Ahead of tomorrow’s @depthcharge.inc first edition / Spring Equinox / International Day of Happiness, series founder @grayofeightbillion shares a selection of personal favourite moments from the night’s contributors. “These are curated from across the digisphere, blurry phone footage from the edge of various booths, the middle of the dancefloor, or sent in the early hours via group chats to friends on not one, but two Ormside New Years. 1. @fossafossa - one of my favourite blends from Anjali and Esme’s @kiosk.radio show, Dec 2025 2. Super nice 3 deck mix moments from @ex.sses latest show on @mot.radio , Feb 2026 3. Footage from @lou_fll with @drimehex standard delivery of hot mixer madness @tanumsound party, Nov 2025 (I was actually in attendance at this one but dancing too hard to film anything) 4. @commodough melting minds at Ormside NYE, Dec 2024-Jan2025 5. @pariah_uk playing @conradpack_ “Praise” as last tune at his Corsica set last autumn - really loved this set and this closing track was *chef’s kiss* - Oct 2025 6. @mike.levitt - Mike’s sets are really all killer no filler. Here he is shaking the bones of the club at Ormside NYE 2025, sent to me at 4am from my brother’s phone while I was away, ostensibly to invoke FOMO, successfully achieved. depth charge inc. o1 Friday 20th March - 22:30-05:30 Tickets on RA, more OTD world’s best guy @gutttosensit on the beautiful artwork come one come all x”

@depthcharge.inc - o1 A new exploration series delving into the histories of dubstep and its adjacent sound worlds, with a focus on where ideas around the genre get stretched, fractured, break and fall apart. An experimental point of departure rather than a sound brief, with an invitation for all participants to leave assumptions at the door. Friday 20th March 2026 22:30-05:30 @ormsideprojects It’s our pleasure to invite the following artists for this first edition: @commodough joins us in celebrating the release of his new EP ‘Deep Harbour’, out on @the_black_acre later this month. A household name with well-loved releases on @ilian_tape , @deepmedimusik and Black Box, we welcome Commodo back to Ormside after his incredible 2025 New Years Eve debut at the club. @pariah_uk is both a producer and DJ who has carved out a space within UK electronic music and beyond that is uniquely his own. Co-founder of @voam_ and curator of the now infamous Pit stage @draaimolen_ for the past few years, his sets are deeply adept and ever-imaginative, forging mind-melting trajectories through the furthest and most eclectic reaches of techno, bass, and beyond. @drimehex - Hexagon Dubs label boss, Drime is an established collector, selector, DJ and producer within the UK underground dubstep, garage, and grime scene since its inception. One of the most technically gifted celebrants of the scene at large, with recent repeat appearances behind the stacks at the legendary @tanumsound parties. @ex.sses b2b @fossafossa - two crucial voices within the more subterranean side of the UK queer & dance scene, and founders of the Lilith parties, Esme & Anjali invite us to imagine the extents of what’s possible within dance music and nightlife - not only sonically but communally, politically and beyond. True experimentalists both on and off the decks, we couldn’t be luckier to have them going tune for tune as our opening duo. + myself & Ormside big boss @mike.levitt going head to head for a steppers power hour somewhere in the mix. Beautiful artwork by the one and only @gutttosensit Tickets on RA, more OTD See u in the smoke, X

Something chill… back with friends at the Pause… this time we welcome Ro.. Hugo.. Gray.. Peezy.. and two very wicked guests 😱😱😱😱😱 top secret, Sunday style .. for the good peeps and heads … the Official Ibiza Fashion Week Afterparty is nigh, come one come all x @an.r.0 @hugowiththeurus @dj__python @grayofeightbillion + wicked duo of great renown Sunday 22nd February @ormsideprojects 6pm > 12am Tickets on RA £10 OTD 💿💿💿💿💿

Heralding the end of January, two beloved figures of the UK club and underground scenes at large take to the decks, for an extended 4h b2b on the 31st of the month. Dextrous, ever skilful, and always surprising, firm club favourite @lukas_wigflex makes his long awaited Ormside debut. Lukas is a beloved presence both the island over and further afield; an emblem of what keeps club culture in the UK characterful and vibrant, Wigflex is something of a nightlife devotee. Having spent the best part of the last 20 years dedicating his energy to pursuits in front of and behind the decks, as both a DJ and promoter of the legendary @wigflex parties, where he’s committed his efforts to providing spaces that bridge the gap between emerging local artists and stalwarts of the international dance scene. As a DJ, it’s rare to find a safer pair of hands; Wigflex sets are never predictable, but his distinctive approach and attitude to the music is undeniably specific and compelling every time. DJ and producer @drumsofjay has been going from strength to strength over the past few years, having been steadily affirming herself as one of the most versatile yet perhaps under-sung presences of the UK underground for the best part of a decade. With an impressive string of releases across labels such as Midland’s @gradeduk , @al_wootton ‘s @trulerecords , @phantasysound and @adonis_adonis_adonis (of which she is a party resident) Jay has a knack for effortlessly expanding the remit of her sonic range, demonstrating time and again her aptitude for both sensitivity to mood and environment, paired with the deft ability to switch it up at the drop of a hat. Similarly multifaceted, and both equipped with a breathtakingly broad arsenal of records, these two feel somewhat like kindred spirits in our minds - we can’t wait to see what they bring to the dance floor. Support comes in the form of Ormside mainstay @grayofeightbillion , who returns to the homestead after a brief stint away from the Bermondsey triangle, opening with a two hour set to prime the room. 23:00-05:00 Tickets via RA + OTD

‿̩͙⊱༒︎༻♱been teasing this one for a while♱༺༒︎⊰‿̩͙ On Sunday 12th October we go all night at @avaloncafebermondsey for the DEATH OF DYSPHORIA BALL with literally London’s finest all in one room~x I’m so so excited to say that the *almighty @okwilliams_ @angel_d_lite @___faff___ 
@drumsofjay @exlruth & @grayofeightbillion are joining us, and its going to actually be the kiiiii of the year~!??! Sliding scale tickets are ON THE DOOR ONLY & global majority trans women + transfemmes go free. This party is in support of me getting the last few grand together for surgery in February ~ ((I undershot during the GFM drive because I’m God’s Own Idiot {She’s mad at me} and I still need to raise around 4k just to cover surgery itself + travel to/from Paris.)) The original push was so unbelievably successful and was the recipient of so much generosity and kindness. 6 months(?) on and I’m still trying to piece together what that really means; stunned by love or holding. Truly idk what I really deserve, but it is the privilege of my life to be surrounded by people who help show me a deservedness to myself xx Because really this party is a celebration of friendship, of dollhood, of the power of real love in this city and the actually life-changing things that happen on dance floors across it every weekend. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to every single person playing, to sweetest @t.twillis for the INSANE poster and to the one + only @p_mcgann at Avalon for hosting us. More than anything though I want to thank my loves @drumsofjay & @grayofeightbillion who singlehandedly put this whole thing together, for me. It’s a solidarity beyond special and so rare when you feel someone lift a weight from your shoulders that you didn’t even know was there; selflessly and so simply. You’re my living angels, u make my life possible, and I’m so so lucky to know & love u both xxxx x~DRESS CODE IS … FUNEREAL-CHIC~x ! c u on the floor ! i love u ! ⁺‧₊˚ ཐི⋆♱⋆ཋྀ ˚₊‧⁺ xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx {{2nd pic by @exlruth in miss subaru on the advent of the 1 + only annual meeting of the lakeside Lesbian Acid Warriors contingent + last pic by @mateo.cvb at the v same}}
