Highlights from our EPIC showcase at Kings Place

On March 22, Banger Factory Records brought its signature energy to Kings Place for a landmark showcase capturing the spirit of London’s thriving jazz community.

More than a concert, the evening unfolded as a full-scale celebration of creativity, collaboration, and the next generation of musical voices. Spanning multiple stages, the programme featured an all-star lineup of artists—from rising talents to established figures—each contributing to a showcase that felt both expansive and cohesive. Performances from Kinetika Bloco, Pete Horsfall & Electric Relaxation, Christ-Stephane Boizi Sextet, Ruben Fox, Rachael Cohen, and Mark Kavuma & The Banger Factory reflected the label’s ethos: music rooted in jazz, yet unafraid to stretch across genres and influences.

Rather than a traditional single-stage format, the event offered a multi-layered experience, combining live sets with DJ performances and panel discussions to create a dynamic, festival-like atmosphere—one that encouraged movement, discovery, and dialogue between artists and audiences.

The energy throughout the venue was palpable. Thank you to everyone who came out to support the label and its artists.
