Levi Love is joining us at Carlton Club tomorrow for MRSN’s fundraiser, bringing his signature blend of deep house textures and funk‑infused African rhythms to the dancefloor.

A DJ, producer and founder of grassroots label Mas O Menos, Levi’s sound fuses his South African roots with his Manchester home, creating warm, rolling grooves built for proper heads‑down dancing. With over 20 years behind the decks, he’s honed a style that feels both soulful and forward‑thinking.

Levi has lit up stages at The Warehouse Project, Sounds From the Other City, Beyond the Music and more, known for his energetic, engaging presence and confident, mixes that always leave the crowd wanting one more tune.

Catch Levi Love alongside Metrodome, kusasa, Chafik, Hamsaz Ensemble and Dance Out Percussion as we raise vital funds for Manchester Refugee Support Network’s asylum support work.

Hamsaz Ensemble is a powerful collective of musicians who have migrated to the UK from Iran, bringing rich, emotional soundscapes to the stage.

Formed in 2018 through an artist development programme at Sahba Academy, Hamsaz reflects the contemporary Iranian diaspora by weaving songs rooted in Iranian folklore with newer stories of exile, resilience and everyday life. Their music blends traditional instruments such as the Setar, Santur and Daf with Western instrumentation, creating immersive, layered performances that feel both ancient and urgently present.

With members from different generations, genders and backgrounds, Hamsaz have appeared at festivals including Sheffield’s Migration Matters and Didsbury Arts Festival, sharing stories of adaptation, hope and resistance. Their work often carries a political edge, championing the spirit of Iran’s Women, Life, Freedom movement and exploring the realities of forced migration through sound.

Catch Hamsaz Ensemble live at Carlton Club on Friday 12th June, alongside Metrodome, Levi Love, Kusasa, Chafik and Dance Out Percussion, as we raise vital funds for Manchester Refugee Support Network’s asylum support work.
