Motherland at Grow - Surround Yourself with Sounds of Afro-House in Hackney Wick
24 March 2018
On a Saturday night once every two months - African-infused electronic music comes to Hackney Wick with 'Motherland'. This all-welcome party takes place in our canalside warehouse and is hosted by DJs Kitty Amor, D-Malice, and Sef Kombo.
Growing from strength to strength, each night is filled with warmth, love, high-energy and great vibes. With the power of music, Motherland births an ever extending family as they become one in this sound. In the summer months, Motherland ventures into a more soulful side of the African influence. With the comfort of the great British weather, these sultry sounds feature on the canal-side of Grow from earlier hours in the day before digging deeper and hitting harder 4/4 beats after we move inside as the sun goes down.
