ABOUT 

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; Addis Ababa, Buenos Aires, Clarksdale Mississippi, Dakar, Havana, Mexico City, Nashville, New Orleans & Sao Paulo – are just some of the cultural inspirations they took home to show their friends and growing London audiences

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 and 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
