INTROE SONIC x CLUB ARE: THE INTERVIEW

Before the party, there was an idea: Mika Kailes and Abdula Jama trace the community and creativity behind Club Are.

London nightlife has no shortage of parties, but few have sparked as much excitement as Club Are. What began as a vision from founder Mika Kailes and co-director Abdula Jama has quickly become one of the city’s most talked-about experiences - blending progressive sounds, art, and immersive environments into something far beyond a typical club night.

In our latest INTROE exclusive, we sat down with Mika and Abdula to hear the story behind Club Are. They opened up about the origins of the project, the desire to build community, and how creativity sits at the heart of everything they do. What started as an idea to bring people together has grown into a cultural space that keeps evolving and keeps London coming back for more.

Watch the full interview on YouTube below to discover how Club Are is shaping the future of nightlife, and don’t miss the INTROE SONIC DJ sets from Bollibubbles, Rawting, and Source.Link, created as part of our collab.
