RUGER @ SMADE LOUNGE (2021)
Ruger — Live at SMADE Lounge
One of the standout club moments of 2021, Ruger’s appearance at SMADE Lounge
captured Afrobeats at the peak of its global rise. His explosive performance,
signature charisma, and rising-star momentum transformed the night into a full
cultural takeover.
With a packed venue and an atmosphere buzzing from wall to wall, the show blended
nightlife, community, and performance in a way only the SMADE ecosystem delivers —
intimate enough to feel personal, powerful enough to feel historic.
Ruger’s performance marked his transition from breakout act to global phenomenon.
UPTHESMOKE — All White Party
The UPTHESMOKE All-White Party delivered one of Birmingham’s most iconic Afrobeats
nightlife experiences. A full venue, a high-energy crowd, and a live PA turned what
could have been a standard club night into a cultural moment.
SMADE’s curation, atmosphere, and production elevated the event into a signature
experience — where sound, movement, lights, and community fused into a night people
still talk about. A defining chapter in how Afrobeats shaped the UK club scene.
