After our Open Studios event we welcome our Grow Studios residents to host the afterparty!
Raised in techno, schooled in UKG, cemented in house. DJing since the early 90’s Thoma’s record collection spans decades of garage, minimal house and breaks which reflect the pacy, skippy, 4x4, rave and breaks infused tracks he’s been producing recently.
He’s warmed up for the likes of Ricardo Villalobos, Voigtmann, Radioactive Man and Burnski over the years and is a regular at London spots such as The Cause, Brilliant Corners and Fabric, where he plays B2B sets with resident and partner in crime Anna Wall. Thoma’s first releases of 2020 includes a collab EP with Subb-An on Constant Black which has already had radio plays on BBC6 Music and Rinse FM.
Long time Grow favourite, Chanty74 takes to our decks to join the dots between anything from psychedelic jazz to soul, hip hop, world music & house.
DELIAH is the collective name for two musicians/producers residing in The Inscape Studio at Grow Studios, Hackney. The duo’s natural set up combines music and visuals to create powerful soundscapes and narratives, however they will be bringing us a stripped back set at the open house event to start our afternoon off with some ethereal vocals and subtle acoustic guitar.
£5 from 9pm

About Grow Studios
Did you know Grow Studios was founded in 2007 by two locals living and working in Hackney Wick? The studios were repurposed from two empty warehouses - one was a commercial printers; the other a sausage factory backing onto the Lea Navigation canal. The studios were borne out of a DIY self-organising ethos to create useful and sustainable spaces for its tenants. GROW is a unit of these studios and a space to bring grassroots music, art and people together, operated as an experiment in ethical and sustainable business.
Food & Drink - Kitchen Open till 10pm
Our Spice Trail inspired menu is predominantly plant based, with some ethically sourced meat options, as part of our conscious drive towards sustainability. Our passion is for the cooking of the Middle East and southern Mediterranean so expect warm flavours and spices and as always the best ingredients we can find to comfort and nourish the soul.
With our drinks, we partner with breweries St Austell and Signature Brew for our lagers and IPAs and serve organic wine and prosecco which help international wildlife charity, Born Free. We design our own drinks such as homemade Hackney Spiced Rum.
