The Rhythms Project is a grassroots movement dedicated to reinvigorating Middlesbrough’s music and culture. Based at Rhythms Music Bar on Baker Street, we provide a platform for emerging and established artists, blending live performances, DJ sets, and industry education to cultivate a thriving creative community.

Founded by Matty, a university lecturer and passionate advocate for the local music scene, The Rhythms Project bridges the gap between education and real-world industry experience. Through curated events, collaborations, and safe, inclusive spaces, we’re reshaping the future of independent music in the North East.

Expect diverse sounds, exclusive mixes, and live recordings from our resident DJs, guest artists, and local talent. Join us as we celebrate rhythm in all its forms.
