★ Eight DJs
★ Six hours of unapologetic queer joy
★ One big queer party to start the year as you intend to carry on
These numbers might not win you the lottery, but they’ll win you a night packed with queer joy and transformation. And we totally need that.
✪ Room One ✪
This is where all things disco and live acts happens…
The Disco Room
Affy Go Bang – (House of Go Bang, Calabash) disco diva Affy Wajid, legendary DJ and producer, is a purveyor of fine happenings and peddler of exquisitely sophisticated disco!
Wildblood and Queenie – Brighton’s queerest disco dears deliver exactly what it says on their glittering tin. All things disco and divine with an eye on their queer house music heritage and the love of a bloody good dance. Never guilty treasures, always blissful baselines and hands in the air anthems guaranteed. Just how we like it.
Plus live acts to be announced!
✪ Room Two ✪
It’s an electronic music rave….
Brighton BBG Takeover!
Step into Brighton BBG Takeover, as brighton-based collective of non-binary, trans, women, queer and gender non-conforming DJs take us on a bassy and breaksy electronic music journey.
Behind the decks:
Punti – Punti is a multi-genre vinyl dj with an emphasis on breaks, bass and funky beats.
Melly – Hailing from Birmingham, Melly is a DJ and budding producer who loves to blend both genres and eras in her high energy sets. From Jersey Club to Funky House, nothing is off the table – or decks!
B4B – B4B’s (aka bangers for breakfast) sets are brought together by a deep love for anything that bangs. Expect uk garage, bass, breaks, and bootlegs of tunes by all of your favourite huns.
Madame Longree – Neither the plastic horse nor piano teacher of their namesake, Producer and DJ Madame Longrèe offers a taste in music that might be described as “130+?”, followed by a bit of a shrug. Resident of BBG, La Collectif and Vandelay Radio, they can be found on the airwaves every month, broadcasting some of the most exciting non-binary and queer artists in the heavier music space.
Mafu – Fierce and feisty, but with a healthy dose of silliness, Mafu’s sets will have you dancing without inhibitions to music your more boring work colleagues and acquaintances wouldn’t like very much. Expect breaks, familiar tunes and transcendental techno.
✪ Room Three ✪
This is where things get interesting, and weird, and soft, and beautiful…
