Second in the series of take-over events featuring various artists and Dj’s on the eclectic Funkiwala label.

DJ Dr Fix (Funkiwala Records) and DJ Caspar Sutton-Jones (Gearbox Records) will be spinning all evening in between live sets by the FUNKIWALA ALL STARS (performing tracks from the 2022 vinyl compilation release ‘This is Funkiwala’, on top of other musical inspirations)- and the labels newest signing YAMAYA - an eleven-piece collective of musicians from London and Brighton, giving a preview of their debut album ‘Senegal’ - which incorporates influences from across the great African continent including Afrobeat, Griots and Ethiopiques with modern tinges of
dub, hip hop and jazz - due to be released March 24th 2023.

Funkiwala Records was created by musicians Kishon Khan and Justin Thurgur, who for over twenty years have been at the heart of a global music community based in London. The label was set up to represent some of the unique music coming out of this scene – British Afro-Jazz, Sufi-Samba, Bengali Reggae, Cuban Funk, Mystic Dub, Brasilian and Cuban Afrobeat, Bangla Afro Latin Jazz – a scene committed to breaking down musical borders, and to giving London it’s musical accent
