Presented by Faith in Strangers

About this event

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.
