NAKED CITY – a one day festival with a backyard feel and a bracing line-up, that brings together a broad spectrum of music lovers to celebrate how London makes us feel.
With a wide roster of talent, bending and blending genres such as jazz, house, afro, dub and disco, the festival draws on the city’s central nervous system of musical influences to create a day-long party with a truly London soul.
Promoted and produced by the team behind Krankbrother, the festival showcases their signature pristine production and sensitive musical curation in a bold new output.
There are 8 million stories in this city. Let’s celebrate their sound.
‘Jazz is one of the most exciting new musical movements to emerge from the capital this decade. Naked City acted as a showcase of just why there’s so much hype around (it). Boundless energy, searing musicianship and the ability to have lots of fun – this lot have it in bucket loads. ‘
[Evening Standard Mag]
‘Dembow, ambient and the Great British rain – who knew these would be the ingredients for the sexiest 30min of the summer? It’s great to see this stuff in the spotlight, rather than relegated to a warm-up set or side room: a welcome antidote to homogenous big-room house and techno line -ups’.
[MixMag]
‘The rain did little to dampen the atmosphere, which reflected the open-minded nature of a festival of this billing. Naked City has a lot to take into its second year and its carefully considered curation and laid back atmosphere will ensure it becomes a main stay in the London scene.
[Clash Mag]
