Notting Hill Carnival is right around the corner and so is our annual party with Swing Ting! This year we have swapped the club for Ace Hotel’s rooftop in Shoreditch for a special daytime party. Florentino and Fox will be joining residents Kazabon, Hootie Who, Samrai, Platt, and Joey B from 5pm Saturday August 25th.
RSVP here to get your free ticket, whistles, flags and dancing footwear advised!
While in Paris last week we stopped by the Rinse France studio for a guest mix. Thanks to Rinse France for having us it topped off a very fun Paris trip. Listen back to an hour of high tempo world carnival sounds below. Download here.
Our latest NTS show is jam packed full of new music from Wizkid, Vybz Kartel, Swing Ting and Equiknoxx, and loads more. Plus Kazabon played some Zig & Zag to celebrate Paddy’s Day. Listen back below, tracklist here.
