Bruk Therapy is a genre-pushing club night rooted in London’s broken beat and underground dance culture.

ABOUT THE EVENT

Curated by DJ Cengiz, the event brings together rhythmic innovation and soulful energy, creating a dancefloor experience that is both healing and electrifying. It's a space where bruk, soul, house, jazz and global latin percussive sounds collide, all carefully selected to move both the body and the spirit.

WheelUP, the moniker of West London producer, DJ, and “bruk renaissance” torchbearer Danny Wheeler, has become a key figure in the new wave of broken beat. With releases on CoOperation Records, Jamz Supernova’s Future Bounce, and his home label Tru Thoughts - as well as remixes for Goldie’s Fallen Tree 1Hundred and Wah Wah 45s - he has firmly established his place in the genre’s next generation.

On stage, WheelUP has lit up iconic venues and festivals including Hootananny Brixton, Shambala, Lost Village, Love Supreme, We Out Here, Kendal Calling, and Worldwide Sète. As a DJ, he's headlined at Spiritland and Café 1001, with standout appearances at Brick Lane Jazz Festival, Glastonbury, Worldwide Festival, Everybody Loves the Weekend, Stowaway Festival, and a support slot for Groove Armada at KOKO. His club night, WheelUP Presents, has hosted key broken beat tastemakers like Jamz Supernova and Ben Hauke. A former Balamii resident, he continues to make waves on the airwaves with recent mixes for Mellotron, Defected, Radio 1001, and The Boat Pod, and a guest appearance on Rinse FM with Drifty—which led to the launch of their joint club night, SameSame.

A full night of live rhythm, psychedelic textures and global dancefloor energy, as Jinjé brings A Brief Utopia to the floor in full band form, with support on the decks from Kamar and Earthly Measures.

ABOUT THE EVENT

A Brief Utopia began as a shift in direction for Jinjé, stepping away from the studio and into a more physical, instinct-led way of making music, rooted in live drumming and percussion. What followed has grown into a full live project, built alongside a cast of heavyweight musicians, blending tuned percussion, live drums and psychedelic synth work into something vivid, rhythmic and alive.

On stage, it moves with intent. A colourful, high-energy performance that draws on sounds from across the world, shaped through improvisation and tight musicianship, built equally for the dancefloor and the moment. Since its beginnings on Scene Unseen, the project has expanded into a full LP with Earthly Measures, bringing even more depth and movement into the sound.

Jinjé’s wider catalogue has picked up support from the likes of Jon Hopkins, Max Cooper and Gerd Janson, alongside plays across Radio 1, 6 Music and beyond. Before that, as part of Vessels, he spent years touring internationally, taking in festivals from Glastonbury to Sonar, shaping a sound that has always balanced electronic depth with live energy. A Brief Utopia feels like a natural evolution of that path, more direct, more physical, and built to be experienced in the room.

If you’re into the likes of Floating Points in full live mode, Jon Hopkins, Max Cooper or the more rhythm-led edges of artists like Nicola Cruz and Dengue Dengue Dengue, Jinjé’s A Brief Utopia will land heavy. Rooted in live percussion, jazz influence and global rhythms, it sits somewhere between club music and live ensemble energy. This is a serious one for the Grow community, a rare chance to catch something this immersive and rhythm-driven in the room. Not one to miss.

Closing the night, Kamar brings a deeply rooted and wide-reaching approach to the dancefloor, shaped through years of digging, travel and connection to global sound. A resident on Worldwide FM, his ‘Tealeaves’ show explores music through migration, reflecting a sound that moves fluidly across borders and traditions.

His sets are built on rhythm and feeling, connecting dub, synth-led sounds and percussive club music from the Americas through to the SWANA region and beyond. It’s a style grounded in deep knowledge but always tuned to the room, creating a sense of flow across genres, cultures and tempos.

Kamar has played everywhere from Glastonbury and We Out Here to Phonox, Brilliant Corners and Jumbi, and has appeared across NTS, Rinse FM and My Analogue Journal. Through his party far.corners, he continues to push a sound centred on discovery and exchange, always digging deeper into the global underground.

Opening the night, Earthly Measuressets the tone with a free-flowing approach to sound, pulling from all corners of the globe with no fixed boundaries. Expect humid, percussive selections and deep, transportive grooves, easing the room into motion and setting the pace for what follows.

A four hour set with Auntie Flo is not about quick hits. It is about immersion. Tracing lines between continents and communities. Letting rhythm do its slow work.

Formerly of Worldwide FM and now hosting a fortnightly Soho Radio show, she moves across rhythmic, percussive dance music from around the globe with depth and intention.

