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 Bogotá’s renowned Jazz Al Parque Festival. Steam Down has performed at a number of festivals including Montreux Jazz Festival, Primavera, Maiden Voyage, Gilles Peterson’s We Out Here Festival, Love Supreme and Glastonbury’s Park Stage. In addition to this, the collective has also sold out London’s Village Undeground as well as Deptford’s historical venue The Albany three times throughout the five year period.
Since 2017, Steam Down sold out their first headline show at Jazz Café, headlined their own EU and UK Tour twice. In addition, Steam Down featured in the official FIFA ’21 soundtrack for their Blue Note Re:imagined version of Wayne Shorter’s Etcetera as well as featuring in Adidas’ official World Cup campaign with their debut single Free My Skin. Steam Down has quickly become a household name in London’s music scene, and in 2019 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 and has been widely recognised for its fundamental role within London’s flourishing Jazz scene. 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 is an artist collective, weekly event and music community based in Deptford, South-East London.įounded by multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer Ahnansé in May 2017, the initial event was created to connect London based musicians and producers. This year, Ninety One Living Room stage is curated by internationally renowned record label, artist incubator and not-for-profit organisation Jazz Re:refreshed.
