RECESS is where worlds meet.

Founded in London in 2016, RECESS creates experiences rooted in Black music and culture. What began as intimate club nights has grown into festivals, international events, creative partnerships and original cultural programming, while remaining grounded in the dancefloor.

At its core, RECESS is a meeting point.

• Music meets fashion
• Sport meets nightlife
• Local communities meets global audiences
• Emerging talent meets established names

That spirit has led to collaborations spanning global platforms including All Points East, Boiler Room and Corteiz, alongside independent communities and brands such as Play Piem in London, Backyard in Cape Town, P96 in New York City and Pablo T-Shirt Factory in Paris.
