⏳ Countdown to this Friday’s Grow Live.

We’re getting ready to welcome to Grow for the London debut of A Brief Utopia, a project that sits at a powerful intersection of live dance music, psychedelic electronics and global rhythms. Fresh from its recent release on Earthly Measures, the live show brings together drums, tuned percussion and immersive synth work in a performance built for movement, connection and complete release.

Setting the tone from 20:00, opens with a deep, transportive selection drawn from across the globe, easing the room into motion before handing over to the live band at 22:30.

After the live performance, takes us through to close. A Worldwide FM resident and one of London’s rising stars of the underground and an incredibly diverse selector, his sets weave together dub, percussive club sounds and global dancefloor music with warmth, depth and effortless flow.

Final cheap tickets available on DICE, free before 9pm and £10 on the door after.

Last Thursday we celebrated the tenth anniversary of Grow’s jazz jam house band, Stratos.

Led by Rio Kai, with Mike De Souza, Zoe Pascal and Dom Pusey, Stratos have spent the last decade gracing Grow’s stage on Thursday nights, jamming, growing and, in Rio’s words, “incubating something special.”

Since the early years of jazz, jam sessions have been unofficial spaces of training, education and development. Players young and old share stages, push each other’s creativity, and build something unique together.

That spirit was fully alive on Thursday night. A huge shout out to Stratos, Pete and Chanty74 on the decks, to every jammer who stepped up, and to everyone in the audience who came down, listened and helped make the night such a wonderful celebration.

Leave the ego at the door. Bring your instrument, bring your energy, and join the show. Or watch the magic of musicianship and connection unfold on the stage.

If you haven’t made it down yet this is your sign to join Stratos at Grow every Thursday from 19.30 to 22.30.

A little glimpse into something special.

Coming up next Friday 12th June, brings his full-band A Brief Utopia to Grow for its London debut, and we couldn't think of a better setting.

Built around live drums, tuned percussion and psychedelic electronics, the project sits at a powerful intersection of live dance music and global sounds. It's vibrant, immersive and deeply rhythmic, designed as much for movement as it is for listening. The kind of show where you can completely let go and lose yourself in the flow of the music.

With releases on Earthly Measures, Mesh, Ostgut Ton, Different, Messrs Kick & Drum, SceneUnseen, and his own label, Making Friends. Jinjé & A Brief Utopia brings the project to life with a full live ensemble, creating something physical, spontaneous and alive in the room.

This is one of those nights you'll wish you hadn't missed.

Few cheap tickets remaining on DICE and it's free before 9pm and £10 on the door.

This Saturday, DeepDig welcomes Alex Nut, one of London’s finest DJs, for a four-hour trip through the deeper corners of his record bag.

A selector with serious history, serious taste and the kind of touch that turns a dancefloor into a journey. From his work behind the decks to the world he’s built with the brilliant Eglo Records, Alex has helped shape some of the most soulful, forward-thinking sounds to come out of London.

Expect soul, pressure, warmth, curveballs and proper moments in our warehouse.

Last few cheap tickets on RA, £10 on the door.
