Afro House in London.
Sundays at Haus.
Where amapiano meets afro tech — soulful 4/4 percussion, log-drum bass and the sound of a continent on a proper system. Drunch at 7. Afrobeats by 11.
Sundays at Haus.
Afro House drunch.
The new Sunday flagship at Cococure Haus. The evening opens at 7pm as a proper drunch — bottomless drinks, plates from the kitchen, a DJ laying afro house, deep amapiano and afro tech. At 11pm the room transitions and the Afrobeats party takes over until late.
Book a drunch table for the seated dining-and-dance experience, or grab a free standing reservation if you just want to walk up to drink and dance. Both options run the same Sunday.
What is Afro House?
Afro House is the long, hypnotic, percussion-forward strand of dance music that grew out of South African deep house, Angolan kuduro and the broader West African rhythm tradition. It's the sound a serious DJ leans on when they want the room to lock in for 90 minutes.
Tracks usually sit around 115–125 BPM, built on a steady 4/4 kick, layered percussion (shakers, hand drums, log drums) and warm, soulful melodies — sometimes vocal, sometimes purely instrumental. Vocals lean Zulu, Xhosa, Portuguese, occasionally English. The energy is communal rather than peak-time: the dance floor breathes with the music, then climbs together.
Key artists you'll hear in the room
Black Coffee, Themba, Caiiro, Da Capo, Culoe De Song, Manoo, Enoo Napa, Vanco, Lemon & Herb, Âmé, Keinemusik, plus the new wave of UK Afro House selectors who've made London a regular tour stop.
Afro House vs Amapiano
Close cousins, different feel. Amapiano sits lower at around 110–115 BPM and leads with log-drum basslines and jazz-piano flourishes — lighter, bouncier, more melodic. Afro House is sturdier, more percussive, more rooted in house tradition. Most Cococure Sundays run both genres in the same set; the DJs blend them seamlessly.
Three rooms.
One sound.
Cococure programmes Afro House across three London venues. Each room treats the sound differently — pick the night that matches your mood.
Haus
Sundays. The flagship. Afro House drunch from 7pm rolling into an Afrobeats party at 11pm. Bottomless drinks, plates from the kitchen, then the dance floor.
Enter Haus →Cité
Mid-week Afro House nights in a more intimate cocktail-lounge format. Lower BPM, deeper cuts, late finish. Booth bookings recommended.
Enter Cité →TWNTY7
Late-night Afro House sets dropped into the weekend rotation. Loud, high-energy, club-format. Tables and bottles for the bigger groups.
Enter TWNTY7 →Good to know.
What is Afro House?
Afro House is a percussive, dance-floor electronic genre rooted in South African deep house, Angolan kuduro and West African rhythm traditions. Think driving 4/4 kick patterns, layered percussion (shakers, claps, log drums), soulful vocals — often in Zulu, Xhosa, Portuguese — and BPMs sitting around 115–125. It's the sound of artists like Black Coffee, Themba, Da Capo and Caiiro: warm, hypnotic, made for long sessions on a proper sound system.
Where can I hear Afro House in London?
Cococure runs an Afro House programme across three Stratford and Aldgate venues — most notably Haus Stratford on Sundays, where the day starts as an Afro House brunch and rolls into a full club set in the evening. Cité Aldgate books Afro House nights mid-week, and TWNTY7 drops Afro House sets late in its rotation.
When is Sundays at Haus?
Every Sunday. The Afro House drunch kicks off at 7pm — proper menu, bottomless drinks, the DJ laying afro house, deep amapiano and afro tech. At 11pm the room transitions and the Afrobeats party takes over until late. You can book a drunch table for the seated dining-and-dance experience, or grab a free standing reservation if you just want to walk up for the drinks and the dance floor.
What's the difference between Afro House and Afrobeats?
They overlap but they're different sounds. Afrobeats (Wizkid, Burna Boy, Davido) is melody-led, pop-leaning and usually 100–110 BPM — built around song structure and hooks. Afro House is DJ music — longer, more percussive, made for sustained dance-floor moments. Sundays at Haus runs both back-to-back: Afro House from 7pm, Afrobeats from 11pm.
Do I need to book in advance?
For the brunch seated experience — yes, book ahead, Sundays sell out. For the standing reservation (drinks-only walk-in), it's free and you can register on the day, but registering ahead means you skip the queue when capacity is tight.
Is there a dress code?
Smart-casual on Sundays at Haus — wear what you'd wear to a good brunch. Late-night Afro House nights at Cité and TWNTY7 lean more dressed-up. No sportswear or work boots at the door.
Can I book a table for a group or birthday?
Yes — Sundays at Haus takes group bookings for tables. For birthday tables or VIP bookings get in touch via WhatsApp or email [email protected] and we'll set you up with a table and bottle package.
Drunch at 7.
Afrobeats by 11.
Pick your way in. Book a drunch table for the full seated experience, or drop a free standing reservation if you just want to walk up for drinks and the dance floor.
