Keeno ft. Vibre Strings

Keeno (LIVE) ft. Vibre Strings lands at Village Underground, London, on 28 November 2026 with a 100% live drum & bass set-up: piano on stage, a string quartet at his side, and liquid, orchestral textures driving the groove. Expect his catalog reimagined and new material tailored for a room built on bass, where rapid breakbeats meet the nuance and phrasing of chamber instruments.

Will Keen, aka Keeno, is a Bristol-based composer and producer known for weaving fast, rolling rhythms with cinematic harmony and long, melodic lines. From early singles to albums like Life Cycle, Futurist, All the Shimmering Things and I Live I Learn, he has shaped a sound that balances energy and clarity. On this live show, he takes the piano as a central voice, layering electronics and percussion around it to build drum & bass from the instrument up, with arrangements designed for ensemble playing rather than playback.

Vibre Strings is a collective of international players who bring the string quartet into electronic music without diluting either side. Used to amplified stages and club acoustics, they add weight, attack and warmth to Keeno’s arrangements, from tight ostinatos and counter-melodies to widescreen harmonies. Together, they turn orchestral drum & bass into a fully live experience, with dynamics and interplay that evolve in real time.
