DEEPDIG: ROHAN RAKHIT & DONUT (5 HR SET) // SOPH (SOULFUL HOUSE, BROKEN BEAT, PERCUSSIVE GLOBAL CLUB)


  • Grow 98c Wallis Road London, England, E9 5LN United Kingdom (map)

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. Her selections lean into warmth and openness, creating a gentle entry point into the night before the deeper dive begins inside.
