Run the Riddim: Faze Miyake + YGG | Sat 11 June | Suki10c | From £5
A whole year after Run the Riddum welcomed legendary grime DJ Spooky to Suki10c, the stage is set for a London takeover as producer/DJ Faze Miyake sets the graffiti-adorned venue alight yet again. Whether or not you’ve heard his name before, there’s a good chance you’ll have heard Miyake’s music, with his distinctively dark, grimey instrumentals frequently finding their way onto the legal and pirate airwaves alike. Also representing London are YGG – short for You Get Grime – an emergent group poised to take 2016 by storm. See our feature here.