ABOUT THE EVENT

Girlz B Like, the powerhouse all-female, vinyl-only DJ collective founded by Marcia Carr, is back to set Hackney ablaze with its bi-monthly sonic ritual. This is not just a party - it’s a movement, a celebration, and the most talked-about women-led dancefloor experience the city has been craving.

A familiar voice on NTS Radio and Balamii Radio, a familiar staffer at Lion Vibes, and a cornerstone of Brixton’s vinyl scene, her arrival is nothing short of iconic.

Joining her is the multi-hyphenate force YDLR - DJ, singer-songwriter, and founder of the groundbreaking PXSSY X VINYL initiative. From her CLUB YDLR residency to chart-topping Mixcloud sessions, she is redefining the grassroots club landscape while empowering the next generation of women on wax.

At the helm, Marcia Carr herself - revered by global icons like Kerri Chandler and Louie Vega - curates a journey only she can deliver: rich, soulful, and transcendent - a treat you do not want to miss.

ABOUT THE EVENT

Born in São Paulo and now based in Lyon, DJ Âmy B is a DJ, vinyl collector and cultural producer with a deep-rooted connection to Brazilian music. Her work is grounded in research, dance and a real commitment to sharing the full spectrum of Brazil’s sound.

She is the founder of Carnavália, a high-energy party dedicated to Brazilian dancefloor sounds, and runs Forró da Âmy, a long-standing weekly night built around forró, the traditional music and partner dance from Northeast Brazil. Alongside this, she holds a residency on Radio Nova Lyon and has played across festivals and dancefloors in both Europe and Brazil.

Her sets are rich, rhythmic and full of character, moving between rare cuts, roots music and modern sounds with ease. She is also one half of Vinil Ancestral, a vinyl-focused project exploring Brazilian musical heritage, tracing connections between regions, traditions and the wider diaspora.

Volta45, aka Bernard Johnson-Tackie, is a Ghanaian-born, London-based DJ, record collector and archivist, known for blending sounds from Africa, South America and the French Caribbean into deeply percussive, high-energy sets. His work as co-compiler of Borga Revolution and wider research into West African music runs through everything he plays, giving his selections both depth and intention. His musical knowledge and depth are something to behold, best experienced on the dancefloor through Grow’s soundsystem.

Following last year’s packed out session with Far Out Recordings founder Joe Davis, Volta45 has continued to build out a series of nights at Grow rooted in live music and global connection, inviting artists such as The Scorpios, Fofoulah and Platfoord. From Sudanese funk and afrobeat-infused live shows to future-facing jazz and Senegalese rhythms, these sessions have explored the meeting points between traditions, diasporas and dancefloors.

This next chapter brings that same spirit into focus, drawing a line between West Africa and Brazil, two regions bound by deep rhythmic and cultural ties. Together, Volta45 and Âmy B create a space that goes beyond genres, rooted in heritage, movement and shared musical language.

A night for dancers, listeners and anyone drawn to the deeper story behind the music.

ABOUT THE EVENT

This marks the fourth time we’ve invited miche to guide the room, and every time he’s brought something special. A DJ with a deep love for dancefloor-ready music in all its forms, miche has quietly become one of London’s most trusted selectors. His With Love compilations on Mr Bongo trace a global path through Brazilian MPB, modern soul, deep house and jazz-funk, each record sourced with care and cultural depth. Beyond the decks he co-runs four reissue labels dedicated to unearthing forgotten treasures and restoring lost chapters.

From all-night sessions across Europe to festival takeovers and radio shows, his sets carry that same curiosity. Nostalgia as a bridge, not a destination. Jazz that opens into house. Soul that drifts toward broken beat. Deep grooves that stretch, build and lock the floor step by step. At Grow, he knows exactly how to shape a room over time.

Joining him are Alfie and Paloma, Liminal People, back at Grow after warming up Mr Bongo here last August. Both have played for From The Crates and for DeepDig separately. This time they step into a full four-hour stretch.

Their sound moves through obscure disco, ecstatic house and leftfield dancefloor oddities, stitched together with instinct and joy. Rooted in the London soulful scene, they bring a psychedelic edge and an openness that draws dancers in. Expect lift, depth and a few curveballs along the way.

A mainstay of London's queer scene, and a regular at the likes of Body Movements, Waterworks, and The Cause, Michelle is known for her eclectic and dynamic sets that drift seamlessly between House, Techno, Acid, Rave, Leftfield, Breaks and Disco.

Chicha Por Favor returns to light up East London with another deep dive into the hypnotic pulse of tropical cumbia. Rooted in Peruvian chicha but always pushing forward, this edition welcomes a brand-new live force ready to shake the foundations.

