CHRIS SIMMONDS!!! What an honour and a privilege it was to have him down in Plymouth! He came armed with the full plethora of musical treats that we knew he would. A phenomenal set which weaved though different moods and vibes and ticked every single box. 2.5 hours went by far too quickly!! Not only a master of his craft, but an all round top guy.
FOURJAK - Simply excellent! brought some sublime funky goodness, it was a joy to have him back and playing for us again. He never fails to deliver!
Massive thank you to Sammy Jo, Deeby, Johny and crew for getting the party started in the courtyard in the daylight hours ๐ โค๏ธ

NEXT UP! Sat 13th June - We welcome an amazing duo that fit perfectly into the HousWerk creed... Manchester Soul Soup Records founders and owners, Djs Adam Be and Neil Matthews!
Soul Soup Records was born from a chance meeting between its two founders, Adam Be and Neil Matthews. It is rooted in a shared passion for underground house music, vinyl culture, and the dancefloor.
Soul Soup Records is both a record label and DJ collective, reflecting combined histories and vision.
Based in Manchester, Soul Soup Records is dedicated to showcasing fresh and diverse electronic music while staying firmly connected to the underground roots of house. At its core, Soul Soup is about authenticity, musical depth, and providing a platform for both emerging and established artists who embody the spirit of underground dance music.
Neil Matthews brings over three decades of experience from Manchesterโs rich clubbing heritage. Beginning his DJ journey in 1995, he played a key role during the cityโs golden era, performing at iconic venues such as The Boardwalk, Paradise Factory, Music Box, and Sankeys Soap. Neil has shared the booth with respected artists including Atjazz, Danny Howells, A Guy Called Gerald, Jon Dasilva, and Groove Assassin, and continues to bridge the gap between Manchesterโs legacy and its future.
Adam Beโs journey into music was shaped by an early love of hip hop and vinyl, drawing inspiration from artists like Gang Starr and A Tribe Called Quest. His clubbing experiences at renowned nights such as Back2Basics, The Bomb!, and Sankeys Soap led him to promote his own underground parties in the late โ90s and early 2000s. Adam has built a reputation as both a DJ and promoter, sharing lineups with artists including the Inland Knights, Jason Hodges, Eddie Leader and James Holroyd among others.
Together, Adam and Neil channel their combined experience, taste, and dedication into Soul Soup Records - a label that celebrates the past, present, and future of underground electronic music while staying true to its roots.
Supporting will be the HouseWerK residents.
