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.

“Emotional Seasons” completes the package, another infectious chunky house groove filled with jazzy keys and stabbing chords sending a positive house message!

Makin’ Moves Loft Party Saturday 21st March @ Timber Loft, Light Bar

Posted on by

 

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!
