Equal Parts touch down this July for their third outing of 2026 at Hackney Wick's best-loved canalside venue, Grow.
LA-based Apiento, a. k. a. Paul Byrne is perhaps best known as the founder of Test Pressing, an independent electronic music blog and online magazine founded in 2008. He curates the much-loved Sunrise Sessions at Love International festival and boasts a string of hard-hitting releases including the highly sought after 'Things You Do For Love' on World Building in 2019 and 'She Walks' with Alex Tepper on Leng in 2010 among others. Tailored squarely for the dancefloor, Apiento's recent Balearic house number 'The Yellow Place' (also with Alex Tepper) on Test Pressing's club-focused sub-label Test Pressing Tracks demonstrates his command of grittier, more energetic sounds.
Apiento is a regular on New York's TheLotRadio and hosts a longstanding 'Test Pressing' show on NTS radio alongside his New Age Dance Show on dublab. In the club, Apiento's DJ sets are deep and considered, and weave together house, techno, dub, and disco under his self-proclaimed 'floaty bangers' sonic signature. Equal Parts can't wait to welcome Apiento to Grow this July.
Ahead of the main event, Equal Parts residents Cymba and fairground will be on hand with a Balearic-soaked set featuring Italo disco and house rollers befitting of Solero season. Before that, Arnie - fresh from his highly acclaimed set at the beloved Gottwood Treehouse last month - kicks things off in the main room with a set spanning deep house, edits, and nu-disco. Outside on Grow's magaical canalside terrace as the sun sets over the Lea Valley, Equal Parts residents Ani and DJ Nick will deliver a special three hour b2b of blissful grooves to get the evening started right.
First record 7pm, last record 3am.
ABOUT EQUAL PARTS
Conceived in a warehouse just a stone’s throw from Main Yard, Equal Parts have been throwing parties exclusively at Grow four times a year without fail since 2018. Forged in the twilight of Hackney Wick’s warehouse heyday, Equal Parts set out with the humble intention of curating friendly, dance-focused parties that guarantee maximum aural and kinetic pleasure at Hackney Wick’s best-loved DIY venue. Staying true to these roots, seven years on, Equal Parts is now a bona fide Friday-night Grow stalwart, with their resident DJs lining up at recent parties alongside a roster of heavy weight and rising talent, from Secretsundaze, Michelle Manetti, and Wes Baggaley to Tia Cousins, Parris, Maybe Laura, B.Love, and John Gómez. For 2026, Equal Parts ensure top-tier selectors grace Hackney Wick’s best-loved dancefloor yet again, with two further dates lined up for Solero season and a friends and family Halloween spectacular slated for October. Expect boat party energy into the early hours with sounds spanning House, Disco, Techno, and everything in-between.
