The story starts in the name, inspired by jazz futurist Sun Ra & his band 'The Arkestra'. Ra's avant-garde approach to music, philosophy, performance, theatrics and constant innovation changed the course of history. Today Arkestra champions this way of creative thinking to push the boundaries on how live and digital experiences can be enjoyed
Brothers Tom and Ed developed Arkestra in 2018. Born out of a love for music, food and art, and inspired by the their travels around the world in search for sounds, tastes & lively spaces
Arkestra began as a travelling pop-up event, starting in a Tottenham Hale photography studio, with a 4-course dinner, art exhibition, live jazz & funk bands and Djs for 100 close friends. The popularity of this first event led to a series of sold out monthly live music and supper club events across London through 2018-2019. Soon alcohol, travel, retail and venue brands began to see the value of being involved as sponsors and partners, and so, Arkestra Presents was conceived
As DJs they took their unique brand of world funk & extensive vinyl record collection to clubs, festivals and private events around the UK & Europe, they can also be found playing regular residency slots in venues near their Brixton home
