Carnival and soundsystem lovers unite!
COSTA DEL CARNIVAL
Lin Kam Art and Threads come together for the first time to throw ‘Costa Del Carnival’: a multi-space, one-day festival at The Cause in Tottenham - to celebrate and discuss the past, present and future of soundsystem culture.
Returning from over a year of no dancing to bring back a sense of unity, history and optimism.
Expect soundsystem stacks, incredible DJs and live performers from across generations, engaging Q&As, live visuals, art exhibitions, endless food and the best vibes… all rooted in a celebration of the reggae music history that is the foundation for the legendary story of soundsystem culture in London and beyond!
Musically, we look forward to admiring some true musical greats alongside some of the most cutting edge up-and-coming selectors around - connecting the dots from Ska, Reggae, Dancehall and Dub, through to Hardcore, Jungle, UK Bass, Grime, Garage and back again. Of course, paying respect to the Carnival ethos and spirit!
‘Costa Del Carnival’ will also give space to discussing the socio-political aspects of sound system influences in the UK, led by our team of writers and researchers including Edward George of the Black Audio Film Collective, to investigate sonic and socio-cultural connections across London and the UK. Look out for a forthcoming series of mini docs/videos about some of the artists, collectives and thinkers involved in the event, to get some first hand accounts of their work, influences and direct connections to the evolution of UK soundsystem culture.
Also… our 2nd wave line-up announcement is not too far away… more still to come!

FUNDRAISING
Giving back is paramount for us with this event. Thus, the event will act as a partial fundraiser for ‘Success School’ in Hanover, Jamaica. Sadly, the children have been out of school for 18 months and counting due to COVID-19, having a huge effect on their learning. Therefore, funds will go towards helping support their access to technology resources and classroom aids.
