An iconic music venue beloved by fans and artists alike, KOKO Electronic today reveals its autumn/winter line-up for the remainder of 2024. From current breaking stars like Ahmed Spins and Carlita to legendary figures such as DJ Harvey and Adam Beyer, the KOKO Electronic calendar is packed with a wealth of top tier talent, spanning every genre of the sprawling electronica landscape.
The quality of KOKO Electronic’s talent is amplified by a truly phenomenal venue. Adorned with a giant disco ball, the theatre is a room of majesty and beautiful design, with its relative intimacy (1500 capacity) and in-the-round DJ set-up ensuring that everyone is right in the heart of the action. The experience is completed with cutting edge tech in the shape of a pulse racing D&B Audiotechnik soundsystem and laser/lighting rigs mounted on the ceiling.
While KOKO is the reigning Venue of the Year at the LIVE Music Awards, KOKO Electronic has also earned acclaim in its own right, including a nomination for Best Venue at the Radio 1 Dance Awards and a place in DJ Magazine’s global Top 100 Clubs.
Highlights of KOKO Electronic’s autumn series include:
DJ Harvey’s only London show
A storied DJ with rock star vibes, there’s no-one quite like DJ Harvey who will play his only London show of 2024 at KOKO Electronic on September 28th. From the Tonka Sound System to co-founding the infamous Black Cock label and bringing vibes everywhere from Pikes to Ministry of Sound, it’s no wonder that Rolling Stone famously stated, “If Keith Richards was a DJ, he'd totally be Harvey… A libertine Englishman turned California surfer dude.” The night features a second larger-than-life character in the shape of Jaye Ward.
DJ Tennis: KOKO ‘Munchietown’ takeover and supper club
We’ve come to love DJ Tennis’s adventurous hybrid of house, breaks, indie and psychedelia, but his next KOKO visit also highlights his culinary expertise as explored in his series, Munchietown. He will be hosting a special Supper Club at the venue’s private members club The House of KOKO on October 10th, before presenting a livestream set and a pizza-making demonstration at Cafe KOKO the following day. October 11th will also include the main event: a vibrant KOKO Electronic set with guests Ryan Elliott, Marie Montexier and Doudou MD.
Rare extended set from Adam Beyer
The longstanding techno hero Adam Beyer is set to play his first extended set in London in over seven years when he hits KOKO Electronic on October 25th. An already rare opportunity to see him in action will be all the more special given the intimacy of the room - this is an artist far more likely to be seen igniting the dancefloor at warehouse venues or filling arenas rather than up close-and-personal in a theatre.
Ahmed Spins is one of dance music’s biggest rising talents, his reputation flourishing following his instant classic ‘Anchor Point’ and a long association with Keinemusik. Afro house is the focal point of a chameleon-like approach to genre, his passion for global sounds further reflected with his international Deep House Bible platform. As you expect, he will bring a stellar line-up to KOKO with him on October 26th with Birds of Mind, MĪMĪ x FY and Mayssa (w/ Anywhere Else).
Debut from cult favourite
Palms Trax will be cooking at KOKO Electronic when he makes his all night long debut on November 9th. The cult favourite darts across genres, his crate-diggin’ rare cuts taking in previously lost classics and classic tracks spanning Detroit techno, Chicago house and leftfield disco. The tunes will keep spinning until daylight breaks.
Carlita in the house
The Turkish/Italian artist Carlita is one of the biggest names of 2024 and her status is set to soar further when she releases her debut album ‘Sentimental’ on November 15th. She will celebrate that same night with a special set at KOKO, where she’ll be joined by Deviation / Radio 1 legend Benji B as well as a DJ set from Technicolour Records’ hotly-tipped next wave band Fcuckers.
Kerri Chandler 10 hour set
Legendary deep house figurehead and New Jersey great Kerri Chandler returns to KOKO Electronic on November 16th. His last visit was unforgettable as his Kaoz Theory residency ignited the venue, and he has big plans this time around too - a special ten-hour set that will keep the party flowing from dusk ‘till dawn.
Ame and Trikk b2b
A b2b all-night long party doesn’t get much bigger than the union between future-facing German duo Âme and their friend and kindred spirit Trikk, who has been a regular on their Innervisions label. As shown at select international dates, Âme and Trikk bring out the best in each other with live elements and carefully curated cuts across deep house and techno maximising the energy in the room - and that’s what they’ll deliver to KOKO Electronic on November 23rd.
Ross From Friends KOKO debut
Can you believe that Ross From Friends has never played KOKO? That’s all going to change when he makes his KOKO debut on November 29th. His DJ sets famously rip up the rulebook to leap across all electronic genres from lo-fi house to high-intensity techno via floor-filling bassline. The rest of the bill is similarly unmissable with Jennifer Loveless, Mia Koden and Leo Gosh all confirmed.
20 Years of Risky Road
Risky Roadz documented the electrifying embryonic stages of grime with cyphers, BTS clips and freestyles. With thanks to its creator, Roony, the lo-fi, self-filmed footage captured the early days of Skepta, Kano, Ghetts, Giggs, Chip and countless others before they became the household names they are today. Expect some very special guests on the night.
