What's on in Brixton: live music, DJ nights, comedy, club and entertainment news

Am at effra social.

Can confirm editor has the dance floor eating out of his hand.

It’s a great venue. Like it.
 
Sorry for multi post but was great to meet editor last night. Apologies for drunken gushing later on in the evening but was huge fun.

Absolute riot.

 
Anyone fancy some batshit mad Japanese hiphop?

Dos Monos (on tour with black midi) do their London headline show at the Windmill on 15 Nov.

It was a pleasure to meet you and I'm glad you enjoyed the night. I had a blast!

Here's some pics:

On checking the Academy to see whether it's safe to go to the Beehive, I see this very eccentric offering tonight.
Will the Beehive have enough beer to cope with this lot pre-loading and post-loading?

i wouldnt streess.....

 
That sounds quite good.

In general, I tend to avoid Brixton Academy these days, as most nights I'm interested in are 'late night' events where its mandatory to be aggressively funneled past a drug sniffer dog.
 
This was flagged up on Brixton Bugle.
Bureau of Silly Ideas - in the Valentia Place arches behind Sports Direct - are hosing this on Saturday 19th November 2022

Early bird £1.50 rickets sold out - but looks like plenty still available at £2.50
 
Earl Gateshead is in town this thursday as special guest playing a vinyl selection at Brixx Bar and Grill
alongside local selectors.

Anyone know of any venues around Brixton that could accommodate a dub and steppas night? Space wise anything from a hundred upwards. Cheers.
 
I did have an event lined up there earlier in the year but was cancelled at very short notice due to there bar and other staff coming down ill with the same bug. Thankfully i never incured any losses because we got the room and date on the off chance and no money was needed up front. I wasn't even charging much for entry, we just wanted to put a night on and play. Profit wasn't the driver. Will give them another nudge and see if we can do something before the summer season kicks in.
 
Tonight in Brixton! Live bluegrass and klezmer at the Prince Albert - starts at 8pm, free entry



We did a squat night at the Normandy many moons ago. My first ever set playing Balkan beats. I used quite a few tunes from this lot below. It's a bit chessy and real fun to Dj. Easy to beat match, high octane, bouncy and fills the floor. It ended up a raucous and successful night. Job done!






 
An addition to the list of Brixton-themed music ventures that I came across today while browsing Spotify. Locally-based jazz bassist Misha Mullov-Abbado has an album out in the New Year called Effra. The single is called Nanban and sounds pretty good.
 
I've heard Loki has changed owners.... I forget who the new people are.... Somebody Soundsytem...I've forgotten. Anyway this is good news because the venue is great it just needed more sound

I expect it'll have a name change. If anyone hears anything can you tag me please

Only been once as 'Loki' another time about 10 years ago when I think it was a semi legal space. Both times were fun. Wasn't it run most recently by the Fox and Firkin lot?

They were still putting on events in Dec 2024. I liked it best when it was Medusa with the fish tank.
 
I hope they're better at communicating their events! It was never very busy when I went.
yes they over stretched themselves, theyve got enough going on at the Fox in Lewisham

this soundsystem crew (id heard of them before, cant remember the name for the life of me) taking it over are likely a much better fit for it... im hopeful
