ABOUT THE EVENT

Beirut Groove Collective Summer Club is now in session. The dress code is loose. The records are deep. Attendance on the dancefloor is compulsory. 

Now in its 17th year, the Beirut Groove Collective (BGC) is a London-based collective of vinyl DJs and crate diggers behind the BGC All-Nighter – a cult clubnight dedicated to obscure and underground dancefloor records from the 1960s to the 1980s, spanning the SWANA region, Africa and beyond. Rooted in Beirut’s formative decades as a cosmopolitan musical crossroads, the night draws on pioneering records and subcultures of the ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s. The BGC’s floor-shaking vintage sets trace sonic links across global scenes – from Arabic and African Funk, Lebanese '60s Beat and Bellydance Disco to Latin Tarab, Armenian Estradayin, Anatolian Rock, Ethiopian and Sudanese Jazz and rare Soul, Funk and Psychedelia from around the world.

This Friday 14 August, the BGC brings its deep crates to Grow for a summer edition of its clubnight with canal-side sets from DJ, compiler, NTS resident and the BGC founder, Ernesto Chahoud and DJ, music researcher and writer Natalie Shooter and guests. Join them from 7-10pm by the canal, and 10pm-2am in the club at Grow.
