Awesome Tapes 3hour Set
About this event
We are excited to announce a rare 3 hour set from Awesome Tapes at Faith In Strangers on Saturday 23rd November!
Since 2006, Brian Shimkovitz’s Awesome Tapes From Africa blog has been shedding light on obscure and wonderful sounds from across the continent. As a DJ he brings the blog to life with sets blending folkloric pop, left-field dancefloor gems and hip-hop bangers. Traveling from club to festival to DIY space, Awesome Tapes DJ sets celebrate the music and musicians whose cassettes Shimkovitz has collected over the years. In 2011, ATFA developed into a critically acclaimed label, re-releasing records by African artists including Ata Kak, Dur-Dur Band, Hailu Mergia and Penny Penny. His DJ sets on twin tape decks explore deep, regional sounds using analog-anchored agility not heard or seen anywhere else.

Did you know we’re now a restaurant?
Before the lights go down and the volume goes up, we’re serving thoughtful dishes, seasonal ingredients, and great drinks – whether it’s brunch, dinner, or both. It’s not just about the party. It’s about the full experience.
Brunch Club runs Saturdays and Sundays from 12pm. Saturdays are lively and adults-only – DJs, big groups, great food. Sundays are slower, more family-friendly, and just as delicious.
Dinner service starts from 6pm – come early, settle in, and enjoy a proper meal before the evening kicks off. Whether you’re here for a celebration or a night out, this is where your evening begins.
Lean into the full Dinner, Drinks and Dance experience – start with a feast, slide into cocktails, and let the night take you from table to dancefloor.
