The Oxjam Shoreditch team are thrilled to announce a one-night-only East London sound clash:-the Mr C and Normski (back2back) Loft Party, due to bring down the roof of an intimate East London loft space on Friday 19th September 2014!
Oxjam Shoreditch is proud to present the long overdue pairing of two legends of dance music who have had their roots firmly planted in the London club scene since the early nineties; Mr C and Normski are both iconic names guaranteed to bring a raucous and unforgettable rave-up to Studio Spaces E2, Kingsland Road next weekend, with the combined music knowledge and record collection to rip the proverbial rule book to shreds.
Capacity is limited to keep the intimate loft party vibe and tickets are just £10.00 with all proceeds going to Oxfam.
All DJs are generously donating their time and energy to the party in the name of Oxfam and Studio Spaces E2 have also kindly offered to donate 10% of the night’s bar spend to the cause.
This event is a fundraising warm up for the Oxjam Shoreditch Takeover festival which returns for the third time to the streets of EC1 on Sunday the 19th October 2014. More information to come on this exciting festival very, very soon.
