Alt Baile 2nd Anniversary

A second-anniversary night for the Alt Baile project, a funk-led electronic event held at Hootananny Brixton in south London, with DJ sets from CLEI and SAZE and several other performers.

Alt Baile began as a small circle of friends who wanted to give artists room to present their own take on funk. This celebration marks two years of the project, which its organisers describe as a place where people express themselves and newcomers become friends.

CLEI is a DJ and cultural producer from Campinas who moves between funk and hip hop, and has spent years building scenes and platforms for both. SAZE comes from the East Zone of São Paulo and began DJing in 2018, inspired by street parties in his neighbourhood. SAZE has since worked as a producer as well as a DJ, and is associated with funk ritmado and mandela. GBRL, JEANSZ, MAP and MDOUGL4S also take part in the line-up.

Hootananny Brixton is a concert and performance venue at 95 Effra Road in Brixton. The night is aimed at anyone following Alt Baile's funk and baile-inspired programming, and is hosted at the venue in south London.
