Live Coding? London? Newsletter — October 2025

Hello again, it’s me: The person that emails you about upcoming live coding(?) events in London. You signed up to be notified at some point, so here we go…

Meetup — FREE

20th October — Today!

Join our monthly meetup today. Get into live coding, or see what’s being worked on in the community, or share your own explorations, questions, discoveries… and we usually end by jamming (beginners and experts welcome). The pub upstairs serves food. We make noise in the basement :)

Workshop for Palestine — FREE

27th October

Free workshop equipping you with audio-visual digital skills to fight the system with creative approaches to activism. Learn and share ways to use TouchDesigner and strudel to communicate a message. Although the event is free, participants are invited to donate £5 to Gaza Great Minds.

AlgoRhythms — FREE

5th November

Our monthly flagship event 💖

It starts with a meetup, then we move all the tables and chairs to make room for open slots all night where anyone and everyone can do 15 minutes of anything: Visuals or audio (or both) of any kind of genre. In recent events we’ve seen jazz, chiptune, house, trance, reggae, metal, drum&bass, ambient, and all sorts of different visuals to go with them. Come and perform! We really do let anyone go up on stage and we’re serious about supporting beginners through the process. You can also expect experimental new techniques getting tried out by more seasoned live coders. All in all, it’s a lot of fun to take part in or dance to or just watch and I really really really love AlgoRhythms!!! can you tell??!


Other events

Also on the horizon…

  • Pattern Club, 28th October — Our pattern friends are meeting up for a craft group and social, this time with Kumihimo disks and origami.
  • Bug Byte Screening, 4th November — Our animation friends are putting on a screening for international shorts that examine LIFE in both humorous and introspective ways.
  • Algorave, 26th November — SAVE THE DATE. It’ll be the final algorave in the beloved Corsica Studios venue before it shuts down, so it’ll be a big one.

That’s all for now, stay tuned for more! As always, you can always check badlondon.events for all upcoming events (no need to wait for these emails). And a reminder: Everyone is welcome to get involved with organising in our community. We especially welcome people who may feel unwelcome in other London communities. If you would like to get involved in anything at all, come along to an event and speak to someone :) and if you have any specific access needs for any event, reach out and we’d love to help. Finally… if you’re from outside London and you need help with travel costs to one of these events, please also reach out! We’re currently looking at what it would take to fund some travel, and right now we’re learning about that! Reach out to @TodePond anywhere or @algorave_london on instagram.

Finally finally: Peace and love, free palestine, trans liberation now, black lives matter, and join the green party? x
