Since forming in 1989, Mercury Rev has made a career out of boldly exploring the fringes of artistic perception, channeling colors and sounds and visions that always seem just beyond our mortal reach. The Guardian hailed the group as “a rarity in indie rock: a band who have continually evolved their sound, pushing at the boundaries of what rock music actually means over 25 years, borrowing from jazz, funk, doo-wop, techno, folk and more along the way,” while Rolling Stone praised their “majestic chaos,” and the BBC lauded their “shimmering psychedelic pop, immersive indie-rock, \[and\] spectacularly engrossing passages of sumptuous instrumentation.” The band’s 1991 debut, ‘Yerself Is Steam,’ landed on Pitchfork’s rundown of the Best Shoegaze Albums of All Time, and their 1998 breakthrough, ‘Deserter’s Songs,’ was named NME’s Album of the Year upon its release. Major festival and television performances around the world solidified their status as that rare group capable of straddling the line between mainstream appeal and progressive musical and technological experimentation, but the band’s journey was also a tumultuous one, full of lineup changes, setbacks, and heartbreak.…

Christian Kuria, the Vallejo-born producer, songwriter, and recording artist, has steadily carved out a space in the music landscape by blending alternative and contemporary R&B in a way that feels both familiar and refreshingly new. With over 180 million streams to his name, Kuria’s genre-defying approach has resonated with a global audience, showcasing his knack for crafting emotionally charged, sonically rich tracks that transcend easy categorization.

Kuria’s rise began in late 2019, touring the U.S. alongside Cautious Clay, which set the stage for his debut album, Borderline. The project introduced a voice that balances tenderness with an underlying tension, delving into themes of love, loss, and self-discovery with a striking sincerity. Drawing inspiration from artists like John Mayer, Stevie Wonder, and Tame Impala, Kuria creates a sonic palette that is as diverse as it is cohesive. Tracks like "Toroka" and "Deep Green" quickly caught the attention of tastemakers at CLASH, OkayPlayer, MTV, and major streaming platforms like Apple Music and Spotify. His work has also earned the nod of approval from heavyweights like BTS, NewJeans, and Crush, further cementing his place in the global music conversation.

November 2022 saw the release of Suspension of Disbelief, Kuria’s sophomore project, via the Arimé Arts Incubator. The album signals a significant artistic evolution, with Kuria digging deeper into the emotional complexities that define his work. It’s an album that invites listeners to engage on a more visceral level, challenging preconceptions with its nuanced production and introspective lyricism. His collaboration with Urban Outfitters—quickly selling out—further underscores his growing influence, not just in music but also in fashion, where his love for styling and aesthetics plays a central role in his artistic identity.

Kuria’s artistry is as much about the visual and performative as it is about the auditory. His ability to weave together these elements into a cohesive, immersive experience sets him apart in an increasingly crowded field. His work stands as a testament to his relentless push to expand the boundaries of genre and expression, making him a compelling voice in contemporary music.

From his roots in Vallejo to his performances on stages across the globe, Christian Kuria’s journey is one of constant evolution, marked by a commitment to exploring new artistic territories and connecting with audiences on a deeply personal level.

Now celebrating its 15th year, the Beirut Groove Collective is a collective of vinyl DJs, crate diggers, music obsessives and artists. For over a decade, the BGC has thrown one of the SWANA region’s most popular underground clubnights in Beirut, the BGC All-Nighter, which has built an international reputation for its distinctive sound and attracted some of the world's leading DJs, turntabalists and record collectors. In 2021, the collective brought their club nights to London with sell-out monthly residencies in grassroots venues across the city, as well as guest appearances at festivals, clubs and community spaces around the world.

At their parties, the BGC plays obscure and underground clubbing records from the ‘60s-‘80s from the Arab world, Africa and beyond, an eclectic mix of Lebanese ‘60s psych and Beat, oriental jazz, belly dance disco Arabic pop, Dabkeh, Armenian Estradayin, Ethiopian Bangers and Sudanese Jazz and much more.

