A Night in Space: A Kenny Hawkes Tribute

Kenny Hawkes passed away last month, leaving London’s dance-music community with a heavy heart. Now, his friends and collaborators gather tonight at East Village for a tribute to the dynamic DJ, promoter and producer in the form of a one-night revival of Space, the midweek party that Hawkes and his partner-in-crime Luke Solomon ran from 1995 until 2002.

They explain: “In 1995 Kenny Hawkes and Luke Solomon formed the night, Space at a club called Bar Rumba in central London. Over the 7 years that it existed, it hosted some of the greatest DJs of its era, some of whom were lesser known at the time but have gone on to become household names. Kenny was the driving force of the club, and with his enthusiasm and dedication he helped create atmosphere both with fellow DJs and dedicated Space attendees. The club was not only a place where you could hear music you couldn’t hear anywhere else, it was also a catalyst for life-long friendships.

“In the spirit of Space and Kenny Hawkes, we intend to celebrate that once more…

“Join us as we gather together with Kenny’s friends to celebrate Kenny’s life and his effect on the people lucky enough to have known him either personally or through his music.

“A dance music legend whose friendship, good humour and beaming smile touched the lives of so many people in such a positive way, we’ll sorely miss you Kenny.

“The party will kick off at 6.30pm for those wishing to come straight from work and will run until 3.30am.”

Featuring two floors, the lineup for the night includes Andy Mac, Ashley Beedle, Bob Jones, Colin Dale, Darren Emerson, Dave Angel, Earl Gateshead, Elliot Eastwick, Femi B, Jon Marsh, Jim Masters, Justin Harris, Justin Robertson, Luke Solomon, Phil Asher, Stuart Patterson, Rob Mello, Rocky & Diesel, Terry Francis, Terry Farley, Tom Middleton, Zaki Dee, and special guest Derrick Carter.
