PREP

PREP bring their groove-led pop to KOKO in London on 18 November 2026. Their sound blends soft synths, crisp beats and a clear love for 70s/80s soul and city pop into clean, contemporary songwriting. On stage, they lean into the pocket: warm keys, uncluttered guitar lines and close-up vocals that carry stories of late nights, missed calls and second chances. The balance comes from feel as much as polish, with arrangements that breathe and choruses that land without forcing it.

Across the set, PREP move between slow-burn ballads and mid-tempo tracks built for a gentle sway, stitching hooks with subtle brass and rhythm section interplay. It’s music that keeps the room moving while staying mellow at heart. Live, the details stand out — keyboard voicings that shimmer, bass grooves that anchor the mood, harmonies that sit just right in the mix. Whether you discovered them via a playlist rabbit hole or word of mouth, this KOKO date lines up what PREP do best: melodic pop with a soulful backbone, delivered with ease and intention.
