SUMMARY:NOOKIE & COLIN STEVEN IN CONVERSATION
DESCRIPTION:As part of their continuing series celebrating British music culture\, Soundstage Hi-Fi is pleased to welcome pioneering jungle producer\, DJ\, and remixer Nookie alongside Colin Steven of Velocity Press on Thursday 4 December. \nA foundational figure in the birth of jungle\, Nookie – aka Gavin Cheung – helped define the genre’s euphoric blend of rolling breakbeats\, soulful pianos\, and deep\, system-shaking basslines. From early anthems like “Give a Little Love” and Cloud 9’s “You Got Me Burnin’” to era-defining classics such as “Only You\,” “The Sound of Music\,” and engineering work on The Renegade’s “Terrorist\,” his fingerprints are all over the sound that shaped a generation. Nookie will be joining us to discuss his life in music and spin formative tracks on our Technics 1210s through the TPI system – a rare chance to hear these tunes on true high-fidelity audio. \nAlongside him\, Colin Steven\, founder of Velocity Press and former editor of the influential Knowledge Magazine\, will bring his deep archival knowledge of drum & bass culture. He’ll be presenting and selling essential books\, including Who Say Reload\, Knowledge 25th Anniversary\, State of Bass and How You Make Me Feel\, offering context and stories from decades inside the scene. \nTickets are extremely limited. Email Dean or call 020 8440 9509 to reserve your place.

Featuring rare archives\, unseen works and deep insight from the movement’s founders\, this richly illustrated volume reclaims a crucial chapter of graffiti history. \nB-Sides & Outtakes (published by Soi Books)\nCreated in an edition of only 50 hand-crafted copies\, B-Sides & Outtakes is an intimate\, collectable exploration of Rough’s studio practice.

SUMMARY:CLUB COMMONS LAUNCH
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Planet Wax for a Club Commons launch night with no talks\, no panels\, no speeches – just music\, movement\, and collective energy. Author Anjali Prashar-Savoie will be behind the decks alongside friends and collaborators\, soundtracking an evening that reflects the spirit of the book: queer nightlife as a space of care\, resistance\, and possibility. \nClub Commons explores how clubs and parties have long been more than escapism – they’re places where communities form\, solidarities grow\, and new worlds are imagined. This launch embraces that ethos\, celebrating the book not with words\, but with shared rhythm and connection.
