STEAM DOWN IS A BRTISH AFRO-PUNK BAND, WEEKLY EVENT AND MUSIC COMMUNITY BASED IN LONDON, SOUTH-EAST LONDON.
FOUNDED BY MULTI-INSTRUMENTALIST, COMPOSER AND PRODUCER AHNANSÉ IN 2017, THE INITIAL EVENT WAS CREATED TO CONNECT LONDON BASED MUSICIANS AND PRODUCERS. 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 HAS QUICKLY BECOME A HOUSEHOLD NAME IN LONDON’S MUSIC SCENE, RECEIVING 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. IN ADDITION, SKY NEWS PRODUCED A FULL FEATURE ON STEAM DOWN AND ITS FUNDAMENTAL ROLE WITHIN LONDON’S FLOURISHING JAZZ SCENE.
FOLLOWING ON FROM THE SUCCESSFUL RELEASE OF THEIR EP ‘FIVE FRUIT’, STEAM DOWN ARE CURRENTLY GEARING TOWARDS THEIR DEBUT ALBUM.
