Support for Emerging Talent

- Our nights feature a mix of familiar and new music, ensuring a journey through different types of house music and beyond to keep the night interesting.
Mutual Support
- Our DJs are more than performers; they are part of the crowd, dancing for other DJs, promoting the nights, and sharing the love.

What We Are Not

Not Exclusive or Elitist
- We are not a niche, avant-garde event that appeals to only a small number of people.
- We are not about being 'cool' or needing to look a certain way to fit in.
Not Profit-Driven
- Our goal is not to make money but to cover our costs and ensure our members enjoy themselves without breaking the bank.

Diverse and Engaging Music

Cost-Effective and Passion-Driven
