Culture Shock

Archive note

Culture Shock marked IRIE Sessions' first collaborative activation in the United Kingdom, produced alongside No Noise and presented with support from Eventbrite UK. Held in London, the evening brought together music, conversation, and community through an intimate program featuring Grammy-nominated producer Chopstix, moderated by BBC Radio 1Xtra presenter Issra, with performances from Denz, Jameela Elfaki, Jamo Beatz, Mode Nads, and Ngozi Diamond. More than a panel or showcase, Culture Shock created a space where artists, producers, and creatives exchanged ideas, celebrated African creativity, and strengthened cultural ties between London, Lagos, and beyond - continuing IRIE's mission of building community through collaboration.
