Deeper Cuts: ATFK + Clara Serra López

Deeper Cuts celebrates jazz-ish music - artists giving it a twist, fusing it with other gloriousness and pushing things forward. It’s a bi-monthly live night at the warm, welcoming Paper Dress Vintage in Hackney.

Our first show of 2026 will be on Thursday 5th Feb with the exceptional ATFK coming all the way down from Newcastle, to bring you a hefty dose of jazz-meets-folk-meets-electronics. Just the kind of disrespect for genre boundaries we're all about!

They will be joined by the phenomenal Clara Serra López - a singer, producer and keys player, who pulls threads of her Catalan, Spanish and Cuban heritage through a jazzy maze of synths and drum machines.

Start your year in music off right! >>

ATFK

Accordion and drums like you've never heard before.

Meet the untethered brainchild of Amy Thatcher and Francesca Knowles, who defy the preconceptions of what their instruments can do. Subverting tradition and going to strange new places - ATFK's sound is both raucous energy and sympathetic intensity, blending percussion, synths, keys and vocals for an unapologetic brew of colourful composition. Melodic and glitchy, heavy and light - you’re in for a wild ride.

Their audacious sophomore album, Repeat For Joy, is out now - support from 6 Music and beyond. Prepare to be veered off the tracks.

CLARA SERRA LÓPEZ

Clara Serra López is a vocalist, composer, songwriter and keys player based in London from Spanish, Catalan and Cuban heritage.

Clara has crafted her own sound combining her cultural heritage with deep influences in jazz, classical, eastern-Mediterranean and electronic music. She blends jazz language with Spanish lyrics and harmony, English lyrics with Mediterranean ornamentation and delves into the use of Latin and Iberian rhythms whilst exploring electronic soundscapes.

Clara will present an intimate solo performance using keys, synths, vocal effects and drum machines, performing music from her debut EP Lengua Materna (Part 1) alongside new material from her upcoming release, both released on Peter Gabriel’s Real World X label. Support from Jamz Supernova and Music Planet.
