With support from:
Lucky Babe
Born of Guyanese and Irish roots in the Scottish Highlands, LuckyBabe is a DJ whose sets blend deep feeling with high-impact energy. A resident of PonyBoy and Kin.x, and co-founder of Gully Gully, Glasgow’s night spotlighting Black music in all its forms, she brings together boldness, emotion, and sonic precision on every dance floor.
Classically trained on the recorder, her musicality runs through every mix. Her sets draw from a wide palette of influences, from soca, hard house and baile funk to breaks, dubstep and more. This genre-agnostic approach is rooted in diasporic memory and rave rebellion. Known for moving seamlessly between tenderness and intensity, her sound is often described as ritualistic, glitchy, bass-heavy and emotionally rich.
Brody James
Stirling & Glasgow based Brody James has began to steadily establish himself within the Scottish clubbing scene, playing at some of Scotlands most iconic venues including; La Cheetah, Tunnels, UNIT 51, Sneaky Pete’s, Mash House and Fubar to name a few.
