Commune formed as a club night at East London’s Dance Tunnel in 2013 with the aim to create a space where homegrown, UK DJs could take risks playing a wide range of sounds on a high-quality sound system; a place where like-minded people could hang out and enjoy music, share ideas and become friends.

The motivations behind the night, and the emergence of a community around it, form the basis for every subsequent project, including a roving cinema series, a professional community recording studio, long-standing radio show and more.
