Makin’ Moves “Lounge Session” Friday 27th January 2023 @ Curtain Club Mondrian Hotel Shoreditch

Posted on by

Jamesey and Matt aim to brush off those winter January blues with their first event of the year on Friday 27th January at the stunning Rose Bar situated in the basement of the Mondrian Hotel in Shoreditch. This session is more of a lounge vibe seeing the boys digging deep in the creates playing a the full spectrum of music from deep house vibes with an infusion of jazz and disco. Joining the boys on the decks will be the amazingly talented Faro!
This summer she’s been very busy on the festival circuit and her reputation is on the rise! Faro grew up on her Dad’s collection of R&B and Soul, and started getting into electronic music in her early teens. Soulful sounds continue to always be the key ingredient in her musical selection, often combining elements of Classic and Jazzy House, Broken Beat, Disco, and beyond and we look forward to sharing the decks with her on the 27th!
Expect to hear a lot of upfront Makin Moves releases forthcoming in 2023 plus an exclusive live performance from an artist on the label!

Makin’ Moves Xmas Party Saturday 3rd December @ Koko Café

Posted on by
We’ve missed out on our annual Xmas party for the past two years due to the pandemic so we’re really excited for this year’s event taking place at the brand new Cafe Koko situated behind the famous Koko venue in Camden! This place is a really funky venue and has a lovely food menu so why not come early and enjoy some food before the party begins?!Joining Matt and Jamesey for our final event of the year will be, Arnaud D who will be flying in exclusively from France! We tried to get Arnaud over before the pandemic but it didn’t work out due to restrictions at the time so it’s fantastic to finally have him playing a set after his fantastic contribution to our label over the years with so many top quality releases which leads us nicely onto our next guest..

Also, joining the festival celebrations will be Missfly and Solly Brown from Soul Fly productions. MissFly has had an amazing year as an artist in the dance music market and we look forward to her performing her performing her huge hit “Honey Love” on the night plus a sneak preview of some other forthcoming exciting material on Makin Moves Records.

Finally, we also welcome Solly Brown for his debut at MM, a top dj in his own right having held various residents in London over the last 20 years, and more recently at Afrosoul London who have been putting on some great parties recently.

Makin’ Moves 10th Anniversary Part 2 @ 93 Feet East – Saturday 10th September 2022

Posted on by

Following the amazing part one of our 10th anniversary party at 93 Feet East with Atjazz and Jimpster back in May where they both guys tore the house down, and left people asking “when’s the next party guys?!” we head back to our favourite London venue for part two on Saturday 10th September!

For this special event, Matt and Jamesey will be joined by Crackazat and Fényan in the main room. Crackazat absolutely smashed it the last time we hosted him back in 2020 and we can’t wait to welcome him once again as he brings that unique energy with his dj sets and live keys! He’s had a very busy year dropping his superb “Evergreen” album on Freerange Records plus some hot new exclusive remixes for us on the MM label so you’ll have to be in the house to catch a glimpse of those for the first time! Our second main room guest is Fényan who will be making his London debut and aren’t we excited to be bringing such a talent to Makin Moves! This man is different class growing up learning his trade firstly as a house dancer winning global acclaim but more recently he’s turned his hand to djing and producing working with the likes of Toy Tonics. His sets will have you hypnotised as he creativity works live elements over his unique beats!

Getting the show moving early on in the courtyard will be Frankie J (indahouse) and Davide Delvecchio who has recently been making a lot of noise with his Rehab events as a dj in his right. Frankie is one talented dude!! Where do we start.. This man is probably the best house dancer in the UK, taking his talents around the world showcasing and teaching, but as a DJ this guy is certainly one for the future as he showed us all at Colours in Hoxton last summer when he took the roof off! We look forward to welcoming both guys to Makin’ Moves for this very special event!

Posted on by

After two years without the infamous Notting Hill Carnival due to the pandemic this year’s event promises to be the best in many years with millions of people set to take to the streets in West London on Monday 29thAugust! As part of our 10th anniversary celebrations here at Makin’ Moves we’ve decided to put on a special event on the bank holiday Monday at our favourite venue in West London, the Notting Hill Arts Club with our close friends over at Happydaes to celebrate this occasion and showcase some of the best dj talent in house music from the UK and across the pond. Happydaes, is a boutique dj agency and collective with a whole host of fantastic dj talent on their books and we’re so excited for our first collaboration!

We’ve put together a mouth watering bill which sees Matt and Jamesey joined by three top class djs from Happydaes – including David Harness who will be flying in from San Francisco for the gig. David’s done many remixes on the Makin moves label and we’ve been dying to get him on an event bill for many years, as hes a thoroughly awesome dj! Also, joining us will be deepintosoul owner Neil Pierce who’s right up their with the best producers and DJ’s in the UK when it comes to house music with Southport Weekender and Suncebeat residencies – and with his infamous Deep Into Soul parties.

Rounding off this tip top line up is Craig Smith, one of the most respected djs in the Uk house music scene with a career spanning over 30 years featuring a ten year stint as resident at the Honeycomb club in Edinburgh. As a producer he’s craved a niche sound under the 6th borough project and the Revenge. He’ll be joining us fresh from tearing up Suncebeat in Croatia and cant wait to hear what he has in store for us!
