LIVE CYPHER @ COLOUR FACTORY
Friday 14th February — Valentine’s Day <3
Leave your valentine at home this year. Or better yet, bring them along for a romantic evening full of grime. After an iconic Balamii cypher that saw viral success and propelled Cunning's Slazenger bars into a release with Sammy Virji, we’re bringing it to a live setting. What better place to do it, than Hackney's favourite venue - Colour Factory.
PS: it's Elf’s birthday, so expect appearances from some legendary special guests throughout the night.
The pioneers of the underground scene in London and Newcastle, Profound Sound will kick off the night with a takeover featuring HNDY, Hyphen, and Holyoake. Get down early to soak in what's guaranteed to be a one-of-a-kind extended set from these three.
Next up and needing no introduction, Capo Lee is joined by a very special guest (TBA soon...) and will be throwing down both a DJ and MC set. This one's a rarity, and it's going to be special.
Our main event for the night - the live cypher the up & coming grime scene has been waiting for. Sam Deeley and Elf will be joined by an iconic crew for what might just be the best 90 minutes of your life: Faultsz, PK, Cunning, Jososick, Limmz, Shumba Youth, Outlaw, Renelle 893, Lorry, and special guests (!!!!)
PRESTi and Hendy will close out the night, again with an extended set, showcasing an unheard blend of 2-step, grime, garage, and hidden underground gems. These two are revered selectors individually - bringing them together might be our best idea yet.
Don't miss this one. Seriously. Happy Valentines <3
