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.

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.

We welcome Toronto’s own Demuir to Makin’ Moves. A “rare breed” in the world of electronic music. With a passion that runs deep in his veins, Demuir has risen to the top of the underground house scene with his soulful, funky, and unapologetically authentic sound.

Here he presents a classy three track EP, all tracks worthy of working the dance floor in equal measure!

“What Deep House Use To Be” is the first of two instrumental tracks. This one is a bouncy house groove taking us back to the early roots of house music, with a very catchy groove.
“What’s Happening To Me?” is a full on jazzy house affair, and uplifting feel good instrumental with a guitar solo which keeps the toes tapping and energy high!

“Emotional Seasons” completes the package, another infectious chunky house groove filled with jazzy keys and stabbing chords sending a positive house message!
Demuir has only continued to push boundaries. In 2024 and 2025, he’s released stand out projects on his Purveyor Underground and Purveyor Underground Limited imprints. His output remains in demand across respected labels including Hot Creations, Kaoz Theory, Heist, Nervous.

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!
