Origins: Rene Wise, Gloria Rose & Szeir
On Feb 6th, we head to the legendary Corsica Studios for our final party at the venue. As one of the first venues to give a small party from Bath a chance in London back in 2019, it’s feels heartbreaking to see them closing their doors later in 2026. So for our 48th party there, we present to you an extended 4 hour set from Rene Wise, as he’s joined by local regulars Gloria Rose and Szeir, with our resident Milad completing the bill. Rene Wise’s approach to writing music and DJing fuses together as one concept; where high attention to detail blends with a strong vision for storytelling through sound. Having honed his skills as a regular at the infamous Jaded parties at Corsica in the late 2010s, he returns for final dance in the booth. Hailing from the vibrant dance floors of the underground, you can now find Gloria Rose on the other side of the decks, playing in London best parties with a focus primarily on the faster and heavier side of techno, Gloria Rose invites you to surrender to the relentless beats and immerse yourself in a musical journey full of unexpected turns and surprises. Fast-paced yet seamlessly organic - this is what comes to mind when thinking of what Szeir’s main musical persona is about. Rooting from 90s to mid 00s techno, he keeps the golden balance between both new and old with leanings towards a rather animated part of the affairs. Join us for the final time at Corsica Studios! Presented by Origins Sound LTD. This is a 18+ event. (Photo I.D required)Read more

Teeth Of The Sea
"Blasting their way through all or any genre distinctions in a storied journey across the chaos and nonsense of sixteen years, London's Teeth Of The Sea remain true to their original mission - to set sparks flying at the meeting point between raw noise and rich atmosphere. Thundering beat-driven abandon, chaotic psychedelia, heavy melancholia and indelible melody have all coalesced and converged on their five albums for Rocket Recording. From the basements of East London, Teeth Of The Sea have forged forward intrepidly over twelve years, four albums and two EPs to become heralded as the UK's most adventurous and unclassifiable outfit in the realm of the psychedelic. As inspired by virulent garage-driven noise as austere avant-garde experimentation and driven by soundtrack atmospherics, jazz exploration and electronic dissonance alike, theyve outgrown their original influences (Butthole Surfers, Eno, Goblin, Aphex Twin, Throbbing Gristle) to forge a sound both richly celestial and acidically synapse-scorching.Read more
The Cinema Museum, London - Greg Chapmans Discovery of Witchcraft
A show of Magic, Storytelling, History, Comedy and Thought. In 1584, Reginald Scott released his book 'The Discoverie of Witchcraft'. The book aimed to expose the truth bebind what was believed to be witchcraft at the time, including a section detailing the methods used by magicians to create their effects. He hoped this book would put an end to innocent people being tried, imprisoned, and hanged for Witchcraft. It would not. Greg Chapman's new show combines magic, storytelling, history, comedy and more to talk about Witchtrials from the 15th Century through to the 20th Century, and does so in a way that is entertaining, informative, and thought-provoking!Read more
