Resident selectors and MCs:
Doc Murdoc / UK Corner / Peppino-I

Founder of Terroir Recordings, a label and event series built around personality-driven electronic music, Antron brings a rare sense of narrative and momentum to his vinyl sets. Productions supported by DVS1, Kush Jones, and Rose Kourts.

SLOW TEMPO — CALLIGRAPHY WORKSHOP
Slow Tempo is an intimate calligraphy workshop conceived as a slow, attentive practice.
Designed as a quiet creative pause, the session invites participants to decelerate, refine their attention, and reconnect writing with the body.
Through repetition, rhythm, and restrained gestures, the workshop explores the fundamentals of calligraphy in a minimal, guided environment — where focus is sustained over time and each movement unfolds at its own pace.
Open to all levels. Maximum 12 participants.
All materials provided. No prior experience required.
A drink ticket (£6.50) is included with each booking — choose from a Sonic Tonic, wine, or beer.
Wednesday 28th May. 7:00pm–8:30pm.
Behind This Wall, 411 Mare Street, London E8.
Bliss Out
Bliss Out is founded by three friends who love music, moving and making community. They centre house and disco’s queer roots on the dance floor and behind the decks. David Mancuso and the parties he created and influenced hold a special place in their nights.
Come through for a night on the dance-floor, soundtracked by highlife, latin boogaloo, disco, soul and early house.
