It doesn’t get much more overindulgent than on orgy, but that’s exactly what Rapster, the label started five years ago by !K7, is going for in their contribution to the family’s 21st birthday celebrations. The different editions of its Kings Of compilation series-which has featured everyone from Roy Ayers and Giles Peterson to Carl Craig and Masters At Work-have long been joined by the thread of overindulgence, and to celebrate both the project and the label, an art exhibition will take place at London’s Phonica records, where Michael Joseph’s photographic contributions to the series will be on display. What are they photographs of? You guessed it. Orgies.

Mr Thing and Norman Jay will join forces with BBE boss Peter Adarkwah to host the exhibition’s launch party, which takes place on Tuesday, November 14.

The Kings Of Photo Exhibition runs Tuesday, November 14 – Tuesday, November 28, 2006.
