Makin’ Moves Friday 12th May @ Grow Hackney – Limited £6 tickets available
The Makin’ Moves team kick off their series of summer events down at Grow in Hackney Wick on Friday 12th May! We’re very excited about our first event at this venue because of its location with outside space for the summer evenings looking out onto the Regents Canal and then when things get dark we head inside the club and up the vibes on their state of the art sound system.
We’ve put a special line up together for this event, alongside our resident Matt and Jamesey fresh from their storming set at Omeara last weekend!
Man of the moment Laroye will be kicking things off outside from 7pm on the outdoor terrace. Laroye has released music exploring a variety of different genres from broken beat through funk and boogie on labels such as Local Talk, Midnight Riot, Glitterbox.
We then move inside where Lars Behrenroth will take centre stage! Hes flying in exclusively for this gig and last played in london over 5 years ago. Lars has played at world-renowned clubs like DEEP (LA), Distillery (Leipzig, Germany), Motor City Lounge (Detroit), Stereo (Montreal, Canada), Queens (Paris, France) and in the recent years enjoys a massively growing fan base in South Africa.
This year his highly acclaimed, award-nominated and respected weekly two-hour radio show, “Deeper Shades of House” is celebrating its 18 year anniversary. The show can be heard on many radio stations worldwide (FM, Satellite, DAB & online), is featured on iTunes as an essential music podcast and reaches over 1/4 million listeners each month and we can’t wait to hear what he has in store for us on the 12th!
There’s a very limited number of tickets available for this event so get them fast otherwise get their early!

Saturday 22nd April Kindred Presented by Makin’ Moves & Mi Casa Es Casa @ Omeara
Two of London’s most respected deep house brands Makin’ Moves and Mi Casa unite once again for a new event “Kindred” taking place at Omeara in London Bridge on Saturday 22nd April. When these two giants meet at the same venue back in 2018 it was a party to remember so you know you’ve got to be at this event!
Kindred is a new concept seeing two rooms of quality music taking you on a journey through house music to eclectic vibes and beyond with a hand picked selection of djs from the UK playing deep/soulful house through to soul, boogie and broken beat in room two.
In the main room you’ll catch Makin Moves residents Matt and Jamesey playing the unique brand of house music and they will be ably assisted by The Journeymen who are one of the most talked about duos’s in the scene right now. Paul Degallerie will be getting the room moving nicely from early doors!
Room two will be hosted by Soul Fuel, a collective of four very respected djs from London playing the vinyl format lead by Marcia Carr (Girlz B Like). Expect a heavy selection of soul, boogie, broken beat over 6 hours!

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