KAIDI AKINNIBI, LIDSTROM LIPERE + BARRELL JONES (DJ) 

An unmissable line-up of some of the most exciting players, beatmakers and selectors on the London jazz scene for what promises to be a fascinating night of forward-facing music of the highest quality.

Kaidi Akinnibi:

From South London, up-and-coming saxophonist Kaidi Akinnibi has already worked with an eclectic variety of artists including the likes of Tom Misch, Black Midi, Blue Lab Beats & Mark Kavuma’s Banger Factory. A standout member of London’s creative, vibrant jazz scene.

Although his fluent and thoughtful playing is rooted in the classic jazz genres, growing up in South London and learning from the Kinetika Bloco and the Jazz Warriors families, Kaidi has always had a multi-faceted outlook on music. His own music is, as he puts it “more vocal orientated, taking its influence from a broad base of electronica, jazz and classical music to create soundscapes reminiscent of movie soundtracks”. Though still in his early 20’s, Kaidi is already making his presence strongly felt on London’s vibrant, creative jazz scene.

Lidstrom Lipere feat. Rudi Creswick:

Tilé “DVo’ Gichigi and Axel Kaner-Lidstrom share a long music history, from the early days of the London jazz scene to collaborating on two albums with heavy-hitters, Cykada. During this time the two of them spoke of launching a duo project countless times.

Good things come to those who wait.

This project is an expression of their friendship, their love of music that makes your face screw up, and surrendering to wild and free improvisations, following the inner voice to revel in the beauty of the moment.

Barrell Jones (DJ):

Barrel Jones is a talented drummer known for his dynamic performances with jazz saxophonist Nubya Garcia and genre-blending artist Obongjayar. Beyond his drumming career, Barrel has made a name for himself in South London’s nightlife scene, curating a series of vibrant club nights. When he’s behind the decks as a DJ, he guarantees an electric atmosphere, turning every night into an unforgettable party.

MOROCCO BOUND x PECKHAM LEVELS: MISTY MILLER, THE LAST WHOLE EARTH CATALOG + UNDERDOWN

South East London’s grassroots space for books, poetry and live music, Morocco Bound are teaming up with Peckham Levels for a showcase of three of the most exciting songwriting talents south of the river.

Come and discover new, independent music up close and personal in a former car park.

Misty Miller:

“Songstress of the South”, Misty Miller is a musician from South London who first gained attention with her self-titled debut album in 2011 at just 16 years old. Shortly after, she signed with Sony and released her album, The Whole Family Is Worried. However, her experience with the label left her disillusioned with the music industry. In 2019, Misty returned to performing under her own name, resurrected and renewed. Now releasing music independently, she has recently released her latest single, Too Heavy. Though she has chosen a path away from the mainstream, Misty remains a respected figure within her local music community, known for her authenticity and unwavering dedication to her craft.

The Last Whole Earth Catalog:

The Last Whole Earth Catalog is a free form, stream of consciousness, meta jazz, joke on the bubblegum wrapper experiential timepiece, with the minute hand ticking on and the hour hand on whatever the heck the time is.

Underdown:

Underdown is a musician, writer and poet, originally from South Wales. His songs are meditations on memory, love and loss, and seamlessly blend the sound and soul of the early 70s with 50s rock ‘n roll flair.

When small town high-school student Jennifer is possessed by a hungry demon, she transitions from being "high-school evil" - gorgeous, stuck up and ultra-attitudinal - to the real deal: evil/evil.

Written by Diablo Cody, writer of the 2007 hit film Juno, Jennifer’s body is a modern feminist cult classic.

A special edition of Dembis Thioung’s PENCHMI: The African Drum + Dance Portal in collaboration with Little Baobab.

Immerse yourself in the rhythms and movement of Africa while nourishing your soul with the finest Senegalese food. This unique experience will be led by master drummer Dembis Thioung, along with dance movement artists Oumie Mbaye and Ofelia Balogun — offering a transformative journey through drum circles, traditional & contemporary African dance, and the power of the ancestral technology of rhythm.

The word PENCHMI (in Wolof is written as “Penccmi”) is used to describe the gathering of ancestors, transcending time and space, as well as the gathering of the elders of the traditional Senegalese villages, in the center of the community under a baobab tree. Penchmi is the space to discuss matters of LIFE, FREEDOM, and PEACE. Most importantly, it serves to remind us of the LOVE and RESPECT shared amongst each other.

Dembis takes pride in being guided by the highest Senegalese value of "TERANGA": welcoming, sharing and supporting each other in happiness always, valuing wealth not for its quantity but for the generosity extended to others. "TERANGA" represents the essence of Senegalese culture and it can be translated with the word hospitality.
