When creative energy meets the right environment, great things happen — and that’s exactly what unfolded ahead of Outchealive’s sold-out show at Colours Hoxton this summer. The headline act, New World Ray, alongside supporting artists Ray Matix and Quancarlos, used Oakwood London as their rehearsal and creative base in the lead-up to what became one of the city’s standout live performances of the season.

Hosted by Outchealive in collaboration with Sc-i co, the event marked New World Ray’s first ever headline show in London — an electric night of futuristic soundscapes, alt-rap charisma, and unfiltered artistry. The performance drew a packed crowd of 250+ fans, all eager to witness the rising artist bring his visionary world to life.

At Oakwood London, we’re proud to have provided a space where this next wave of talent could refine their sound and vision. From late-night run-throughs to creative jam sessions, our rehearsal facilities became the incubator for what turned into a defining moment in London’s underground scene.

“The energy was unreal — we could tell something big was coming,” said an Oakwood team member. “Watching them rehearse here, then seeing the crowd reaction at Colours Hoxton, was incredible.”

As a creative hub, Oakwood London continues to champion artists, musicians, and curators pushing boundaries in music and culture. Huge thanks to the Outchealive team for trusting our venue as part of their journey — and congratulations to New World Ray on an unforgettable show that set the tone for what’s next.

Stay tuned for more behind-the-scenes stories and collaborations as Oakwood keeps supporting London’s most exciting emerging talent.
