London

ABSOLUTE. x Kingsland Locke.

Get grooving and moving with @absoluteishere. We sit down with the Music Curator for Kingsland Locke as he drops a soundscape guaranteed to bring only good times and big vibes.

A brazen blend of genres that captivates and celebrates the club and queer venue circuit of alternative East London. Sit back, listen to the sounds, dance a little (or a lot) and most importantly, enjoy.

Music is an integral part of the Locke DNA. For each opening we seek out collaborations with local music selectors to curate a unique soundscape for each hotel. Showcasing neighbourhood sounds, as well as championing local talent including artists, musicians, DJ’s, songwriters, and producers.
