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!

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.
