Ahadadream is to headline a fundraising event at AAJA Deptford tomorrow (Thursday, 13th February).

All proceeds from the event will be donated to AAJA, a grassroots radio station and event space that is currently under threat from closure amid pressure from property developers and spiralling operational costs. Ahadadream will be joined by a number of special guests for the three-hour party, which will run from 8pm-11pm.

Before that, the London-based DJ will play a one-hour set on AAJA Radio from 6.30pm and host a panel talk on supporting local music venues from 7.30pm.

“London is the birthplace of some of the most influential scenes, sounds, genres and communities in club music,” Ahadadream said in a statement. “People from all over the world look to London nightlife for inspiration. Transformative moments on the dance floor spark creativity, inspiring others to build something fresh and unique, keeping the culture alive.

“I’ve been blessed enough to experience so many of those moments growing up in London, both as a raver and promoter. But sadly, most of the spaces where I had those experiences have shut down. If we lose our nightlife spaces, we lose a huge part of what makes the UK culturally relevant.”

The party is taking place as part of a partnership with Save Our Scene, a campaign which aims to support grassroots music venues, and draw attention to the problems they are currently facing.

Tickets can be purchased here, and you can donate to AAJA’s fundraiser here.

The party follows on from the release last month of Ahadadream’s collaborative single with Champion and Logan, titled ‘Big Boy Tracks’.
