Crowd Shines In London At Lancey Foux’s Roundhouse Show

Written and Captured By | Morris Shamah

Lancey Foux performed his tour finale at Camden’s Roundhouse coming off a 2-week US tour and completing a 5-date jaunt through the UK and Ireland. Lancey and his opening acts, DJ Semtex, Fimiguerrero, and Len, all performed fantastically, but the true wonder of the evening was the devoted crowd who were not there to waste any time.

DJ Semtex, fresh off his live interview with Killer Mike that weekend and a previously unannounced act, started things off with crowd pleaser after crowd pleaser, and the crowd responded right back, immediately opening into mosh pits and dancing along like this was the headlining act. Newcomer Fimiguerrero followed with a fast and furious set, dapper in his suit and tie and sunglasses, matching the crowd’s ferocity. Len, the final warm up act, actually got down of the stage and onto the front rail. It was a reward to the front row, who were enduring unrelenting crowd crushing for nearly two hours. Len’s status as an underground up-and-comer is bound to change based on the way he owned the 3,000 capacity Roundhouse stage.

Lancey Foux emerged to take his headline slot slightly late, not that anyone minded. Lancey’s devoted following was primed and ready, lighting up the room with their mobile phones for his entrance. Lancey bounded up and down the stage as he blasted his way through his impressive 39-song, 90-minute set, stopping only to shout out the “beautiful ladies” and introduce his four -that’s right, four – special guests.

Opener Len came out to play his own tune, “IJUST;” Camden’s own Bakar joined for “GHETTO YOUT” and the unreleased “Everytime;” 24-year old Unknown T was featured for “FREE SLIME / SEXY GIRLS;” and Rema, the Nigerian singer-songwriter, brought some Afrobeats with him for a four-song set of his own “Calm Down,” “Woman,” “Soundgasm,” and “Charm”.

The slew of guests slightly lost the crowd, who noticeably calmed down for the third quarter of the show. You can’t blame them – at this pointed they had exerted as much energy as any of the performers on stage. They were brought back to life, however, by main-set-ending cover of The Weeknd’s Out of Time and Lancey’s four song encore – complete with three false endings and, of course, pyrotechnics.

Roundhouse is a charity that exists to advance the creative lives of London’s young people. On Wednesday night, the young people showed up to prove exactly what that should look like in late-2023.