ABOUT THE EVENT

Headlining the night are Las Chanchas, a fresh project born in 2025 with a mission: high energy, fearless experimentation, and a bold reimagining of Amazonian chicha. Challenging traditional line-ups and instrumentation, Las Chanchas prove that fewer players can still deliver a full, rich, psychedelic tropical sound. Drawing from diverse cultural and musical backgrounds, they explore new sonic territories while preserving the hypnotic groove at the heart of cumbia. This is just the beginning, and they’re coming to give it everything.

Joining the session is special guest Danny Fitzgerald (Rum Punch Show, NTS Radio). A Liverpool-born DJ and respected digger of classic tropical sounds, Danny has compiled calypso, highlife, jùjú, apala and Afro-Latin jazz for Soul Jazz Records and has spent years championing rare Caribbean, Latin American and West African records. Expect deep selections, rare cuts, and pure tropical heat.

On resident duties:

Paskal Rough & Tough (Cool Breeze) — guiding dancers through 60s and 70s sounds from Jamaica, the Caribbean and Latin America, travelling from the Peruvian Andes to Colombian coasts and beyond, soaking in bass-heavy grooves and hypnotic accordion melodies.

Representing the heart and vision behind the party, Ritmo del Barrio continues its mission of celebrating vintage Latin American music, with a special focus on Peruvian cumbia (chicha), bridging heritage and contemporary tropical energy.

Expect psychedelic guitars, rolling percussion, deep basslines and sweat on the dancefloor.

Miles Away returns to Grow with a special night of deep rhythms, live jazz-funk and global dancefloor sounds.

ABOUT THE EVENT

We’re delighted to welcome the magnificent Santa Leticia, the Worldwide FM resident known for her richly eclectic vinyl sets. Born in the sun-soaked landscapes of Andalusia and now based in Newcastle, Santa Leticia weaves vibrant musical journeys across Latin America, the Caribbean, Brazil and Africa, underpinned by jazz, rare groove, funk and disco. A dedicated digger with a beautifully fluid style, her sets move effortlessly between eras and continents — always soulful, always percussive, and always built for the dancefloor.

For the first time ever at a Miles Away label event we welcome a live band to the lineup. Last year we had the pleasure of releasing Rob J Madin’s debut EP MONSTRO on Miles Away to critical acclaim, and after the EP launch party hosted in the band’s hometown of Sheffield, we’ve been eager to bring them down to London to showcase their raw instrumental jazz-funk. For this special occasion, the band will perform together in a live setting for just the second time ever.

Travelling down from Sheffield, this six-piece outfit delivers deep grooves, cosmic textures and infectious rhythm, blending original compositions with inspired reinterpretations. Rooted in the spirit of 70s fusion, library grooves and deep dancefloor rhythm sections, their sound channels heavyweight musicianship and hypnotic improvisation with serious low-end pressure.

Miles Away residents Roberta Cutolo and Dom Ore will be providing DJ support either side of the live show and special guests. As always with our label nights, this is a celebration of the full spectrum of soulful music — past, present and future.

DeepDig is about giving artists the time to dig deep, stretch out and build a room slowly from the ground up. Pull out unexpected records and let dancers settle into something that develops over time.

ABOUT THE EVENT

Grace Sands’ foundations sit in the roots of UK deep house culture. As part of DiY Soundsystem, she helped shape the sound that moved from Nottingham warehouses into the wider free party movement of the late 80s and 90s. That era was not built on quick peaks or neat programming. It was built on endurance, community and records that rolled for as long as they needed to.

Her grounding in hip hop, funk, post punk, disco and jazz still informs how she constructs a set. It is not about jumping between styles for effect. It is about understanding how groove travels, how tension builds gradually and how to hold a dancefloor without forcing it. In an extended DeepDig session, she has the room to go further into her collection, letting deeper cuts breathe and allowing the arc of the night to form naturally.

Fannar brings a different but equally dancefloor focused energy. Through co founding Meat Party and holding long standing residencies at spaces like Ziber, Happy Endings, The Divine and Adonis, he has built his reputation in rooms where connection and movement come first.

His sound moves through disco, house and acid with bounce and intent. He understands momentum, when to lift, when to lock into a groove and ride it. Given the space of a longer set, that instinct has more room to expand. Expect shifts that feel organic rather than abrupt, and stretches where the rhythm takes over completely.

ABOUT DEEPDIG

DeepDig is a night curated by Grow, that brings some of our favourite DJs and producers to play the sets that they don’t usually get to play at bigger venues and festivals. Expect lengthy, no-holds-barred DJ sets in intimate settings, where they have free rein to take the crowd in whatever direction they like.

