KOKO’s three-night turn: Eartheater, Paco Osuna and Mustard

A compact Camden run gives three very different readings of electronic music, beginning with Eartheater’s live set and closing with Mustard’s late-night session.

For the Thursday–Sunday stretch of 27–30 August, KOKO offers a sharply drawn three-night route through the edges of the electronic spectrum. Eartheater begins it on Thursday in concert format; Paco Osuna follows with a Friday Electronic Nights session; Mustard takes Saturday into a hip-hop-facing late set. The useful thread is the room itself: one Camden theatre, three different scales of sound and three distinct ways an audience can meet it. KOKO’s own calendar places the dates consecutively, making this a compact run for anyone building a Bank Holiday weekend around a single venue.[1]

Thursday, 27 August: Eartheater’s live architecture

Eartheater opens the sequence at KOKO on Thursday 27 August, with doors at 7pm. The New York-based artist is presented by the venue as a multi-instrumentalist, composer and vocalist whose work brings experimental digital production into contact with classical composition. That framing gives the evening its focus: this is the live room before the late-week club programme arrives, with voice, arrangement and electronic texture carrying equal weight. KOKO lists the show across electronic, experimental and alternative/indie categories, an appropriately broad signpost for a performer whose materials move across those borders.[2]

The practical distinction matters. This is the early finish of the three, scheduled to end at 11pm, and KOKO lists the event as 14+; attendees aged 14 and 15 require an adult companion. For listeners who prefer a seated-hours rhythm, or who want Thursday to remain the musical opening of a longer weekend, Eartheater is the natural entry point.[2]

Friday, 28 August: Paco Osuna after 10pm

Friday changes the temperature. Paco Osuna arrives for KOKO Electronic with doors and opening at 10pm, running through to 5am. The Spanish DJ and producer has built a long international club profile through techno, minimal and experimental sounds, while his label history includes Mindshake. KOKO also identifies this as his return after two earlier sold-out appearances, a useful piece of local context for a night designed around extended dancefloor time and a club-focused headline format.[3]

Osuna’s slot gives the run its most direct club proposition. The timing, 19+ policy and 3am last entry make it an evening to plan as a late commitment. It also keeps Friday’s focus unusually clean: a single named headliner, a five-hour window and a programme rooted in the detailed pressure and propulsion of minimal techno.[3]

Saturday, 29 August: Mustard’s West Coast connection

Mustard closes the trio on Saturday 29 August, again under the KOKO Electronic banner, with 10pm doors and a 5am finish. His presence expands the venue’s weekend story from club electronics into rap production and DJ selection. KOKO describes the Los Angeles producer through work with Kendrick Lamar, YG, Ty Dolla $ign and Ella Mai, and specifically links the set to the bounce and club energy associated with his West Coast catalogue.[4]

The strongest shared reference point is Mustard’s work on Kendrick Lamar’s 2024 hit. The Recording Academy identifies Mustard as its producer and records that he collected three Premiere Ceremony trophies at the 2025 GRAMMYs before accompanying Lamar for the Record of the Year presentation. That history supplies real weight to Saturday’s booking while leaving the night’s musical shape open: the appeal is hearing a producer with a major rap record behind him operate inside KOKO’s late-night framework.[4][5]

Planning the KOKO run

Choose Thursday for Eartheater’s 7pm concert start, Friday for Paco Osuna’s 10pm-to-5am Electronic Nights session, or Saturday for Mustard on the same late schedule. KOKO lists 14+ access for Eartheater, while the two Electronic Nights listings are 19+ and request valid photographic ID; Paco Osuna’s page also gives a 3am last-entry time. Tickets, entry arrangements and set timings can change, so recheck KOKO’s official event pages before travelling.[2][3][4]
