Following our incredible last collaboration back in June, Makin’ Moves join forces once again with London dance collective Indahouse for another jam on Friday 4th October as we head south of the river to Market house in Brixton, a venue we are familiar with as our good friends over at Mi Casa have had some great nights there, with its wooden floor and state of the art sound system.

Presenting the DJs playing throughout the evening, and then the after party from 11pm, we have one of our most exciting line ups to date which sees Makin Moves residents Matt & Jamesey joined by Coflo flying in from San Francisco for his debut gig in London!

Coflo Ferreira is not just a DJ, but also a dancer, and producer who was born and raised in the East Bay Area of California. Founder of Catch The Ghost Records and proud member of the Soulshifters artistry collective. Through the years, Coflo has travelled the world learning, teaching, and performing dance. He has won many international tournaments of “House Dance” and is known for his connections to the artistry collective “The Soulshifters” as well as the legendary dance crew “Circle of Fire.” As his time in the study and practice of American “club dance” has continued to mature, his love and dedication for music have also matured.