Previous guests: Alfie, Arnau Obiols, Batukizer, blissy e, Brian Not Brian, Bror Havnes, Ceylan Göksel, Chris Wheatley, Cosmo Sofi, CSGRV, Dean Bryce, Demacque, Distant Rhythm, DJ Amir, Dom Ore, Frederika, Haseeb Iqbal, K15, Kanem, Kisa, Lanni, Liminal People, LORA S, Maria Hanlon, Martha, Medlar, Miche, Millie McKee, Mr Bongo, Mr Redley, My Analog Journal (Zag + Shaqdi), Nina Yamada, Paloma, Patrick Forge, Petra’s Dream, Poly-Ritmo, Rebecca Vasmant, Rohan Rakhit, Saachi, Sanoy, Stu Clark (WOLF MUSIC), Tea, Thristian, Tim Garcia, Tumbaito, Vandorta

This Good Friday, N’Calma Collective returns to Grow Hackney to celebrate 17 years of championing Afro-Brazilian sound system culture with a landmark anniversary session and the perfect way to begin your Easter weekend.

ABOUT THE EVENT

Headlining the night is Brazilian singer-songwriter Aleh Ferreira, best known as the frontman of the legendary Banda Black Rio, pioneers of Brazil’s iconic samba-funk sound.

A key figure in contemporary música popular brasileira in the diaspora, Aleh has shared stages with artists such as Seu Jorge, Ed Motta and Daniela Mercury. Bringing his full band to Grow, expect a powerful, high-energy live show filled with soul, rhythm and serious dance floor heat.

Before and after the live performance, DJ Tigas takes over, serving up Afro-Brazilian beats, Latin grooves and global rhythms to keep the floor moving all night long.

Good Friday at Grow is set to be anything but quiet. Join us for a celebratory Easter weekend session soundtracked by one of Brazil’s true musical heavyweights.

Grow Live presents a night exploring Moroccan and Saharan musical traditions through contemporary live performance and DJ culture.

ABOUT THE EVENT

Arfoud Brothers and Sisters bring a rich, rhythm-led sound rooted in Moroccan and Saharan musical tradition, often described as desert jazz for the dancefloor. Their live performances are driven by insistent percussion, cyclical grooves and melodic lines that unfold slowly, creating a hypnotic and immersive atmosphere.

The project is led by Abdelillah Ouahbi on guembri, guitar and vocals. His playing draws directly from the Gnawa tradition, a North African musical form built around rhythm, repetition and trance. Traditionally performed in communal settings, Gnawa music centres deep bass lines, call and response vocals and layered percussion, creating music that is grounding, physical and deeply connected to movement.

Taking their name from Arfoud, a Saharan city in south eastern Morocco with strong Amazigh heritage, the band draws on Arabic and Amazigh roots while weaving in Afrobeat, West African rhythms and Brazilian influences. Psychedelic guitar textures and blues-leaning melodies sit alongside earthy grooves, producing a sound that feels expansive, borderless and alive.

The result is music that feels both ancient and forward moving, designed to be danced to, felt collectively and carried with you long after the night ends.

The evening opens with Beatkoznia, setting the tone with a rhythm-focused DJ set rooted in Moroccan and North African musical traditions. Based between Marrakech and London, Beatkoznia are known for blending electronic music with Afro-centric rhythms, Middle Eastern motifs and deep, driving percussion, drawing on their experience in world music and club contexts. After the live performance, Beatkoznia return to the decks to carry the night forward, pushing the rhythms into a deeper, late-night club space with a more contemporary dancefloor focus.

Together, the night flows between DJ-led and live performance, tracing a continuous rhythmic journey rooted in Moroccan and Saharan tradition and shaped for contemporary dancefloors. A rare chance to experience North African musical heritage through rhythm, movement and collective energy.

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.

Bruk Therapy is a genre-pushing club night rooted in London’s broken beat and underground dance culture.

ABOUT THE EVENT

Bruk Therapy is a genre-pushing club night rooted in London’s broken beat and underground dance culture. Curated by DJ Cengiz, the event brings together rhythmic innovation and soulful energy, creating a dancefloor experience that is both healing and electrifying. It's a space where bruk, soul, house, jazz and global latin percussive sounds collide, all carefully selected to move both the body and the spirit...

