DEEPDIG: DISTANT RHYTHM // CEYLAN GÖKSEL (LATIN // GLOBAL GROOVE // JAZZ // PSYCHEDELIC)


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

DeepDig is Grow’s in house series, shining a light on some of London’s finest selectors and DJs and giving them the space to explore longer form sets. Built around patience, intention and immersion, the night centres on deep listening as much as dancing.

ABOUT THE EVENT

Headlining this edition is London based DJ and private record dealer Distant Rhythm aka Jamal Raouf, playing a special 4 hour extended set. Since launching his record platform in 2022, he has built a reputation for offering a thoughtful selection of pre loved records, each handpicked to reflect his passion for travel and musical discovery.

As a DJ, Distant Rhythm leans toward tropical and psychedelic sounds, guided by rhythm and atmosphere. His selections draw from percussive styles across the Caribbean, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East, moving fluidly between regions and tempos. Along the way he has played with the likes of Habibi Funk, My Analog Journal and the Beirut Groove Collective, with Giant Steps among the highlights.

In 2026 he launched Distant Echoes, a vinyl only mix series on YouTube exploring records from his personal collection that rarely surface in clubs, creating space for music that rewards patience and deep attention. That same ethos shapes his extended sets, where the journey unfolds gradually and organically.

Opening the night with a 3 hour set is Ceylan Göksel, an Istanbul born, London based artist, broadcaster and curator blending emotive storytelling with a contemporary sound shaped by electronic, downtempo, jazz, balearic and house influences. Deeply rooted in radio culture, her love for broadcasting is informed by her background at Worldwide FM and her ongoing eight year residency across Netil Radio and Resonance Extra.

Alongside her releases and DJ sets, Ceylan works across music supervision and production at My Analog Journal, helping shape the musical direction of the globally respected platform. MAJ has become an inspiration for vinyl collectors and diggers worldwide, sharing the sound of global groove through its celebrated YouTube channel and carefully curated sessions spotlighting diverse regions, genres and eras.

Spending her days working across the music industry, she documents her creative journey by using music as a way to connect with people and navigate life collectively across genres, spaces and audiences. Her extended opening set will set the tone with warmth, depth and intention before gradually guiding the room toward the dancefloor.

Two extended journeys. Seven hours of sound. A space to listen deeply and move freely.
