Born from the vision of founders Fred and Freddy back in 2013, Keep Hush started life as a blog and developed into a live-streaming experiment where the community is king. Fast forward, and Keep Hush is a household name for music heads; hosting regular parties and events watched the world over. Upping the levels this February, Keep Hush announce their biggest project yet – ‘SECRET LOCATION’ a four-week pop-up running from 19.02.2020 to 15.03.2020 out of Dalston, East London.
