We come together to celebrate our 13th anniversary on Friday 5th September at the Cross in Kings Cross, one of London’s best kept secrets! It’s been another busy year and the team have again shown themselves to be a leading light in London’s house music scene.

This incredible venue has two floors which allows us to play more diverse soulful sounds for this event! On the ground floor playing soul, disco and all things between you will find Martin Lodge a stalwart of the soul / soulful house scene along side Patrick Steele another quality dj who will be back from Zakynthos after performing at Shapes festival and celebrating his birthday on the night! In the basement, you’ll find Matt and Jamesey London’s deep house trend setters playing the latest cuts and still energised by their trip to Djoon this summer (Matt will also be celebrating his birthday aswell!).

Joining them will be DJ Murrell a regular on House FM, his sets have really caught our ear and we’ve excited to welcome him on the night. To add icing to the cake, we’ve got the amazing ShezAr performing a PA of our new forthcoming track on Makin’ Moves Records “Natural High”.

Remember this is an exclusive entry event and capacity is limited so make sure you sign up for a free ticket ASAP from RA!

We’re back with part two of our bank holiday series at Grow in Hackney Wick on Sunday 24th August! Our last event sold out in record time so make sure you’re in the house for this one!

The brand has become a trusted name in the house scene, bringing people together through quality music and dancefloor connection. We’re kicking things off in the early evening sunshine with soulful vibes from 6pm on the terrace, with Joe Cox— an open minded selector known for his Open House parties and weekly show on HouseFM. Expect deep digs and feel-good grooves as they work through their extensive vinyl collections.

As night draws in, the party moves indoors to the club space, where Matt and Jamesey take over with their signature blend of fresh releases and timeless house cuts from the Makin’ Moves catalogue. Joining them for a very special set is Leigh Howlett from Our House music, probably one of the Uk’s most under rated djs but always brings the quality. He’s also one part of Our House Music alongside Randy Peterson putting on top soulful house events in London.

Catch us down at the famous Jazz Cafe on Saturday 4th October as we support Robert Owens and his full live band!

THE VOICE BEHIND FOUNDATIONAL CHICAGO HOUSE CLASSICS TAKES HIS SIGNATURE VOICE TO THE LIVE STAGE BACKED BY A FULL LIVE BAND,  BRINGING GENRE-DEFINING TRACKS BACK TO LIFE.

In his own words, Robert Owens has been making house music ‘before house had a name’. This October he celebrates a 40 year career.
One of the most distinctive, coveted and prolific voices in the genre, Robert has an illustrious career that started in late 80’s Chicago and has produced some of the greatest tracks house music has witnessed.

Responsible for era-defining classics such as ‘Tears’ alongside Frankie Knuckles & Satoshi Tomiie, ‘Bring Down The Walls’ with Larry Heard as part of Fingers Inc., as well as solo releases ‘I’ll Be Your Friend’ and ‘Mine To Give’ which hit number one on the Hot Dance Music / Club Play chart, Robert has created seminal records which you can comfortably bet will have a place on any house head’s all-time favourites list.

Jamesey and Matt will be spinning before and after the show with support from Miss Soxee from Open Decks and Blissy-E from Voices Radio!
