DeepDig: Auntie Flo (Extended Set) // Kate Hutchinson

For our next DeepDig, we welcome Auntie Flo for a rare four-hour extended set, along with Kate Hutchinson building the dancefloor.

ABOUT THE EVENT

DeepDig is about time and trust. Letting a selector stretch out. Letting the dancefloor unfold gradually. Two extended journeys. Seven hours of sound. A space to listen deeply and move freely.

Described by The Guardian as “taking World Music into the future”, Auntie Flo has spent the past decade building a body of work rooted in rhythm, ecology and connection. He has become one of the most adventurous DJs of his generation, carrying a global sensibility shaped by sets everywhere from Panorama Bar and Fabric to Glastonbury, Havana and beyond.

His releases span Brownswood, Kompakt, Disco Halal and Huntleys and Palmers, alongside his own Highlife and A State of Flo imprints. 2018’s Radio Highlife won the Scottish Album of the Year award and cemented his reputation for weaving highlife, house and percussive electronics into something expansive and emotionally open. Recent album In My Dreams I’m a Bird and I’m Free continues that trajectory, balancing spiritual warmth with dancefloor weight.

A four hour set with Auntie Flo is not about quick hits. It is about immersion. Tracing lines between continents and communities. Letting rhythm do its slow work.

Warming things up for over three hours is Kate Hutchinson, a respected journalist, broadcaster and DJ. Formerly of Worldwide FM and now hosting a fortnightly Soho Radio show, she moves across rhythmic, percussive dance music from around the globe with depth and intention. Expect a patient, embodied opening that sets the tone properly.

This one is a real musical gift. Settle in early, find your spot, and let the night run its full course.
