About the Series
From The Crates is a free DJ series at Grow Hackney designed for anyone who wants to listen deeply and discover music beyond the algorithms. Each night explores a carefully chosen theme, whether a label, city, movement or moment in time, uncovering rare gems and hidden sounds. Audiences are immersed in an intimate canal-side setting where atmosphere, mood and connection come first. Each night tells a story through sound and offers an experience that stays with you long after the night ends.
