Mother of Mankind

After a short hiatus, Mother of Mankind is back in a revamped venue now with TWO floors of music with a refitted bar upstairs and the basement we all know and love down below. Downstairs will feature, as always, the Mother of Mankind soundsystem and we have an exciting roster of DJs to soundtrack your night.
