London Jazz Fest Afterparty with Summer Pearl

A late-night afterparty for the EFG London Jazz Festival at Colour Factory in London, featuring a DJ set from Marla Kether and Ri Mistry, with the singer and songwriter Summer Pearl also on the bill.

The event extends the EFG London Jazz Festival into the late evening, held at Colour Factory, a venue at 8 Queen's Yard that mainly hosts concerts with a programme centred on electronic music. The night is powered by the sound system collective Shortlist Sound.

Summer Pearl writes and performs songs that draw on jazz, soul, hip hop, R&B and reggae. She has described her music as a reflection of her past and a commentary on the present, with personal and political themes that include black and female liberation, love found and lost. Her live performances are described as relaxed and direct in their lyrics.

Marla Kether is a London-born bassist, producer and DJ with Congolese roots, whose sets typically blend kuduro, dembow, afro house and global bass with a strong focus on bass. Ri Mistry is a London-based DJ who worked as a radio producer at Rinse FM and now programmes Colour Factory. She also runs nights with Social Records Society, which showcase DJs she supports and focus on record digging.
