New Year… New Day

After 5 years of running parallel paths, Plur and Gaffe finally came together in a way that felt so natural a celebration of everything we’ve both built and harmony of our forces intertwined.

What unfolded was beyond our wildest dreams. To see our complex sprawling in new formations and designs, filled with so many lovely smiles and impeccable sounds.

Thank you to everyone who made this space feel like home that day - the you dancers, our wonderful artists who soundtracked the day, to our heroes Parametrica, Rob at Recycle Vinyl and the whole team. Everyone’s presence made it what it was.

We could see this becoming a yearly thing :)

Warm Up In The Woods - Summer Closing

Join us next Saturday 13th September for our official WUITW Summer Closing rave, our last outdoor adventure of 2025, in the woods, somewhere in Raveland.

We couldn’t have asked for a better summer, and we are so grateful to everyone who has joined us and contributed to the magic over these last few months. Lots of new friendships have been made, tons of beautiful music heard, and heart warming memories made that we cherish forever. Let’s give summer 25 the send off it deserves.

If we do get unlucky with the weather there will be a warehouse on stand by ready to rock, so let’s all keep our fingers crossed that the weather gods grant us passage to those sacred woods once more.

Warm Up resident @jorgemartinsmusic will be stepping up to play the sunrise closing, alongside @aidan_warm_up_london on peak time solo duties. We also welcome good friend, founder @houseofgaffe and all round legend of the scene @lucagaffe as our guest.

As with all our WUITW raves, the location remains a closely guarded secret until 10pm or later on the night. Only those who have been verified and added to the private chat will receive the vital info, regular updates, and of course the sacred treasure map when the time comes. DM for verification.

See you soon ravers x

It’s taken a while to write this. I’ve found it hard to explain the process without it sounding a bit mad.

I left the old project with just a name, a crew I trust deeply, a handful of lessons I’d rather not learn again, and just enough cash to try once more - this time holding tighter to the values that make all of this worthwhile.

We came back from Waking Life in June with a set of ideals but unsure what shape Gaffe would take next. After a few weeks of deep digging, we found this warehouse in Edmonton. Big courtyard, skylights, and just down the road from where we ran those outdoor sunrise events at Bloqs a while back. The space made sense straight away.

After a week of late night planning sessions I scraped together what we had. Some money from the last space, savings from a job I’d outgrown, and a bit of help I’m lucky to have and went all in on it. Trying to build something honest to the scene, not just another venue chasing margins.

The shipping containers were already on site, but we still had to fight to move them. 17-hour days. Industrial racking collapsing. Forklifts threading through tiny gaps. Previous tenants hadn’t cleared out. It felt absurd half the time, and there were definitely moments where I wasn’t sure I could hold it all.

I’m 24. This is the first time I’ve really had to step up and lead something like this. Not just build, but hold it creatively, logistically, emotionally. Still figuring it out as we go. Still learning every day. But Saturday felt like something clicked.

No permanent license yet, no plumbing, nothing finished yet people danced anyway on bare concrete, under lights we strung ourselves, to music that spoke clearly to where we want to go.

We’re still building mid-use, still testing what sustainability really means and what form parts of the project might take, but something about Saturday grounded it all.

To everyone who’s helped carry this through - thank you. This has been such an intense last couple months, thank you for sticking by the vision and helping make it a reality. Leo especially, you’ve been both a mirror and a motor.
It really does take a village.

I’m 24. This is the first time I’ve really had to step up and lead something like this. Not just build, but hold it creatively, logistically, emotionally. Still figuring it out as we go. Still learning every day. But Saturday felt like something clicked.

No permanent license yet, no plumbing, nothing finished yet people danced anyway on bare concrete, under lights we strung ourselves, to music that spoke clearly to where we want to go.

After a week of late night planning sessions I scraped together what we had. Some money from the last space, savings from a job I’d outgrown, and a bit of help I’m lucky to have and went all in on it. Trying to build something honest to the scene, not just another venue chasing margins.

The shipping containers were already on site, but we still had to fight to move them. 17-hour days. Industrial racking collapsing. Forklifts threading through tiny gaps. Previous tenants hadn’t cleared out. It felt absurd half the time, and there were definitely moments where I wasn’t sure I could hold it all.

This is very much a slice of the venue afterhours- house; techno, tech-house & wonky bits for an hour 💥

Head to rinse fm SoundCloud to listen back 💙

From the Australian underground to Wandsworth Road, through starlit heights and ocean depths, @secondcousin_ ( @_moonshoe_ / @anaffisanaff / @animalialabel ) delivers a masterclass in deep exploration, marking his first UK appearance in years. Expect a journey through the hazy realms of psychedelic dub, where hypnotic rhythms and spacious atmospherics converge.

@_osmura_ co-founder @__caroune joins to guide us through mystical soundscapes merging ambient with deep techno, drum & bass, and beyond. @wetdreamzwetdreamz head mermaid @aquamarine.mp3 and @houseofgaffe boss @lucagaffe complete the lineup, weaving in their own distinct flavors of all things spiralling, dubbed-out, and ethereal.

This Wet Dreamz x Gaffe collaboration is essential listening for those who seek depth and atmosphere, served up in a cocoon of aquatic bliss.

Over the past couple of years, I’ve taken a step back from hosting events to focus on the next chapter for Gaffe. Just being a promoter wasn’t enough anymore; we weren’t able to offer the space for the range of sounds and communities that really shaped gaffe early on. While juggling a full-time job in software development, I’ve been working hard to bring this new vision to life.

@jayesh_live and I have taken some serious risks to get here, pouring more into this than we probably should have. The months ahead are going to be a real challenge with financial pressures and some aspects of licensing still up in the air, but we believe there’s a real need for spaces like this in London.

I turned 24 on Wednesday while setting up the sound and lighting for the space ahead of tonight’s opening, and honestly, it was the best way I could’ve spent my birthday. I can’t wait to see this idea finally come to life.

I’ll be on the decks from 9-10pm to kick things off, followed by @leoplur_ and some special guests. I hope to see you there.

If you need more info and would like to come, send me a DM x