**Pink Shabab** is a dance-pop and DIY-funk badass returning to Beirut Groove Collective for the second time. The musical project of Joseph Carvell, a midlands-born bassist and songwriter known for his smooth blend of funk, disco, and minimalist pop. His music combines sleek basslines, shimmering synths, and heartfelt vocals, creating a nostalgic yet fresh sound. Inspired by both classic grooves and offbeat romance and 80s UK bands likes Roxy Music and Prefab Sprout, Pink Shabab’s work often explores themes of love, longing, and nightlife. With a laid-back but danceable vibe, his songs feel intimate and playful, perfect for late-night listening or dreamy dance floors.

Knut Jonas Sellevold aka **King Knu**t is a Bergen-based artist, producer, DJ, and researcher.

He has done several releases and collaborations under his moniker King Knut, and has worked and collaborated with Foreign Beggars, Om Unit and The XX among others.

**This event will take place in EartH Theatre.**

For nearly three decades, WHY? have thrived in subverting expectations. Across seven unpredictable and adventurous studio albums, the band led by Cincinnati songwriter Yoni Wolf has stretched the fringes of psychedelic pop, hip-hop, and electronic music. No matter the genre experiments and thematic departures, their discography is remarkably consistent, anchored by Wolf’s disarming lyrical transparency. His writing is provocative, self-lacerating, and always considered, coming from a place of blunt emotional openness. The Well I Fell Into, the eighth full-length from WHY?, is Wolf at his most cohesive and poignant. An autopsy of heartbreak, the album charts the ups and downs of a devastating breakup while trading bitterness for healing. Self-released on Waterlines, Wolf’s new label that follows in the footsteps of Anticon, the trailblazing artist-run collective he co-founded, its 14 tracks stand as the band’s prettiest and most immediate work yet.

“Making a WHY? album is an opportunity for me to button up a period of my life,” Wolf explains. “I’m bad at realizing how I feel or how something is affecting me in the moment. Things just sit inside me, but writing is a way to really take stock.” Though the dissolution of a years-long relationship inspired Wolf to start writing, he considers The Well I Fell Into autofiction, a chance to interrogate his grief and his journey to acceptance rather than to air out the real-life details of a painful loss or pick at emotional scabs. “This is not a bitter kiss off,” he says. “While the songwriting was cathartic, I can see my life beyond some story or mythology I’ve cornered myself into artistically. I’m not getting stuck in sentiment like I might have in my 20s.”

The songs on The Well I Fell Into often feel like vignettes, jumping around time and offering glimpses into the turbulent emotions that come from personal upheaval. Songs like “Brand New” find Wolf navigating indecision over delicately plucked acoustic guitars as he sings, “Is it me / do I fight or flee? I do / But I need to be brand new.” Elsewhere, tracks like “When We Do The Dance” capture the bittersweet nostalgia of remembering better times, while the ruminating “Marigold”—which kicks off the record after the intro—ruefully embraces finality. Though most of the material was written between late 2021 and early 2023, the musical origins of grimly loping “Jump” date back at least seven years. Buoyed by a mournful piano arrangement, Wolf sings, “My nowness has waned / It takes valor to change / out of a pattern of shame / extract the air from the flame.” This is an album concerned with losing your sense of self and your attempts to recapture it.

Though every WHY? album since 2012’s Mumps, Etc. was recorded at various home studios, Wolf and his bandmates Josiah Wolf, Doug McDiarmid, and Andrew Broder tracked The Well I Fell Into with Brian Joseph (Sufjan Stevens, Bon Iver) at Eau Claire, Wisconsin’s Hive Studio. The move resulted in compelling and accessible arrangements that enhance the strong hooks grounding the songs. “On this one, I’m very interested in classic songwriting,” explains Wolf, who also enlisted a cast of collaborators to flesh out these recordings, including Gia Margaret, Finom’s Macie Stewart, Lala Lala’s Lillie West, Serengeti, and Ada Lea. “I want my songs to be able to be played unadorned by just one person and still hold up. Any production frills should only serve to elevate the song further without being relied upon to tell the story.”

