MOVEMENT [IS] MANDATORY

SKIP THE WARMUP

This one’s for dancing

Bass-soaked grooves to make you move. This isn’t a call to the floor, this is a sonic demand: dance in our genre-anarchic sweatbox brought by (and we do mean this) the city’s finest spinners...

Inspired by London's new wave of dance-centric parties from footwork to soul, we're throwing this Thursday throw-down for you to show us what you've got

Whether you've ever danced in your life or not - you've got an ass, maybe you got feet, so we want to see. you. move.

You'll be accompanied by the wildest talent we could find in London who'll be playing sounds from across the club spectrum with maximum talent, minimum decorum

A no-filming rule will be ENFORCED, not because the scenes won't be worth filming but because your smartphone camera is a gaping black hole for vibes

Come early, stay late and wobble home! - Not since you're too drunk to walk but because you didn't do your stretches before you hit this floor with:

BRAVA (LIVE)

“Saying this as someone who was getting his head jumped on by Turnstile's vocalist a decade before yuppies discovered them, trust me when I tell you Brava is hardcore punk energy behind the decks while ripping through her 160bpm tunes” -anonymous but trustworthy source

Catch Brava donning the mic as well as the decks to bring her Spanish juke bars up close and v personal...

THEMPRESS

Thempress' triple deck alchemy isn't just for show; they conjure barely-controlled sonic explosions. Tell your head to get ready to have its sense knocked out and to make space for their DJ puppetry, where invisible strings descend from the roof to hook crowds and move them like they've never moved before.

SOHOTSOSPICY

A tireless worker behind the scenes of London's footwork scene, sohotsospicy is the beloved co-founder of Deptford's soon-to-be legendary footwork jam Afterwerks and is dedicated to bringing free events to footwork fans without hunting for credit in return. But don't pigeon-hole her... while we've seen her decimate clubs with her lazer-focused footwork weaponry, we're welcoming her to bring her full arsenal of club music

CARMA

Twerk 4 Guestlist founder Carma was a first choice for this night. She's the DJ that other DJs don't want to play after, so good luck to who does on the 16th (at time of writing we haven't solidified the running time yet, LOL)*. Carma's energy is unreal and without a lick of pretence, the kind of genre-spanning movement music DJ that has unmistakably spent a lifetime juking, twerking, studying, discussing and LIVING the beat. Located in London by way of Baltimore we're counting our lucky stars to have her here and you’ll be counting yours too

DJ!CR

SKIP THE WARMUP co-founder, M.O.T mainstay, and footwork devotee DJ!CR will be serving up bounce-n’-break-your-back-type blends of battle tracks and soul-soaked deep cuts. Your local DJ is so stuck in the same groove that it's a ravine, climb out and come early… she’ll make sure you get your head spun right out the gate

*editor’s note: the hosts are dorks, come see it
