WHATS ON IN SEPTEMBER
As festival season comes to a close and summer starts to fade, it’s tempting to get nostalgic... Just kidding, obviously! September is packed with just as many must-see gigs and top artists, plus the grand finale of London’s day festival season. From electronic music legends to fresh new acts, there’s still plenty to experience. So, get ready to put the cherry on top of another top-tier summer in London’s vibrant music scene!

THURSDAY 5TH
Dejector, who jumped onto the scene in 2021, quickly amassing a large following with his heartfelt electronic style, is having an EP Launch party at Club Makossa, Dalston. We love tracks: “These Days” and “Take Me There”. We’ll definitely be there for an intimate and emotive night.

AAJA PRESENTS: CREEKSIDE
SATURDAY 7TH
AAJA Celebrates 6 Years in the game with the return of Creekside Festival! A Multi-venue festival in south east London with 17 independent venues taking part. Expect a bloc party with homegrown talent, DJ’s, crews and radio playing House, Garage, Jungle, Breaks, Soul and everything electronic in between. As well as a celebration of local artists, Creekside will also be a celebration of local food and culture, with plenty of food venders from both deptford and further afield. On a more personal note, I was once lost in Deptford, hungover without a wallet or phone and the kind people of AAJA kindly let me perch up in their bunker with an on-the-house beer as I listened to a local selector mix vinyl immaculately. And although I rarely traverse the rail network from the top to the tail of London (from my perspective), AAJA has held a spot in my heart ever since. They’re a beautiful community doing beautiful things in a world that often seems desperate to eliminate those who champion the quieter voices, and I don’t know anywhere else in London that would’ve given a lost soul a beer and a seat instead of a F*** O**! We’ll certainly be making an appearance and I’m not sure who wouldn’t with £11 TICKETS!
