Homerton’s finest, Unknown T, has recently taken the rap game by storm, with a meticulously crafted and cinematically inspired album announcement. The 24-year-old released a minute long trailer, which, along with the album name itself, is inspired by the 2006 drama, Blood Diamond. It also features British-Nigerian designer and artist, Olaolu Slawn, who plays the East London rapper’s younger self.
Alongside this announcement came the release of a new single, Bon Appétit, and a compilation of the same name, collating eight of his most recent releases.
There is a lot of hype around Unknown T’s name, and for good reason. He took to the stage at KOKO Camden last week and is the latest individual in the mix to realise that there is only one way to follow up a sold-out show… a GAFFER after party.
As always, we opened the doors of Windmill, Soho, to welcome an exclusive, invite-only guestlist that comprised of Unknown T’s friends, family, and some heavyweight industry compatriots, including R&B sensation, Brent Faiyaz.
All that attended had the pleasure of taking in the sounds of some incredible DJs in Chef Dee, Jeenius, and Lilo, spinning an array of eclectic mixes to keep us entertained from start to finish.
GAFFER stepped behind the scenes ahead of the show to capture the atmosphere and speak with Feng Chen Wang about the emotional threads woven through her latest work, the power of collaboration, and what it means to create with intention in today’s fashion landscape.
We closed out 2024 in true GAFFER fashion with an exclusive rooftop party at The Nest: Treehouse to celebrate! Santa brought gifts, his elves brought the vibes, along with a fire DJ lineup led by our friends WAY2LATE who kept us dancing all night.

We closed out 2023 in signature GAFFER style with a Christmas celebration to remember. Linking up with London collective Kin Kin for the second time, we enjoyed an unforgettable night. Some say they haven't seen Santa since.
We couldn’t wait a month for our GAFFER Christmas Party, so we thought we’d give you a taste of what to expect. We called in Kin Kin, a collective of some of London’s strongest DJ and music talent. We’ve collaborated on many events, and they’ve always been something to rave about. But you know what they say… if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
