What's On: Black Coffee

fabric x Origins BCCO
🗓 FRIDAY | 📍fabric
🎫 Tickets
Origins link up with fabric for a proper heads down session. future.666, ÜBERKIKZ and SHDW keep it dark and driving from doors to last lights.

KOKO Electronic: Sasson & Mont Rouge
🗓 SATURDAY | 📍KOKO
🎫 Tickets Here
Sasson brings the deep Afro melodic lane with plenty of swing and warmth. Mont Rouge match it with big synth lines and hypnotic grooves, a Swiss trio who’ve quietly clocked over 18M streams by building records for the club, not the algorithm.

Cooking with Palms Trax
🗓 SATURDAY | 📍Corsica Studios
🎫 Tickets on Resale
Corsica closing series energy. Palms Trax plus DJ Subaru, Flo Dill, Galcher Lustwerk and a Legowelt live set. It is sold out, so you are on resale alerts or you are not going.

Oblique 02 with Jane Fitz + Diamin
🗓 SUNDAY | 📍Vespers Club Peckham
🎫 Tickets Here
Early doors for two elite selectors on extended sets. Expect slow burn house and techno with left turns, not drops. It runs 4-10pm, perfect for the early birds. Here’s a sentence we never thought we would need to write: Oblique is a slightly skewed tea party vibe (their words, not ours). For those of you hoping to throw on a DJ mix during the work day, here is a two and a half hour set from Jane Fitz.

Origins x Colour Factory
🗓 FRIDAY | 📍Colour Factory
🎫 Tickets here
Origins bring the free rave back to Hackney Wick. House, techno and trance across the room with a special guest and trusted local selectors still to come. Free tickets are gone. £3.00 and £5.00 tickets, so you can’t really go wrong here.

Black Coffee
🗓 Fri, 22 May | 📍The 02
🎫 Tickets Here
For the first time in the UK, Black Coffee brings his orchestral show to London. A 12-piece orchestra sits in the round on a 360° stage, reworking his Afropolitan house sound into something bigger, deeper, and fully live. After sold-out orchestral runs and a career spent headlining the world’s biggest rooms, this is Black Coffee at his most ambitious.

Hype for the week: We Ready – Main Phase & Loganolm. Chunky low end, snapping drums, no wasted seconds. Built for peak-time floors when the room is locked and the lights are low. This one does exactly what the title says.

Chill for the week: god, give me a place – Holseek. Warm, weightless and patient. Soft pads, gentle rhythm, head-down atmosphere. Feels like the calm after the party or the train ride home with the city still humming.

Black Coffee headlines his own Experience series with a slow-burning, immersive set in the mountains of Pirenópolis. Key moment: 1:47:43, when he blends in The Rapture Pt. III.
