Grow Live: Tashkezar

For our August edition of Grow Live, we’re welcoming two Grow debuts in one night: Tashkezar live in the warehouse, with Adam Baker joining us from Brussels to open and close the night from behind the decks.

One of the most exciting acts rising through the UK global music scene, Tashkezar bring psych guitars, funk-driven basslines, Balkan brass, anthemic synths and euphoric Arabic vocals into something they call Egyptian Psych Funk.

Originally from Egypt, Uzbekistan, the UK and the US, the band pull together vintage Egyptian pop, Anatolian rock, funk, Balkan rhythms, Mediterranean sounds and full-force groove into a live show built for movement. Think Altın Gün, Al-Qasar, TootArd and Dur-Dur Band energy, but with their own charged, joyful edge.

Opening and closing the night is Adam Baker, a Brussels-based vinyl digger, DJ and curator making his Grow debut. His sets move through global grooves from the 70s to the 90s, pulling together Zouk, Cumbia, Japanese boogie, Balkan sounds, Funaná and other danceable finds from across the world.

Expect heavy grooves, border-crossing records and a headline band making their Grow debut with a live set made for the floor.
