Some cities stand out from the crowd. The have their own unique flavour and even their own sound.

These cities are inseparable from the music produced within and they are famed the world over for that sound.

Now fashion brand AllSaints are trying to encapsulate the unique musical personality of some of the world’s most influential cities. Each installment of AllSaints New Music Cities brought to you in partnership with Dazed Vision will bring together some of that cities music heroes to create some unmissable music moments. We’ll get to witness such luminaries as punk godfather Richard Hell in his home city of New York and José González in Gothenburg. It’s also about celebrating the new emerging talent that are stamping their mark on these evolving cities taking them forward.

“The whole premise of the New Music Cities series is to scratch the surface of the global music scene. By searching beyond the most-documented artists, we’ve been able to discover some incredibly exciting and daring musicians, operating for the love of connecting with their community. It’s this independent spirit and attitude, so prevalent in south London, that we feel fits both AllSaints and Dazed’s outlook on life in the city.” Will Beedel Creative Director, AllSaints.

The London episode digs deep into south London’s world renowned music scene with local hip hop maestro and true innovator Roots Manuva who acts as narrator.
