A full night of live rhythm, psychedelic textures and global dancefloor energy, as Jinjé brings A Brief Utopia to the floor in full band form, with support on the decks from Kamar and Earthly Measures.

ABOUT THE EVENT

A Brief Utopia began as a shift in direction for Jinjé, stepping away from the studio and into a more physical, instinct-led way of making music, rooted in live drumming and percussion. What followed has grown into a full live project, built alongside a cast of heavyweight musicians, blending tuned percussion, live drums and psychedelic synth work into something vivid, rhythmic and alive.

On stage, it moves with intent. A colourful, high-energy performance that draws on sounds from across the world, shaped through improvisation and tight musicianship, built equally for the dancefloor and the moment. Since its beginnings on Scene Unseen, the project has expanded into a full LP with Earthly Measures, bringing even more depth and movement into the sound.

Jinjé’s wider catalogue has picked up support from the likes of Jon Hopkins, Max Cooper and Gerd Janson, alongside plays across Radio 1, 6 Music and beyond. Before that, as part of Vessels, he spent years touring internationally, taking in festivals from Glastonbury to Sonar, shaping a sound that has always balanced electronic depth with live energy. A Brief Utopia feels like a natural evolution of that path, more direct, more physical, and built to be experienced in the room.

If you’re into the likes of Floating Points in full live mode, Jon Hopkins, Max Cooper or the more rhythm-led edges of artists like Nicola Cruz and Dengue Dengue Dengue, Jinjé’s A Brief Utopia will land heavy. Rooted in live percussion, jazz influence and global rhythms, it sits somewhere between club music and live ensemble energy. This is a serious one for the Grow community, a rare chance to catch something this immersive and rhythm-driven in the room. Not one to miss.

Closing the night, Kamar brings a deeply rooted and wide-reaching approach to the dancefloor, shaped through years of digging, travel and connection to global sound. A resident on Worldwide FM, his ‘Tealeaves’ show explores music through migration, reflecting a sound that moves fluidly across borders and traditions.

His sets are built on rhythm and feeling, connecting dub, synth-led sounds and percussive club music from the Americas through to the SWANA region and beyond. It’s a style grounded in deep knowledge but always tuned to the room, creating a sense of flow across genres, cultures and tempos.

Kamar has played everywhere from Glastonbury and We Out Here to Phonox, Brilliant Corners and Jumbi, and has appeared across NTS, Rinse FM and My Analogue Journal. Through his party far.corners, he continues to push a sound centred on discovery and exchange, always digging deeper into the global underground.

Opening the night, Earthly Measuressets the tone with a free-flowing approach to sound, pulling from all corners of the globe with no fixed boundaries. Expect humid, percussive selections and deep, transportive grooves, easing the room into motion and setting the pace for what follows.

His club night, WheelUP Presents, has hosted key broken beat tastemakers like Jamz Supernova and Ben Hauke. A former Balamii resident, he continues to make waves on the airwaves with recent mixes for Mellotron, Defected, Radio 1001, and The Boat Pod, and a guest appearance on Rinse FM with Drifty—which led to the launch of their joint club night, SameSame.

For our next DeepDig, we settle into a full evening of patient listening and long-form movement, shaped by some of London’s most exciting cultural innovators.

ABOUT THE EVENT

Rohan Rakhit and Donut step into an extended five-hour session, a format that allows their shared language to unfold without constraint. Regular collaborators and part of the team behind the First Light show on Worldwide FM, and now holding a new residency at Tate Modern, the pair have built a natural chemistry behind the decks.

Rohan, a key figure within the DAYTIMERS collective, brings a deeply rooted, cross-cultural approach to his selections. Alongside him, Donut runs his own parties and soundsystem, Shortlist, bringing that same energy into the booth with an instinctive, wide-reaching ear.

Together, they are a real match, a tour de force unrestricted by genre, able to move fluidly through soulful house, percussive rhythms, deeper club sounds and beyond, traversing sounds and moods with ease. Often heard together in South London, this is a rare chance to experience them stretching out in East, in Hackney Wick, with the time and space to really open things up. A real summer time treat shaped with patience, intuition and trust in the room.

Out on the terrace, Sophopens from early evening, setting the tone as the light fades. Co-founder of SisterMidnight and founder of the Social Records Society collective, as well as a producer of First Light, her work sits close to the grassroots, grounded in care, community and building spaces that last.

It’s kind of crazy to think we’re here again, celebrating another birthday. Twelve years tucked away in our little corner of the Grow Studios warehouse, building things slowly, carefully and with a DIY spirit from day one.

ABOUT THE EVENT

Grow started as an experiment. Could an independent venue challenge the status quo and put people, planet and culture before profit? Twelve years later, we’re proud to still be here, still doing things our own way, and still grounded in the same morals and ethics that shaped the space from the beginning

Over the years, Grow has evolved through the people who have worked here, played here, danced here, eaten here, listened here and helped bring the venue to life. Our cultural programme has grown with that energy, shaped by the artists, musicians, collectives and promoters we’ve been lucky enough to work with along the way. From grassroots live music and jazz to forward-thinking club nights, deep listening sessions and community gatherings, the programme has always been about creativity, connection and the feeling of music in a room.

This year also marks 10 years of Stratos’s Jazz Jam, a huge part of Grow’s story and one of the most important weekly gatherings in the space. For a decade, it has brought together musicians, listeners and improvisers, keeping the spirit of live music alive in Hackney

On Saturday 18th July, we’ll be celebrating with a full day and night of live music, DJs, great food, flowing drinks and a few surprises along the way. We’ll be starting in the afternoon and carrying on right through until 2am.

Line-up and full details are coming soon, but expect the full Grow flavour from start to finish.
