Catch Matt and Jamesey at the famous Jazz Cafe in Camden on Saturday 12th August as they warm up the dance floor before Josh Milan hits the stage!

After an electrifying sold-out show in 2019  which Makin Moves was involved in, Josh Milan’s long-awaited return to the jazz cafe takes place this August for what will be an unmissable showcase covering three decades of music.

With ties to gospel music, the Grammy Award-nominated multi-instrumentalist, producer, and CEO of Honeycomb Music tackles each project with a level of spirituality and inventiveness uncommon in modern music.

Josh’s phenomenal “Shapes, Color and Magic” EP, 2021, explores some of the most innovative jazz and dance music rhythms ever released on the label. In this latest project, Milan pushes the boundaries and challenges our beliefs around danceable jazz music. As with his “6.9.69” LP, this EP is very jazz influenced, improvisational and timeless.

As you can imagine tickets have been selling fast so grab yours today!

We are pleased to announce that following a storming debut Kindred event at the stunning Omeara venue back in April and amazing feedback from all the people that went that we are indeed returning for part two on Saturday 10th June!
Kindred is a new concept from the Makin’ Moves & Mi Casa family seeing two rooms of quality music taking you on a journey through house music to eclectic vibes with a hand picked selection of djs from the UK playing deep/soulful house through to soul, boogie and broken beats!

Sean has got lots of great new music to showcase including his fresh new remix of Looking Glass which is out now on Makin Moves Records! Which leads us nicely onto Matt and Jamesey who will be in the house fresh from their much talked about closing set at Grow in Hackney Wick!
Taking things a little deeper on the night we welcome Stuart Patterson from Faith, who’s been at the forefront of London’s cutting-edge club scene for the last fifteen years. From DJing, promoting club nights, fanzines, mix compilations. He is regarded as one of the key figures in the London House music scene and revered by his peers and we can’t wait to hear what he’s got in his box for us on the 10th!
Making up this incredible lineup is David Bailey who has been craving niche for himself in the London house scene for sometime now with guest spots at Deep into Soul and now elevating to Suncebeat and Southport Weekender.
This time around the eclectic room is hosted by the seminal broken beat pioneers CoOp, who are currently ripping it up at their monthly residency at Town Of Brix! DJs supplying the sounds on the night will be Afronaught and Mark Force from Bugz in the Attic.
