Thirty years after a meeting at a Greenwich party, Morcheeba remain the defining partnership of British trip-hop, bringing their eleventh album to Troxy’s Art Deco hall.
Morcheeba, the British trip-hop band behind the double-platinum album Big Calm, bring their eleventh album, Escape The Chaos, to Troxy in Limehouse on Friday 13 November 2026.
The band began at a party in Greenwich in the mid-1990s. There the brothers Paul and Ross Godfrey, newly arrived in London from the Kent village of Saltwood, met the singer Skye Edwards.
Paul’s hip-hop production, Ross’s psychedelic guitar and Edwards’s soul-trained voice came together on Who Can You Trust? in April 1996. Big Calm followed in 1998, closer to Californian folk, and “The Sea” became a radio staple.
Edwards left in 2003 and returned in 2010. Since Paul Godfrey stepped back in 2014, the band has been the partnership of Edwards and Ross Godfrey, and they have sold more than ten million records.
In London they headlined Meltdown at the invitation of Chaka Khan. Escape The Chaos, released in May 2025, sets electronic texture and organic grooves beneath Edwards’s voice.
George Coles designed Troxy as a cinema, opened in September 1933, and it later served as the London Opera Centre. Its Grade II-listed Art Deco auditorium was restored for music in 2013.
