Joshua Idehen

An emerging artist within the UK jazz and electronic scene, Idehen was tipped as one to watch in 2021. For those who aren’t familiar with his work, Idehen is a member of the jazz crew Calabashed and has collaborated with the likes of The Comet is Coming and Sons of Kemet.

Idehen migrated to Stockholm two years ago, and has since become a rising creative within the Swedish music scene, working with producer Ludvig Parment on his own solo work.

So if you’re looking for a relaxed night out in Stockholm, Idehen has the recommendations. From jazz bars to poetry nights, swerve the clubs with Idehen’s favourite late night alternatives.

The closest thing Stockholm has to an illegal speakeasy from the 1920s. Smoky, tiny and full of surprises.

The coolest museum in Stockholm. Read that again. And it goes on 'til 10pm. Read that again.

This is where you see the best up-and-coming jazz that you can dance to before it costs an arm and a leg.

I have searched high and low, and here is the finest chicken korma Sweden has to offer. Trust me, I’m Nigerian.

I have never eaten here, but I’ve been to the poetry open mic at least three times and I can vouch for that. Guaranteed to meet a few characters every time, and the host is a gent.

Hear me out on this one: yes, I know it's a popular nightclub venue, for good reason. I went there in 2018 after a gig and four years later, I have a daughter.
