KAMMA & MASALO
Rarely do you see DJs complement each other as seamlessly as Kamma & Masalo. The Amsterdam duo trust each other implicitly behind the decks, sometimes selecting the same track without exchanging a single word, other times boldly pushing each other into deep and unexpected waters. Their sound is shaped by Amsterdam’s school of eclecticism, as well as a deep reverence for the pioneers of dance music. Their fresh perspective bridges the gap between old school and new with euphoric energy.
Make A Dance
Make A Dance is a music duo that has carved out a niche in the underground scene over the last few years. Ben Lewis and Josh Ludlow have established themselves as versatile selectors known for their infectious energy and eclectic sound. They seamlessly blend classic house, exotic edits, weirdo B-sides and party bombs, creating euphoric dancefloor experiences that have kept them on a steady upward trajectory since starting the project in 2020.
The duo have played at iconic venues and festivals including Panorama Bar / Klubnacht, Fabric, DC10 / Circoloco, Heidegluhen, Glastonbury, We Out Here, Love International and Gottwood. Their reputation for delivering consistently strong sets has made them favourites both in the UK and internationally, with shows across New Zealand, Australia, Asia, the UAE and the USA.
Make A Dance are regulars on the airwaves, appearing on BBC Radio 1 and Rinse FM, and guest-hosting NTS Radio slots for established shows such as Moxie and Test Pressing. They enjoy strong DJ support from Optimo, DR Banana, Palms Trax, Laurent Garnier, Tristan da Cunha, Seth Troxler, Bradley Zero, Moxie, Cinthie, ND Baumecker, Paula Tape, Jonny Rock & Felix Dickinson.
Honey Bun b2b Lovie (Soul Connection, NYC)
About Honey Bun: DJ Honey Bun seamlessly blends her New York roots with her Texas upbringing and Black diasporic heritage. Now based in Brooklyn, Honey Bun has been celebrated as one of NY’s breakout talents. She’s known for her eclectic and adventurous approach to mixing dance music, heard across beloved party series, Soul Connection, online during her Lot Radio show titled, BUNTOPIA, and as a newly minted resident of world-renowned nightclub, Nowadays.
About Lovie: Connecting the mind, to the body, to the soul, Lovie's sets inspire the warmest, most community-minded dance floors you'll find in New York. For four years Lovie's Lot radio residency—now being offered as one of the station's few weekly shows—has thumbed through the intimate corners of her music collection. Her diligence to the craft, musical curiosity, and deep focus on the listening experience has earned her a spot on Mixmag's Top 25 Breakthrough DJs of 2024, as well as a coveted residency at Brooklyn club public records. She saunters through slow-groove disco, dusty '70s funk, and sumptuous house music, all spun with the patience and musicality associated with the East Coast house tradition. Lovie's studied archival work paired with deep emotional wisdom makes for honey-sweet dance floor memories you'll want to replay again and again.
