Saturday 16th May Makin’ Moves 14th Anniversary After Party Bricks, Brixton

Posted on by

 

Following our day party at Phonox on Saturday 16th May Makin’ Moves aim to keep the vibe alive with part of our 14th birthday celebrations as we head to our after party at the much talked about Bricks only a short walk up the round from Phonox.
This event is part of our 14th anniversary celebration and features more djs that have played for us through the years across to floors plus also some new faces!
On the ground floor we welcome once again Marvin Jupiter a very talented producer / dj who recently remixed “Lovin’ You” from UK soul Don Don-E. We also welcome new faces Esthaah and Raphael from the Soul Therapy crew. These guys are serious selectors and their Soul Therapy events are a hot bed for new talent coming into the scene.
In the upstairs room Matt and Jamesey will be joined by Kojay and P-Lucas from the Onts crew that tore the place down back in March at our last event at the Timber Loft. The guys will also be joined by Randy Peterson from Our House Music, one of London’s best soulful house djs who’s played for us on many occasions through the years.
This party is totally free and big thank you to everyone that’s supported us through the years!

Makin’ Moves 14th Anniversary @ Phonox – Sat 16th May – *Announcement

Posted on by

Due to unforeseen and unfortunate circumstances, beyond our control! Osunlade will not be performing at our 14th anniversary this Saturday 16th October at Phonox.

Makin’ Moves celebrates their 14th anniversary on Saturday 16th May with a special day party event at South London’s finest club Phonox. Phonox is definitely our favourite London club with the best sound system and lights, it just has the full package when putting on an event of this size! Oakland-based DJ Patrick Wilson has been in the game for over 40 years and in that time has earnt respect as one of the finest djs in the States in that time. He and fellow Oaklander Nina Sol are resident DJs at Elements, a party dedicated to deep, soulful house, both classic and they’ve shared the stage with everyone from Moodyman to Joe Claussell. We really can’t wait to have him play for us and take us on a journey! Kapela has been one of the rising stars in the soulful / afro scene for sometime. Building up a reputation as one of the top djs in Paris at the infamous Djoon club where he has a monthly Sunday residency and we experienced for ourselves last year!

We sincerely apologise for any inconveniences caused.

Makin’ Moves & Friends @ The BBE Store – Thursday 26th March – Free event

Posted on by

Fresh from a great night last weekend at Timber Loft in Shoreditch, Matt and James host their first listening party event at BBE store in London Fields, where you get to hear future Makin’ Moves jams and this one is TOTALLY FREE!!

Joining the boys for this event will be Marvin Jupiter, one of London’s most inertive producer, musicians and djs to come through the London broken beat scene from North West London. Marvin is son of late West London producer / DJ, Phil Asher (aka Phlash) who Matt and Jamesey shared the DJ booth on many occasions in the 2000′s but sadly passed a few years ago so this is a real circle back moment for us.

Also, Marvin has remixed a track for our label titled “Lovin’ You” written and sung by UK soul legend Don-E nd we will be showcasing the record on the day.

This release will be available to purchase from all good stores from 10th April 2026.

Makin’ Moves Loft Party Saturday 21st March @ Timber Loft, Light Bar

Posted on by

 

Makin’ Moves continue their series of day parties, this time taking over the brand new Timber Loft space situated at the top of the Light Bar in Shoreditch! This space has some serious history in London’s dance music scene and now has been revamped for 2026! It really is the perfect space for us with its stunning wooden dance floor and sound system (which has been taken from room 2 in fabric!) to 360 degree views of the city!

Matt and Jamesey will be fresh from their set at Faith and Southport Weekender respectfully and will be joined once again by Detroit’s Ash Lauryn who played a blinder of a set for us last year in Brixton so much so we immediately invited her back! Ash is one of the main female deep house pace setters always on the road out and now also rightly getting props over here in Europe on a regular basis. Opening things up will be Kojay and P-Lucas who are currently making waves in London’s deep house scene with their unique Oonts parties at spaces such as Grow and we welcome them both to Makin’ moves! Kojay we’ve obviously had play for us before but this time we also welcome his partner in crime P-Lucas!
