Driven by an animal instinct as reliable as the moon’s pull on the water, the swarm returns.
This June, we gather once more at Aaja basement for our summer fundraiser. Spend the day between the sun on the terrace and the pulse of the underground. BYOF is permitted, art stalls are back with new zines and prints, and the basement is configured for those ready to get loose.
The swarm is only as strong as its parts. Get involved, disconnect from the digital world and allow the Funktion-One to command the rest.
Pay On The Door: £3 Entry Fee (Donated) + £5 Artists Support (Optional)

A-Z
MAL33T steps back behind the decks for a signature long-form set. Expect a masterclass in gravitational groove, a foundational sound that has anchored the swarm since its first transmission.
Marco Simioni dives in with a live set of hyper-detailed sound design, navigating the fluid space between deep experimentation and dancefloor basics. With a refined history on labels like Detroit Underground, Mille Plateaux and EVEL, expect a high-octane live transmission built to withstand the pressure of the depths.
Metrologic merges with the current to steer the basement into uncharted waters, navigating the tightrope between Techno and Electro. Expect a methodical, slow-burning escalation. A steady rise in density designed to submerge the room.
Svefn debuts with a selection of rare vinyl, blending the deep pulse of Dub Techno with the sharp energy of Acid. This set is built to clear the mind. A steady, rolling rhythm designed to help us reset and connect in the basement.
TOOTHPASTE is a newly formed project by Kristaps and Nas who make deep and progressive beats blended with live generative visuals. Expect a journey.
