  • Sidney and Matilda 46 Sidney Street Sheffield, England, S1 4RH United Kingdom (map)

We are excited to present an allstar line up from across the country with 3 rooms of music.

(Room1) The Bruk up Basement - Broken and Bruk beat, 2step, Jazzy house and Bass heavinusss with soul. 

Picking up the batton alongdside the original dons such as IG Culture, Bugz in the attic and 4 Hero, Dance Regular bosses EVM 128 and James Rudie have been pushing the sound forward over the past few years with stages at We Out Here festival, club nights across the country and top drawer releases with laser sharp focus on making we move!

The crew coming through from around the country includes Lord Byron, EVM128, Donsurf and Sheffield's very own bruk beat tuffian Xtra Brux, all part of the impressive Co-op Presents/Selectors Assemble's and WWFM radio show. 

They will be joined by original South Yorkshire heavy weight Pipes (KABAL/SCUBA) making his long overdue Phonetics debut. You all know about Kabal don't you? Expect bass. 

PHONETICS head chef Levi Bussue, purveyor of fine foods will be cooking up a pot of well marinated dancefloor rockers.

(Room2) Phusion - playing a mixture of Funk, Soul, Hip Hop, Jazz, Afro, Reggae and anything else we can squeeze in between. 

DJ Gilla can often be found hosting the main stage at the We Out Here Festival, while reading out the football results between tunes. He has been running the very impressive First Word Records imprint for the past few years, which he initially set up with Sheffield's very own Andy H (Tuesday Club) resident and well established music producer. As such, he has an ear for quality music signing artists such as Don Leisure, Kaidi Tatham, Children of Zeus, Allysha Joy, KSR and many more outstanding artists from around the globe. 

Ruth Joy long time (Phonetics/Sounds Like This)residant will be joining Gilla. Multi instrumentalist, vocalist, DJ and all round musical oracle! With a musical heritage that goes back to 1992's UK street soul classic, "Pride and Joy" (which included remixes from the like of Louie Vega), Ruth lives and breathes music. As a selector, Ruth embraces all styles from Jazz, Soul and Reggae to all corners of the dancefloor.

Ali H aka Stoaty former (Tuesday club/Phonetics) resident. Long time purveyor of leftfield dance musicks, our sound architect Ali has played alongside Flying Lotus, Fourtet, Mala, and Mark Ronson amongst many other excellent artists. 

Dan Mager long time (Gravel Pit/Phonetics) resident and plant whisperer. Original soul boy & party starter, Dan can now mainly be found hanging with plants in his Abbeydale Road emporium (Stevie Wonder released a whole album decicated to plants so it's not that much of a leap...) We have bribed him away from the greenery and back into the club to play some soul finery for you.

(Room3) Wepa! Wepa! Latin roots from Salsa to Sambe, Boogaloo to Bossa, Cumbia, Mambo y mas

DJ Lubi (Jazzland Sessions/TWR) is a legend, a word often used far too often, but in this context it runs true. Over his 40 years in music he has DJed, played in bands, promoted, pushed, written and supported music from Latin, Jazz, soul and so much more. From leading the charge with Leeds' first Jazz dance and Salsa nights to long running nights with the Dig Family and the more recent Soul Rebels which provided a launch pad for the likes of Nubiyan Twist, TC and the Groove Family, K.O.G and so many more! Lubi has played with too many to mention but here's a few, Seu Jorge, Eddie Palmieri, and Azymuth.

Chris Welch, Sounds Like Thisser gaffer and Phonetics resident, Welchie can't decide which genre of leftfield dance music he likes best so just plays all of them. He has played far and wide from Lisbon to Leeds, Melnourne to Manchester (but mainly Sheffield), Soundwave to We Out Here. His long running radio show has featured everyone from Omar to K.O.G and his recently launched indpendent label boasts Aziza & Finguz amongst others! He'll be popping up all over the place on the night.
