Kicking off August with a bang — veteran of the U.K.‘s first deep house sound system (DiY Sound System), Grace Sands, makes her Faith in Strangers debut, for one the best summer parties you’ll be guaranteed to find.
DiY Soundsystem- A group set up in Nottingham in the late 80’s before peaking during the free party heyday of the 90’s at the infamous Castlemorton free festival.
She began DJing as one half of the partnership Digs and Woosh, with the duo starting out due to their shared love of hip hop, funk, post punk, disco & jazz. By ’91, they were key in helping define the deep house sound for which the collective became famous for.
Described by Factory Records’, Tony Wilson, as ‘Culturally the most dangerous people in the UK’. The collective were political, inclusive and purveyors of quality music, who performed throughout the US, Europe, Asia and Australasia.
Joining Grace to kick off the evening is Northdown (fka DJ Ant C). Beardy DJ, promoter, collaborator, producer… Founder of Love Is For Everybody, co-founder and resident DJ at the TUSK and Orgazm parties, and collaborator with the Queer Neon collective.
A northern smalltown boy, Northdown discovered house music in the late 80’s and attended his first rave as a 15 year old in 1990. It has been a long musical voyage of discovery ever since.
Northdown’s first love is house music in all its variety, but dabbles in disco, acid, electronica, techno, and surrounding sounds. His sets are often eclectic, with 80s classics blended with up-to-date tunes.
With Ant having had Grace play at one of his TUSK parties back in 2018- we thought it was time for a well anticipated reunion upon the decks.
Head along for the whole night — our restaurant and bar will be open from 6pm, with some of the best food, cocktails and seaside & sunset views the UK has to offer. We can’t wait for you to join us for a night of unapologetic pleasures.
