ADÉLA Versus the Machine

Towards the end of her whirlwind second headline show at the Lower Third in Central London, ADÉLA takes a breather and sits on the stage. “I’m new to touring, and I’m tired,” she laughs. If you’ve been to the Lower Third, you’ll know visibility in the 200-capacity room is low — the stage is barely a metre high, making it difficult to catch the action if you’re anywhere past the first few rows. By taking a seat, ADÉLA inadvertently disappears from view for most of the room, prompting the crowd to...

Greentea Peng Live At O2 Academy Brixton

Greentea Peng has a lot of love for Brixton. As she plays her headline show at the O2 Brixton Academy on Friday 9 May, she checks in regularly, echoing her appreciation for the hometown crowd. “I love you, Brixton,” she says in between songs. “I feel overwhelmed right now.”


Located just off the hustle and bustle of Brixton Road, the iconic venue isn’t too far from Greentea’s doorstep. The artist – real name Aria Wells – is from Bermondsey, though neither locale is among those namechecked in h...

Frozemode Live At O2 Academy Brixton

Denzel Curry’s headline show at the O2 Academy Brixton on 18 June is a 4D experience, and Curry looks right at home. “It’s hot in here,” he says. “It feels like Florida.” 


It’s utterly sweltering in the room – there’s barely any air to breathe on the balcony, much less down in the pit, where hundreds of fans are gathered to watch the Carol City rap pioneer play his latest record, King of the Mischievous South Volume 2. Close your eyes, and you’re in Florida, minus the easy beach access and ai...

Goldlink is Back in His Bag on ‘ENOCH’

“People are dancing,” DMV rapper Goldlink observes as he surveys a room full of people gathered for an exclusive first-listen of his new album, ENOCH. “This is the point,” he proclaims. “This was the whole point.” 


ENOCH finds Goldlink doing what he does best – blending hip hop with unpredictability, energy, and good vibes. The album is the rapper’s first full-length project since 2021, and follows a brief period of retreat. “I’ve been on a hiatus for a second, just to try and perfect this th...

The collection, titled Convivium, marked a welcome return for the Hamburg-born, London-based designer, who has cultivated a cult following for reinterpreting medieval motifs into futuristic silhouettes — what she calls “mental armour.”


Guests entered the runway set to find chairs scattered, shattered glass on the flo...

Natasha Zinko ‘PLASTIC’ | SS25

“You’re messing with nature.” “Well, nature messed with me.” The opening dialogue of the soundscape at the Natasha Zinko SS25 runway show slices through the room like a scalpel, introducing the crowd to the collection’s ethos: if plastic is everywhere, why do we try so hard to hide it? 


This season, the Ukrainian-born, London-based designer offers an antidote to the culture of secrecy that surrounds modern beauty standards, and the lengths people are willing to go to achieve them. The col...
