2026-04-10 22:00 - 2026-04-11 05:00 (Europe/Berlin) | Club Subway, Aachener Straße 82-84, Cologne, Germany
One of a kind! To di Wurl! One Wurl!
Lila Iké has all the makings of a superstar—something she proved not long ago with her Grammy appearance and at the Lost in Time Festival in Kingston. At the same time, she remains more grounded than most artists in her field. She commands the full keyboard of reggae styles with effortless mastery. Long before she began conquering major stages with her dynamic live shows, she was already rocking sound system sessions like a seasoned pro.
Those sessions shaped her just as profoundly as the music of Garnett Silk and Lauryn Hill. Her exceptional talent did not go unnoticed by her mentor Protoje, who welcomed her into his Indiggnation camp as early as 2017. Eight years later, her acclaimed debut album “Treasure Self Love” earns a nomination for a Reggae Grammy.
Within the circle surrounding Protoje’s Habitat Studio in the mountains above Kingston—her home base—the term “Wurl” (Jamaican patois for “world”) has long been used for anything connected to Lila. Embracing the nickname, she turned it into a childhood dream fulfilled. Together with Joshua Waters Rudge, singer of the English band The Skints and an experienced selector, she founded Wurl Sound. After sessions in Jamaica, England, and Japan, the project is now touring Germany for the very first time.
Up close & personal!
Riddim Session #2 is all about breaking down the distance between artist and audience, creating an atmosphere of genuine closeness and connection.
Handling the warm-up and afterparty juggling are Cologne’s top selectors DJ Densen, D‑One, and DJ Adirock.
