Everpress Presents Highpass

  • Rudi Minto de Wijs

2021 saw the world’s biggest online music merch pop-up go IRL, with a lineup of talent from all over the UK gathered together in celebration of the long-awaited return of nightlife. In collaboration with Space289, a new independent venue nestled under the Bethnal Green arches, I co-curated and hosted a Friday night showcase of everything that makes the UK music scene so special. This is about highlighting the intricacies of the UK’s music scene and supporting all the independent creators, venues, labels and artists that make it what it is. We also held a in-discussion with some of the industries leading names around drug harm prevention and how as an industry we can support the scene. This was in collaboration with The Loop and in aid of raising funds for them.
