Love in the Endz is a London-based global collective and label, born from Reprezent Radio in Brixton. Inspired by the spirit of the favelas (or bairros, called Endz) in Latin America, they spotlight Latinx sounds and champion underground scenes worldwide. The line up for anyone can dance w/ Love in the Endz includes Bogota's cult techno producer Brenda, Chilean-born DJ Raff who draws on influences from the Andean regions of Chile, Peru, Bolivia and beyond, and Sofy Suars, a Spanish-Bolivian artist who uses both sound and visuals to explore experimental electronic rhythms. The full line up will be dropped on the day of the event, Saturday 2 May, on the Barbican website and social channels.
