Habibi Funk live in London

Experience Habibi Funk live on August 29th

Habibi Funk presents a live performance on August 29th, 2026, at Hackney Bridge in London. The musical project, spearheaded by DJ and producer Mark Ernestus, focuses on unearthing and reissuing rare Moroccan funk, psychedelic and groove-laden sounds from the 1970s and 80s. Their performances typically blend these rediscovered tracks with contemporary electronic music production, creating a dynamic and danceable experience rooted in North African musical traditions. Habibi Funk’s sound draws heavily from artists like Nass El Ghiwane, Rachid Taha, and others whose work wasn't widely circulated outside of their original context.

Hackney Bridge is a developing creative hub located in East London, situated along the Hackney Canal. Originally an industrial area featuring railway arches, it has undergone significant regeneration in recent years. The site now hosts a diverse collection of independent businesses including restaurants, bars, workshops and event spaces. The venue’s architecture retains elements of its industrial past while offering a modern setting for cultural events. It aims to foster a community atmosphere through its curated mix of tenants and public programming. The location is accessible via public transport links including Hackney Wick and Homerton stations.
