SPECIAL GUEST


For G-SHOCK, it started with the iconic square 5600.

For Elijah, it’s yellow squares — a creative spark and a call to action for the next wave.

TWO LEGACIES, ONE SHAPE

Now, those worlds collide at a free secret rave in East London, as we team up with G-SHOCK, Riot Noise and Back2Back DJ Battle to spotlight the future of grassroots dance music.

Elijah is a DJ, writer, and cultural connector based in London. Throughout his career, he has navigated the independent music scene, co-founding the influential Butterz label, which has been a vital platform for grime and other bass-driven genres. Collaborating with artists like Flava D, Royal‑T, DJ Q, and Swindle, Elijah has hosted memorable parties and held a residency at Rinse FM, dedicating himself to mentoring others and amplifying diverse voices in the music industry.

Recently, Elijah has shifted his focus to discussions about creativity, culture, and access within the music and DJ landscapes. His online initiative, Yellow Squares, launched in 2021, encourages engagement and reflection on artistic participation. This has led to offline efforts, including lectures and workshops worldwide, with keynotes at major events such as IMS and ADE. He has also published a book titled Close the App, Make the Thing and released an album in collaboration with Jammz. Elijah's work remains dynamic yet consistently aimed at empowering others to connect with the music and artists they cherish. Follow him on Instagram for more insights.
