𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐧𝐨.𝟒 🔎 - 𝐄𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐭 𝐆 & 𝐀𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐲 Emmett G and Aaron Sweeney are no strangers to performing together. Having started their journey playing live sets side by side, they’ve maintained a strong musical connection, performing at clubs and festivals across the UK and Ireland. Their sets are hypnotic in nature, with just the right amount of curveballs to keep the dancefloor on its toes. At Mosaic 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐒𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐉𝐮𝐥𝐲 𝟓 𝐢𝐧 𝐁𝐞𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐬, they’ll be guiding things in two directions. In the garden, they’ll ease into the evening with housey chuggers, dusty disco, and low-lit rhythms built for open air. Later inside, the focus shifts — a more driving selection that leans into techno, while still leaving space for the unexpected.

𝐖𝐄’𝐑𝐄 𝐁𝐀𝐂𝐊. On 𝐒𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝟓𝐭𝐡 𝐉𝐮𝐥𝐲, we return to one of our favourite and most intimate spots in the city - 𝐁𝐞𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐬 We’ve pulled together a heavy lineup of local talent for a day-to-night session with a shift in sound and energy as the night moves on. We kick things off 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝟒𝐩𝐦 — think sunshine-drenched grooves, low-slung house, funk-laced rhythms and dusty disco cuts. Expect warm-ups that set the tone, not just the tempo. As the sun sets, we move indoors — the lights drop, the energy shifts, and we go deeper. Inside, we explore the darker shades: hypnotic techno, broken beats, electro, and mind-bending late-night weapons to carry us through until close.
