Jasper Tygner & Special Guest
North London DJ, producer, composer and multi-instrumentalist Jasper Tygner will be bringing a bag full of classic rave nostalgia, melodic breaks and high tempo house sounds to the club. Inspired by the deep history of London Underground club culture, his sound nods to some of the key movements over the past 30 years (such as jungle, dubstep and garage), subtly paying homage in an emotive and kaledioscopic fashion. The special guest is a past resident of ours who compliments Jasper’s take on contemporary UK underground dance - after 4 sell out shows their return has been a long the coming… Tickets on sale Tuesday 30th April at 10am BST, RSVP for priority access to tickets via the button.

About Charing Cross
Charing Cross denotes the junction of the Strand, Whitehall and Cockspur Street, just south of Trafalgar Square in Westminster within Central London, England. It is named after the site of a long demolished Eleanor cross (now occupied by a statue of King Charles I mounted on a horse) located at the former hamlet of Charing, at this point. Since the second half of the eighteenth century Charing Cross has been seen as the centre of London. It is the primary of the central datum points for measuring distances from London along with the London Stone and the doors of St Mary-le-Bow church.
