Wahalaa Winter Tunup

It’s the LAST WAHALAA OF 2019 so it is only right that we close out di ting with a proper winter tunup.

This time we’re back at The Jago in Dalston but we’re taking over the whole place - with many of our favourite DJs who’ve mashed up the last couple parties as well as some new friends to add some extra pepper to the stew 🌶️🌶️🌶️ The downstairs room will be the main space where you’ll find the high level gbedu and up tempo riddims with live percussion alongside our DJs, and we’ll also have the upstairs bar as a dance spot where you can catch a breather but also a vibe.

Turn Up Room (with percussion from Pivotal the wizard)
Sippin’ T (BBZ) - Base chakra riddims
Dibs (ANIM Sessions) - Afrobeats & other treats
