Olby's Soul Cafe

Hip-hop Love: A night celebrating hiphop’s heritage and 45 years of the breaks at Olby's Soul Cafe in Margate

7pm - midnight

Kurtis Blow is the first commercially successful rap artist, a towering figure in hip-hop history, and he’s coming to Olby’s for one night only.

Blow has been breaking records for 45 years: the first rapper to sign with (and release an album for) a major label; the first to have a single certified gold ('The Breaks'); the first to embark on a national (and international) concert tour; and the first to cement rap’s mainstream marketability by signing an endorsement deal.

A living legend of 80s hip-hop, Blow has toured globally, performed with icons, and shaped the sound that would define generations.

Join Olby's for an evening full of nostalgia, energy and hip-hop love.

Support: DJ Hooch: Promoter, DJ, music lover and street culture junkie. Hooch has played and promoted clubs and parties all over London from underground warehouse parties to some of the biggest events in the UK. Hooch is also the founder of the UK B-Boy Championships and will be bringing his crew to Olby’s.

Rob Hardman: Rob is a versatile DJ, known for megamixes and mash ups. Rob plays music across a broad spectrum of Dance music and has a love of early Hip Hop, hosting the Classic Hiphop and Electro show on Street Sounds.
