THEMPRESS1 upcoming event
THEMPRESS is a DJ, artist, presenter, cultural producer, educator & writer from East London. The ‘curated chaos’ of their genre-fluid style connects sounds and stories through the dualities of release and reflection. Their high energy club sets craft dynamic journeys spanning jungle, techno, footwork, global bass, and all ends of rhythmic rave exploration from beloved crowdpleasers to leftfield curveballs. With a decade of experience in radio, the airwaves provide space for their research into music history and passion for storytelling via conceptual worldbuilding across jazz, ambient, dub, hip-hop, and experimental electronic. THEMPRESS has been making waves with standout sets at Glastonbury, Outlook, Boomtown, Printworks, Fabric, Drumsheds, We Out Here, Dour, and Field Maneuvers. The breadth of their musical curiosity and voracity for the decks has seen them support the likes of Kode9, Fabio & Grooverider, Honey Dijon, RP Boo, and DJ Assault. They hold long-standing residencies on Voices Radio and Netil Radio, and have hosted guest shows on NTS, BBC Radio 6, Rinse FM & Foundation FM. A true community spirit, THEMPRESS is co-founder of Queer POC bass rave collective BUMPAH, a facilitator at the Good Night Out Campaign, and part of collectives Riposte and Pink Islands. Off the dancefloor, you can find them advocating for positive change for queer, disabled, and global majority communities as a renowned speaker, interviewer, and host. They are Community & Education…
