Karl talks to The Social Gathering

Karl Hyde has written a series of pieces for The Social Gathering – the online reincarnation of The Social in central London, a bar run by the people behind Heavenly Recordings and longtime Underworld collaborator Robin Turner.

Each of these pieces is a mind map of a walk taken from the front door to wherever it ends up; each one drifts through personal experience then finds its way back home through the fields of Essex. One of Karl’s walks features in a new collection of writing from the nine months (so far) of The Social Gathering that also features exclusive writing from DBC Pierre, Vashti Bunyan, Lias Saoudi (Fat White Family), Wendy Erskine, Jon Savage and many, many more.

The Social Gathering Volume One is available here if you fancy supporting The Social – watch the site for more pieces from Karl in the coming months.
