Destination Old Market - A Sound Odyssey 2nd Nov at Old Market
Headfirst Editor's Pick

"Sell out warning! Free entry….with a lineup this good? Mandatory urban treasure hunt for local experimental sounds buried somewhere amongst Old Market’s maze of shops, restaurants and little-known spaces. Featuring a stacked dread’n’bass takeover from the sprawling Young Echo collective, Grove’s partner in crime EJ:Akin, upful amapiano and UKF from Josephine Gyasi + much much more."
