Brixton Brewery and Darco Recordings join forces for new 'Darchives' pop up event
Brixton Brewery are joining forces with Darco Recordings to celebrate both brands' affiliation with Brixton’s heritage, culture, and community with a new pop-up exhibition.
Taking place at Brixton Brewery’s taproom from April 18-23, "Darchives" will present personal collections and archive photography that tell influential stories of both the musical and civil rights legacies deeply rooted in Brixton and beyond - specifically honouring activist Darcus Howe and the history of Railton Road in the process.
Founder of DARCO Recordings Darcus Beese is responsible for the careers of some of the UK’s biggest artists from Amy Winehouse, Sugababes, Mumford & Sons, Disclosure and Florence & The Machine - and his life will forever be intrinsically linked to Brixton and history it holds.
The week-long celebration will feature an exhibition, a pop-up gig, exclusive DJ sets and much more, kicking off with a private launch party headlined by UK garage legend WOOKIE.
The exhibition will be open to the public from Wednesday, April 19 for the whole week with a closing party on Record Store Day (Saturday April 22) featuring daytime vinyl-only sets plus an evening session and live show from a Darco special guest.
