Florence Groove is an independent music and events collective born in Florence, bringing together house music, contemporary culture and an international community.

Our concept goes beyond the traditional club night: we create experiences in unexpected spaces, from rooftops and restaurants to cultural venues and clubs, connecting people through music, food and shared experiences.

Rooted in Florence but increasingly international, Florence Groove has expanded its format beyond Italy with events and collaborations across Europe, including London and Stockholm.

Our sound is driven by house music in all its forms, with a focus on emerging DJs, creative collaborations and building a community that moves with us from city to city.

Mahima Chaudhury is a 22-year-old, multi-disciplinary Artist and Art Manager based in London. Her artworks are a glimmer into her life experiences and the complex emotions she's associated with those moments. Mahima toes the line between illustrative realism and abstract surrealism so that the viewer is able to relate to her art literally and metaphorically. Her art embodies euphoric surrealism and through the use of perspective, she forms a relationship between her environments and dream-like concepts. Mahima’s inspirations derive from her perception of people, abstract forms of communication and her identity diaspora; she takes from her experiences and reinvents them into a more beautiful version of their realities.

Having been named one of the best emerging artist sets at Glastonbury by Wonderland Magazine, Still Pigeon are flying through the UK alt-rock landscape with the momentum of a band who know exactly who they are. What began in Oxford as mates making noise together has evolved into one of East London’s most energised live communities, where The Flock and the band move as a single, sweat-soaked organism. Sharp-witted lyricism, brash synth lines, and angular guitars power a sound built on tension and release, fuelled by BBC Introducing, BBC Radio 6, Spotify’s Fresh Finds, and sold-out shows at The Great Escape, Truck, Wychwood, and Glastonbury. With their recent EP out in Spring, the band sit on the cusp of a new era.

Hi, I’m Natalia and I’ve been doing henna for over 10 years. I was born in the United States and moved to the UK when I was 15. Coming from a mixed Pakistani and German background, I’ve always been drawn to my South Asian roots which inspired me to start practicing henna as a teenager.

Since then, I’ve had the joy of creating designs for weddings, special events, and even as body art. Henna is both a way of celebrating tradition and a form of self-expression. I love making each design unique whilst also exploring different styles, and also helping people feel inspired and beautiful through the art of henna.

Clara Thadea is about the most independent an independent artist can get. She writes, plays, produces, mixes and masters everything by herself, and sometimes with the help of close friends. Once that is done, any visuals will also be DIY. Her live band is made up of Thomas Dunk on drums, Sara Madaluni on keys, and Sam Clarke on bass, and they add some live excitement to her production that are in the genre of indie/alternative/very very chill pop. The unique thing to listen for in her act is her way of singing in a jazzy and almost middle eastern way. The main goal of the music (besides being good) is to make listeners feel for which there is no word yet, some mix between nostalgia and confusion. During the live act, it is a lot more cheerful than her lyrics plan for it to be, and these are always filled with metaphors and imagery which have a deeper and more poetic meaning than most other ‘pop’.
