London venue KOKO has announced a series of new initiatives to mark its 125th anniversary, including the launch of a state-of-the-art recording studio, an expanded KOKO Electronic programme, and a calendar of DJ-led takeovers and cultural events.
Originally opened in 1901, the Camden institution has long played a central role in the city’s music culture, hosting artists ranging from Madonna and Prince to Amy Winehouse and The Rolling Stones. Between 1982 and 2004, the venue operated as The Camden Palace, becoming a landmark space for club culture with appearances from Carl Cox, Sasha, Paul Oakenfold, LTJ Bukem, and Depeche Mode.
As part of the anniversary celebrations, KOKO Electronic will continue expanding its in-house electronic programme with upcoming events featuring Armand Van Helden, Uncle Waffles, Beltran b2b Ben Sterling, Paco Osuna, Jazzy Jeff, Desiree, and more.
The venue has also introduced the new KOKO Recording Studio, located within the House of KOKO penthouse and equipped with Solid State Logic hardware, including the same mixing desk used during Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show. The space is integrated across the building’s performance areas, supporting recording, live broadcasting, and content creation.
Following its three-year restoration and 2022 reopening, KOKO now operates as a multi-space cultural destination hosting over 1,000 DJs, 300 live music events, and 300 cultural events annually.
