Makin’ Moves return to Earth Kitchen in Dalston for our second event of 2024! This space is getting alot of hype as one of London’s best kept secrets with it’s airy NYC feel and wooden dance floor plus state of the art sound system!
Joining Matt and Jamesey on the musical journey will be Ezel who will be flying in all the way from the Dominican Republic for his first London gig! This man has been on fire production wise for the last few years putting out some beautiful music on various labels including his own imprint Bayacou Records. This year he dropped his long awaited album with singer sensation Rona Ray which went straight to the top of the Traxsource album charts last month!! As a dj he’s been building his name with slots around the US and at some boutique festivals such as Mi Casa in Mexico and we simply cant wait to have his bless us at Makin Moves!
Opening things up is Ted Lawrence a real talent and alongside David Bailey has been forging a great new event under the Underground Project brand.

Following our first Makin’ Moves & friends event earlier this month at All My Friends we’re excited to be heading back down to Hackney Wick on Sunday 31st March for an Easter bank holiday special! The first time we visited this space last year we instantly feel in love with it with its incredible terrace and hi-fidelity sound system!
This event differs from our regular house events and allows our residents and friends to dig deep for those extra special tracks journeying through the genres of soul, disco and deep house!
Joining Matt and Jamesey for the musical journey will be Miss Soxee a fab dj who runs the infamous monthly Open Decks sessions at Jaguar shores in Shoreditch. We also welcome Deep Pete from the Lucky Cloud sound system and last but not least Love Is Blind.

Joining Matt and Jamesey on this musical journey will be Daisybelle and Faro, two of London’s premier spin sisters!

Our penultimate event of the year sees us head back to one of our favourite venues Grow in Hackney Wick! We’ve had three really great events already this year and our crowd always really enjoy it as the club is one of the best small spaces to get down in London into the small hours!
Matt & Jamesey have probably had their busiest year since the pandemic, culminating with their feature in the summer edition of Faith Magazine and this month celebrating their 200th label release. If you haven’t been to one of their events think, smiling people, quality soulful music with dancers getting down.. Everyone is welcome in our house! The boys will be joined on the night by Abel aka Steve Butler who will be making the trip down from the north east. From catching the house bug in the late 80s as a devout collector, his DJ career went from strength to strength. It saw him perform across some of the UK’s most prestigious nights including the Southport Weekender, not to mention internationally.
He’s recently dropped his second studio album “Cosmic Law’ which is getting a lot of praise from all corners, where he’s collaborated with some notable talents and musician and singers including Rona Ray and Sabrina Chyld. Check out the album on his bandcamp page. His current single “Cant Let You Go” with Rona Ray on vocals has been getting serious air play on all the main dance shows and we look forward to welcoming him to Makin Moves on the 2nd!
Theres a bunch of early bird tickets available from Dice so make sure you grab them early otherwise take your chance on the door! https://dice.fm/event/
