Into The Void: Theo Croker featuring Johnathan Hulett

About

Into The Void is an immersive improvised duo featuring Theo Croker and Johnathan Hulett. Croker blends trumpet, electronics, DJ, samples, and live effects, while Hulett pilots his signature Spaceship —an expansive live performance setup of drums, synths, effects, and sound design, all performed in real time. Together, they dissolve the boundaries between acoustic and electronic music, creating a spontaneous dialogue where jazz, ambient music, beat culture, and cinematic textures converge. No two performances are ever the same. $20 Minimum Per Person Full Bar & Dinner Menu NO REFUNDS OR EXCHANGES. All seating is first come, first served.

Into The Void: Theo Croker featuring Johnathan Hulett Theo Croker GRAMMY-nominated trumpeter, composer, producer, and bandleader Theo Croker continues to expand the boundaries of modern jazz with his new album, Dream Manifest (Dom Recs / Fat Beats, June 13). Hailed by the LA Times as “a path to jazz greatness,” the project blends jazz, experimental hip-hop, and cosmic soul into a genre-defying sonic journey. Singles like the high-energy “We Still Wanna Dance” (produced by D’LEAU), the soulful “High Vibrations” (featuring Malaya), and the hypnotic “Crystal Waterfalls” showcase Croker’s dynamic vision — a sound both timeless and forward-facing (Wall Street Journal). NPR describes his vibe as “chill,” driven by a “clear musical approach and determination,” qualities that have made him a standout collaborator with Ari Lennox, Common, J. Cole, Jill Scott, and Wyclef Jean. Croker’s live performances are cinematic and immersive, guided by a producer’s mind and a jazz artist’s spontaneity. As DownBeat notes, he “layers music and lyrics with the deft touch of a hip-hop producer and the spontaneity of a jazz trumpeter.” His trumpet becomes both melody and texture within a rich production landscape performed live with his acoustic band. In 2025, he premiered Dream Manifest at London’s Barbican Theatre with designer Nicholas Daley. The Evening Standard called it “jazz, just not as we know it,” while Jazzwise praised its emotional depth and “total stage control.” Johnathan Hulett
