Soul On The Canal Side returns for their third Party of the Summer season for 2025!
Starting early in the afternoon on the Terrace, join us for another epic summer session, full of jazzy soulful goodness and deep house.
ABOUT THE DJS
The Mucho Soul crew return with another stellar line-up of DJs and selectors to take you from sunny afternoon grooves into a lively evening on our Canal Side Terrace. From 10 pm the energy shifts indoors for a sweaty, hands-in-the-air session of deep house and disco delights until the early hours. Expect a journey through soul, rare groove, funk, boogie, sunshine jazz, soulful house and nu-disco, all delivered with the Mucho Soul trademark eclecticism.
Basil Isaac (a.k.a. Basil Black II Basics) has been a fixture on the scene for over 35 years and a regular at Grow’s Soul On The Canal Side since 2017. A versatile musician and percussionist, he’s toured with Underworld and performed alongside Des’ree, Joyce Sims, Basement Jaxx, Peven Everett, Roachford, Masters at Work, Robert Owens and many more. Basil worked closely with the late Maxi Jazz (Faithless) for over two decades and continues to evolve his live DJ and percussion sets, playing festivals such as Glastonbury, Cross The Tracks and Electric Picnic. Always a crowd favourite at Soul On The Canal Side.
Simon Kurrage, one of West London’s original vinyl heads, has been collecting and spinning records since his school days in the early 90s. Cutting his teeth with organisations like World Dance and AWOL before co-founding the cult seven-inch night Size Doesn’t Matter, Simon has shared the decks with legends including Frankie Knuckles, Danny Krivit, Timmy Regisford, Tony Humphries and Norman Jay. Known for his fearless and playful approach to DJing, he keeps crowds moving with his infectious energy and crate-dug gems.
Harv-inder Singh (DJ Harv) began collecting records at 12 and set up his own sound system by 16. For 15 years he was at the heart of iconic record shop Honest Jon’s in Ladbroke Grove, curating compilations such as The Bombay Jazz Palace and DJing alongside Gilles Peterson, Carl Craig, Norman Jay, Terry Hall and Damon Albarn. His productions as part of We Are The Horsemen have featured on BBC Radio 1 and 6 Music, and he currently hosts The Feeling Good Show on Point Blank FM — hailed by the Observer’s Miranda Sawyer for its unique style and eclectic selections.
Mucho Soul began as a monthly Soho club night in 2001, founded by Alan Kenny Arscott (DJ A.K.A) and Ket Shah. Over the years, their soulful and eclectic vision has taken them to festivals and stages across Europe, including We Out Here, Latitude, Campfire, Amor Andalucia, Vocalbooth and Southern Soul. They launched their Soul On The Canal Side parties at Grow in 2017, which have since become a much-loved summer series bringing the very best in black-influenced dance music to Hackney Wick.
