For our final show of an incredible year we’re delighted to be teaming up with our good friends at First Light for a December day party at Peckham’s Carpet Shop. We’re bringing the one and only Kaidi Tatham to town for an afternoon of soul, boogie, rare groove and beats, joined by OJ Residents Gilla & Russ Ryan, plus FL crew Rohan Rakhit & Soph alongside Shortlist supremo Donut. We’re also hyped to bring back Allysha Joy for her second OJ dance after her debut at Grow back in 2025. As well as being our first show at Carpet Shop this also serves as our 3rd birthday party - we couldn’t think of a better crew to celebrate with.
