How It Started 6 - 100% Vinyl - Digital + Blackeye MC, SHAWK, Hickey, Badly Drawn Banana

HOW IT STARTED 6

We are back for a 6th round of all-vinyl sessions, exploring the depth and breadth of Drum & Bass, Jungle and more.

How It Started is quickly gaining a reputation for being a go-to London night for Drum & Bass and Jungle fans, with quality selections, a friendly crowd and an energetic dancefloor. This time we are at new venue Cu, which at a slightly smaller capacity of 150 makes this one an extra intimate affair.

We are absolutely buzzing to invite Digital to headline. As founder of Function Records and co-founder of Phantom Audio alongside Spirit, and with releases on Metalheadz and C.I.A., Digital is a certified legend of the scene.

On mic duties we have Blackeye MC, a regular feature at Rupture with previous bookings on label showcases from Metalheadz, AKO and Hardware. With a background including a series of radio residencies, the quality of his hosting is top-tier and we can't wait to welcome him.

Opening the night is Badly Drawn Banana, a lover of all things dance music. With sets alongside the likes of Barry Can't Swim and Model Man, at venues including Oslo, KOKO and Planet Wax, expect to be taken on a journey from the off.

Back for two 90-minute sets are residents SHAWK and How It Started creator Hickey. SHAWK is a known member of the scene in Glasgow, where he has been recently booked to play alongside Winslow. With his quality record collection and clinically accurate transitions he knows how to get a floor moving.

Why 'How It Started'?

-THE FORMAT: There will be four vinyl sets on the night. We want to promote the format as a medium for sharing unheard music, as it used to be, and show respect for the art of digging.

-THE COMMUNITY: This will be a welcoming environment. The night exists to introduce music fans and DJs together. Community is what makes any club night work and we encourage conversation and networking.

-THE VIBE: The majority of today's clubbers have not experienced nights out without phones. We want you to feel the euphoria of hearing a new song (or one you know) without the need to video it or take photos so we encourage you to put the phones away, be in the moment, and dance together.

Arrive open-minded and ready to dance and we will do the rest.

See you soon!
