Sports Banger<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>King Alpha Sound System<\/span><\/a> are set to host a\u00a0night of music in east <\/span>London<\/span><\/a> marking 90<\/span>\u00a0years since the Battle of Cable Street.<\/span><\/p>\n Taking place at Shoreditch\u2019s Kachette on October 3<\/span>, the event will bring together DJs, live music and a\u00a0photography exhibition curated by the two crews, with all ticket proceeds going towards striking workers supported by Unite the\u00a0Union.<\/span><\/p>\n Artists playing include Tasha, Jeanie and The White Boys and\u00a0Nerm.<\/span><\/p>\n The night comes ahead of the 90<\/span>th<\/sup> anniversary of one of the best known anti-fascist mobilisations in British history. On October 4<\/span>, 1936<\/span>, around 5<\/span>,000<\/span> supporters of Oswald Mosley\u2019s British Union of Fascists attempted to march through east London, an area with a\u00a0large Jewish population.<\/span><\/p>\n Thousands of local residents, trade unionists and anti-fascist activists gathered to stop them. After clashes between protesters and police, the fascist march was eventually abandoned, with the BUF<\/span> unable to pass through Cable Street.<\/span><\/p>\n The confrontation became known as the Battle of Cable Street, and its legacy has remained closely tied to the history of east London\u2019s Jewish, migrant and working class communities.<\/span><\/p>\n For Jonny Banger, founder of Sports Banger, bringing the anniversary into a\u00a0club setting is a\u00a0natural fit: \u200b\u201c<\/span>Fascists hate dancing,\u201d he said. \u200b\u201c<\/span>That\u2019s why we are honoured to be at Cable Street 90<\/span> \u2013 united in the spirit of rave and resistance.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n King Alpha Sound System, headed up by Ras Peter and Ras Joseph, will join Sports Banger for the event. The former is known for its roots in reggae and sound system culture, while Sports Banger has spent the past decade combining rave culture, bootleg fashion and politics, including its long-running parties and Glastonbury\u2019s Shangri-La Opening Ceremony.<\/span><\/p>\n The event is being organised with Unite the Union, which is also backing a\u00a0march and rally on the anniversary itself. All proceeds will be donated to striking workers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201c<\/span>It\u2019s about remembering the working class people \u2013 Jewish families, dockers and trade unionists \u2013 who stood shoulder to shoulder,\u201d said Unite senior organiser Joe Rollin. \u200b\u201c<\/span>It will celebrate the solidarity that defeated fascism in 1936<\/span> and bring people together to keep that spirit alive.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Cable Street 90<\/span> takes place at Kachette, 347<\/span> Old Street, London, on October 3<\/span>\u00a0from 8<\/span>pm to 1<\/span>am.