Compared to the short, collage-like songs on 2019’s AOKOHIO, these songs breathe with lush, curated textures that feel patient and intentional. The palette is inviting, yet still unconventional—as on “G-dzillah G’dolah,” an at once minimalist yet lush ballad featuring strings, set into motion by a twinkling prepared piano. Harmonies also soar throughout The Well I Fell Into; the exemplary, diaristic “The Letters, Etc.” features a cathartic chorus as Wolf, in an array of choral voices sings, “Maria / The letters were a last-ditch effort, rattle of death.” “Nis(s)an Dreams, Pt. 1” slowly evolves with clanging guitars and a Beatles-esque outro complete with grand piano, strings, and a Greek chorus singing, “Keep buffing me off for a brighter day.”

The Well I Fell Into is an ultimately hopeful record. While it deals with messy emotions, it tackles them with a disarmingly lucid candor and a profound grace. There are no external villains and no wallowing, just a frank dissection of the past and a diligence to move forward. For that, the album stands near the top of the WHY? catalog as a document of an artist pushing through and finding some sense of peace. “I don’t know if it’s the ketamine therapy or meditation or what, but I feel I’m in a little bit of a second wind with my songwriting,” says Wolf. “I was in some kind of pit but I’m not really there anymore. I’m flowing now more than I have in many years.”

Ticket price includes a £1 venue restoration levy.

In this year’s first Downstream IRL, Aaron Bastani will be joined by historian Ilan Pappé. Pappé is a pre-eminent voice on not only the history of the Nakba, and Israel’s occupation of Palestine, but the Zionist lobby too.

The recorded conversation will begin at 7.30pm and be followed by a social.

Bastani and Pappé will be discussing the emergence of the Zionist lobby, on both sides of the Atlantic - examining the extent of political capture in Britain’s media and politics today. Just how bad is it?

Bastani will also be asking Pappé about Israel’s prospects moving forward. Liberal Zionism sitting alongside more religious elements has always been a struggle for Israeli civil society, but it feels increasingly impossible. Is the greatest challenge facing Israel now from within?

Plus: what is the legacy of Netanyahu? And how can people in the West help end a conflict that has brought such misery to millions?

The event will be hosted by British-Palestinian political economist and Novara Media contributor Kieran Andrieu and followed by a social in the bar, where you’ll have the chance to splash out on some Novara merch or get yourself a copy of Pappé's Lobbying for Zionism and have it signed by the author himself.

Novara Media will be donating 15% of profits raised from the event to Medical Aid for Palestinians. The remaining funds will support Novara Media’s independent, truthful journalism. It is only thanks to our supporters that we exist at all and can continue to provide these events.

James will perform known and unknown masterpieces: his interpretations from works of famous composers (in different music styles) and works from his own hand.

As one of the leading, young contemporary composers and pianists in Europe, James wants to inspire his audience and let them experience magical moments.

Vincent Lima crafts songs at the intersection between universal human stories and the vulnerable corners of his own experiences. Born in Chicago and raised in New Jersey, Lima began writing original songs around age five – continuing into high school when he became infatuated with folk music and taught himself how to play the piano. “After the death of a close friend, I began writing songs about the grief process and realized they were so personal that I should start singing them,” he says. This commitment to emotional honesty is palpable in Lima’s voice, which is simultaneously gravelly and tender. His songs are steeped in classic folk influences like Jackson Browne or Cat Stevens, but the modern, cinematic production and blues-inflected vocals more closely recall Hozier and Dermot Kennedy. Now based in Los Angeles, Lima has toured nationally with artists like KALEO, Darren Kiely and Jonah Kagen, and had festival appearances at Bonnaroo, Osheaga and Ocean’s Calling. His EP “Versions of Uncertainty” came out July 19th, and features the single “Orpheus” and five other songs that take inspiration from the tales of Orpheus and Eurydice to speak to timeless experiences of love, loss and hope in a world in which things fade.

