ABOUT THE EVENT
We’re honoured to welcome the legendary Mr Bongo DJs to Grow for a very special 4-hour extended DeepDig set. This one’s been a long time coming — we’ve been wanting to invite them for years. True tastemakers and world-class diggers, they’ve shaped the global music scene with their deep knowledge and impeccable selections.
Their journey began over 35 years ago, digging in Venezuela and stuffing suitcases with rare Latin records to bring back to Europe. Since then, they’ve tracked down forgotten gems in dusty basements, warehouses and street markets across South America, Africa, Asia, and beyond.
Launching as a Soho record shop in 1989, Mr Bongo was the UK’s first to stock independent US hip-hop on vinyl. Since then, they’ve become a vital force in surfacing classic and contemporary sounds from Brazil, Latin America, Africa, and the global underground — both as DJs and via their Brighton-based label.
With artists like Arthur Verocai, BADBADNOTGOOD, Rubel, Cymande, and Marcos Valle on the roster, the Mr Bongo label is trusted by heads around the world. Their DJ sets are soulful, high-energy, and full of surprises — spanning rare Brazilian grooves, deep disco cuts, modern soul, gospel, house and beyond.
Having played festivals and venues from Glastonbury to Mareh in Brazil, this is a rare chance to experience the full spectrum of the Mr Bongo sound in an intimate space. A real treat for DeepDig — and not one to miss.
