A GUY CALLED GERALD (LIVE JUNGLE SET) - DJ FLIGHT - MC CHICKABOO - SHEBA Q - O.N.A + VERY SPECIAL GUEST

We’re back! After a perfect start to our event series in October 2021, on the 2nd April 2022 we return to the fantastic Colour Factory for another celebration of dance music & our community. Since we’ve been gone, Colour Factory has gone from strength to strength; with a diverse program really pushing the boundaries in London’s nightlife, featuring some of the coldest DJs, artists & collectives in today’s scene, we are proud to return to the east London dancefloor.

This time, we are inviting a real inspiration in the B.A.D. office - A Guy Called Gerald. Gerald will bring is world-renowned live setup for an extended journey into the mind of someone who truly lives and breathes music. Since our conversation with him on our Voices podcast last year, we knew we had to make this happen; and we couldn’t be more excited now it will. Talking of inspirations… we are honoured to invite another pioneer of dance music; artist, DJ, producer & radio presenter, DJ Flight. A foundation of drum n bass, Flight has a long and celebrated career in dance music, including shows from BBC 1XTRA to the Prison Radio Association, a multi award-winning charity which runs the world’s only national station for prisoners, and aims to reduce reoffending through the power of radio. She’s produced the acclaimed Windrush Stories podcast, and has taken her music into the art & film worlds to great acclaim. A proper polymath, coming to grace the decks, alongside MC Chickaboo. J

oining Gerald & DJ Flight is breakthrough star Sheba Q, bringing her deep, deep knowledge of jungle & clash sounds to the fore, as well as B.A.D.’s very own O.N.A, a student of breaks of all shapes and sizes, bringing the heat over from his Refuge Worldwide residency. We also have one very special guest, another artist & NTS resident deeply imbued in breaks sounds from the world over, who we will reveal in good time.

Again, we’re holding back a decent number of tickets for our community members at a heavy discount, for those that need them most. Feel free to get at kay@blackartistdatabase.co for more details on these.

See you in the dance!