Oklahoma City noise rock quartet Chat Pile have returned with their follow up to 2022's breakout album God's Country with Cool World, the new 10-song LP set for release on October 11th via The Flenser \[pre-order\].

Besides being the name of a largely forgotten (and panned) 90s film, Cool World makes for an apt title of Chat Pile’s sophomore full-length record. In the context of a Chat Pile record, the words are steeped in a grim double entendre that not only evokes imagery of a dying planet but a progression from the band’s previous work, moving the scope of its depiction of modern malaise from just “God’s Country” to the entirety of humankind. “'Cool World' covers similar themes to our last album, except now exploded from a micro to macro scale, with thoughts specifically about disasters abroad, at home, and how they affect one another,” says vocalist Raygun Busch. “If I had to describe the album in one sentence,” Busch continues, “It’s hard not to borrow from Voltaire, so I won’t resist – 'Cool World' is about the price at which we eat sugar in America.”Like the towering mounds of toxic waste, the music of Chat Pile is a suffocating, grotesque embodiment of the existential anguish that has defined the 21st Century. It figures that a band with this abrasive, unrelenting, and outlandish of a sound has stuck as strong of a chord as it has. Dread has replaced the American dream, and Chat Pile’s music is a poignant reminder of that shift – a portrait of an American rock band molded by a society defined by its cold and cruel power systems.

Though very much on-brand with Chat Pile’s signature flavor of cacophonous, sludgy noise rock, the band’s shift to a global thematic focus on Cool World not only compliments the broader experimentations it employs with their songwriting but also how they dissect the album’s core theme of violence.

Melded into the band’s twisted foundational sound are traces of other eclectic genre stylings, with examples of gazy, goth-tinged dirges to abrasive yet anthemic alt/indie-esque hooks and off-kilter metal grooves only scratching the surface of what can be heard in the album’s ten tracks. “While we wanted our follow-up to 'God’s Country' to still capture the immediate, uncompromising essence of Chat Pile, we also knew that with 'Cool World,' we’d want to stretch the definition of our 'sound' to reflect our tastes beyond just noise rock territory,” reflects bassist Stin. “Now that we had some form of creative comfort zones in place after hitting that milestone of putting out a full-length record, album #2 felt like the perfect opportunity to challenge those limits.” Besides stylistically stretching the boundaries of the Chat Pile sound, Cool World is also the band’s first record to have someone else handle mixing duties, with Ben Greenberg of Uniform (Algiers, Drab Majesty, Metz) capturing and further amplifying the quartet’s unmistakably outsider and folk-art edge.

The proverbial thread tying all of the experimentation on Cool World together is the depth to which Chat Pile dissects the album’s theme of violence, and the record itself is apocalyptically bleak. Sure, Chat Pile’s debut album was plenty disturbing with its B-movie-inspired interpretation of a “real American horror story”; what Chat Pile depicts on Cool World is unsettling not just from its visceral noise rock onslaught, but from depicting how all sorts of atrocities are pretty much standard parts of modern existence.

What is now the beautiful venue EartH (Evolutionary Arts Hackney) was once a long-forgotten hidden treasure which the team renovated and opened to the public again in 2018. 

With a jaw-dropping art deco theatre, an atmospheric hall for live music and club nights plus a lively, vibey bar; it’s a venue of three parts, all with different and distinct personalities. 

For a venue that is relatively new in the London landscape, it’s already made a big impact, with musicians like Self Esteem, Idles, Foals, Little Simz, Beastie Boys, Peggy Gou and many more coming through, plus a wider arts programme featuring top comedians, talks, live podcasts and experiential events.

Though the venue retains its art-deco looks and heritage, their set-up is modern and forward thinking, being one of the few venues in the world which permanently houses L-Acoustics immersive soundsystem “L-ISA”, making for unparalleled sonic experiences.


EartH Kitchen is open for drinks before and after events in EartH Theatre. You can also grab a bite from SHUK; (the street food pop-up from Borough Market), open from 18:00 - 20:30 before all EartH Theatre shows - offering delicious stuffed pitas and shawarma-salted fries.
