Leeds programme, and find full listings with our What's On guide.
