EartH (Evolutionary Arts Hackney)

You'll find EartH tucked away on a stretch of Stoke Newington Road that's seen proper regeneration over the past decade. It's the kind of venue that doesn't shout about itself—the industrial brick facade and no-nonsense entrance give nothing away. Inside, you're looking at a seriously ambitious operation: a proper basement club with a serious sound system, a ground-floor bar and lounge space, and upstairs areas devoted to live performance and installations. The programming bounces between electronic music, live bands, theatre, and actual art exhibitions, which means your Thursday might be techno whilst your Saturday could be experimental jazz or a leftfield indie night.
