Steam Down live in session from Maida Vale studios

Jazz collective Steam Down perform tracks from their debut EP Five Fruit live from the 成人快手's Maida Vale Studios

Steam Down is an artist collective, weekly event and music community based in Deptford, South-East London.

Founded by multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer Ahnans茅 in May 2017, the initial event was created to connect London based musicians and producers. Since then it has evolved into a weekly event where Steam Down artists and its extended musical family generate spontaneous sonic soundscapes reflecting their lives in the city.

Steam Down has quickly become a household name in London鈥檚 music scene, and most recently received two Jazz FM awards including The Innovation Award sponsored by Mishcon de Reya and Live Experience of the Year Award sponsored by Yamaha UK featuring Kamasi Washington.

Steam Down has quickly established a growing fan base outside of the UK through opportunities such as the Mestizo programme, led by the British Council in Colombia, where they performed to their largest audience to date of over 21,000 people at Bogot谩鈥檚 renowned Jazz Al Parque Festival. Every performance is a co-creative experience between musicians and audience where everyone's participation matters, regardless of language, background or nationality.

Throughout 2019, Steam Down took part in a variety of different projects, including supporting Sampa The Great on Jools Holland, headlining Boiler Room鈥檚 Festival alongside Afronaut Zu, Nubya Garcia, and Charlotte Dos Santos, as well as the release of their debut single 鈥楩ree My Skin鈥檌n November. Currently, Steam Down will be playing live from Maida Vale ahead of their of UK tour and new Five Fruit EP.
