Two of London’s most respected deep house brands Makin’ Moves and Mi Casa unite once again for a new event “Kindred” taking place at Omeara in London Bridge on Saturday 22nd April.

Kindred is a new concept seeing two rooms of quality music taking you on a journey through house music to eclectic vibes and beyond with a hand picked selection of djs from the UK playing deep/soulful house through to soul, boogie and broken beat in room two.
In the main room you’ll catch Makin Moves residents Matt and Jamesey playing the unique brand of house music and they will be ably assisted by The Journeymen who are one of the most talked about duos’s in the scene right now. Paul Degallerie will be getting the room moving nicely from early doors!
