He has won many international tournaments of “House Dance” and is known for his connections to the artistry collective “The Soulshifters” as well as the legendary dance crew “Circle of Fire.” As his time in the study and practice of American “club dance” has continued to mature, his love and dedication for music have also matured.

Josh Milan Live @ Jazz Cafe – Thurs 4th July – Limited £15 tickets

Catch Matt and Jamesey at the famous Jazz Cafe in Camden on Thursday 4th July as they warm up the dance floor before Josh Milan hits the stage!

After an electrifying sold-out show last summer which Makin Moves was involved in, Josh Milan’s long-awaited return to the jazz cafe takes place this August for what will be an unmissable showcase covering three decades of music.

With ties to gospel music, the Grammy Award-nominated multi-instrumentalist, producer, and CEO of Honeycomb Music tackles each project with a level of spirituality and inventiveness uncommon in modern music.

Josh’s phenomenal “Shapes, Color and Magic” EP, 2021, explores some of the most innovative jazz and dance music rhythms ever released on the label. In this latest project, Milan pushes the boundaries and challenges our beliefs around danceable jazz music. As with his “6.9.69” LP, this EP is very jazz influenced, improvisational and timeless.

As you can imagine tickets have been selling fast so grab yours today!

General tickets are priced at £25 but you can get a special discounted £15 ticket from the link below for a limited period!