LILA is a Hackney-raised DJ, broadcaster and curator of French heritage based in London, known for eclectic sets that blend jazz and Latin-inflected broken beat, soulful house, UK funky and percussive bass-driven grooves. She began at 18 as a presenter on her local East London station, championing emerging talent before taking her sound to club dancefloors and airwaves alike. Now a proud Rinse FM resident with a bi-weekly show, she showcases deep soulful selections, fresh promos and her signature rhythmic voyage, earning a reputation as a key tastemaker in London’s underground. A member of the Brighter Days Family collective, she has played festivals including We Out Here, Outlook and Meadows in the Mountains, hosted Boiler Room events in Manchester and Leeds, and continues to champion inclusive, forward-thinking club culture through her own Braindance Events.

Mo Wrights channels the soul in his veins through narrative-driven mixes and productions that blend the young with the old, the clean with the dirty, and earthier riddims with the radiance of balmy jazz chords. A jazz cat by nature and house head by trade, he’s a producer, DJ, curator, and co-founder of Amsterdam’s Steppin’ Into Tomorrow, known for putting story first treating genres as chapters that move fluidly from House to Broken Beat, Rap to Jazz-Funk, Punjabi Garage, Chutney-Soca, Future Beats, and Jazz Rave while keeping the dancefloor locked in a shared pulse.

Oliver Night is a London-based producer, DJ and multi-instrumentalist whose music moves fluidly between broken rhythms, soulful textures, house energy and hip-hop sensibility. Rooted in UK sound system culture but always forward looking, his work resists neat definitions, instead favouring feeling, groove and emotional depth.

Stepping forward with his debut album on Tru Thoughts, Between The Lines, Oliver delivers a rich, genre-spanning body of work shaped by collaboration, experimentation and community. The album features Roots Manuva, alongside KAYA FYAH, TREV, Goldbar, Megatronic, David Mrakpor (Blue Lab Beats) and Jay Phelps, each adding their own distinctive voice to the project.

Recent releases from the album have made a strong impact, landing multiple Number 1 positions on Traxsource and Juno Download, with the latest single reaching Number 4 in Traxsource’s Broken Beat chart. The album’s momentum was further cemented with a sold-out release party, where Oliver delivered a live PA that was warmly received, marking a standout moment in the project’s journey.

Whether behind the decks or performing live, Oliver brings a deep understanding of dancefloor dynamics and musical storytelling, refined over years of DJing and production. No matter the format, there’s a clear signature running through his work, thoughtful, groove-led and unmistakably his own.

Cengiz is London-based DJ, producer, and curator whose sets fuse soulful textures with raw percussive power. Deeply rooted in the UK’s broken beat, garage, and jazz-influenced dance traditions, Cengiz is more than a selector—he’s a storyteller. His signature is the seamless glide from the rich, emotive depths of jazz-fusion and bruk to the peak-time energy of big-room house and techno, all within a single set.

As a producer, Cengiz has released music on influential labels such as CoOp Presents and Dance Regular. His tracks, like the underground favourite MOTF (inspired by Norman Connors’ “Mother of the Future”) and the soulful anthem JOY featuring David Kayode, have become staples on radio, in clubs, and at festivals, supported by leading DJs across the scene such as Gilles Peterson and Jamz Supernova.

A night of soulful house and disco lands back at Grow as Guava Jamz return for another high-tempo session. After a sold-out NYE throwdown, we’re buzzing to welcome Ariane V and Beavs behind the decks, armed with a crate of wax and the right intentions.

ABOUT THE EVENT

They welcome two incredible selectors in Ariane V and Beavs to soundtrack this journey through emotive soulful house & funk, leftfield disco, glistening italo and a hint of trippy techno as we delve deeper into the night.

Ariane V is a selector on the rise. Her reputation stems from spending years behind the counter at Phonica Records refining her unique electronic sound. Whether dialing it up at peak-time with breaks and acid cuts, or locking in for a heads-down ride, Ariane’s selections are rooted in a deep sense of groove. Emotive house cuts give way to driving prog, punctuated by leftfield disco, glistening italo and big piano moments.

Beavs has smashed it at our iconic Westival stage and most recently brought in the new year with us in a packed out basement of swooning dancers. She holds a regular show on Rinse FM's Bristol SWU FM station and has guested on Balamii, Noods, Void and Loose FM. She first started out hosting radio shows in Australia, on TLCFM and Gold Coast's Jazz FM 93.5 - venturing through multi-genre music history. Beavs is making her mark on the scene as a deep digger and soulful selector bringing an infectious energy to every set.

Joining them will be Guava Jamz founder and resident Idah, delving deep through soulful house and groove with some delightfully obscure edits slipped in. Having played at festivals from We Out Here to Westival to Queens Yard Summer Party and clubs from The Cause to EartH to Night Tales and beyond, his sets are designed to produce carefree dancing, big smiles, and feel good energy on the dancefloor.

Arrive early for this one to catch the full glow, phones in pockets and your finest dance moves please.
