Refuge Presents: Ed Kent 22nd May 8pm to 1am @edkent_ A standout presence within the new guard of selectors, Ed Kent has spent over a decade honing his craft and carving out a distinct voice defined by an unshakable sense of conviction and commitment. His no-limits approach to selection and genre-hopping has earned him a place on some of the country’s most esteemed lineups, where he has sought to challenge expectations and sidestep current trends in favour of timeless sonic exploration. Forgotten House B-Sides, rolling Techno Tools and Deranged No Wave Curveballs all land in the mix with considered intent, resulting in an experience which is both unpredictable and enthralling. Joining Ed is a lineup of upcoming local talent @__mr.memo @miracle.passing @haylo.hehe @talatt____ See you there

Refuge Presents Stev Zar 25th April 7pm to 1am @stevzar weaves worlds when she performs. She defies conventional genre borders and draws inspiration from diverse musical references, creating a singular and engrossing sound environment. Her distinct percussive and bass-heavy style blends familiar sounds of house and techno with experimental electro and notes of acid and breakbeat folded into the chaos. The aim is body euphoria, her sets intend to balance playfulness and a tiny bit of chin-stroking to create a sound that deeply resonates with dancefloor champions. Her goal is to challenge her audience to move beyond genre to connect with the heart of the sound. Joining Stev we have local icons, @nikitasillygirl , @maggit.faggit , @n33sha_alexander and @tul.lio Ticket link in bio poster by default jam

Refuge presents: Sugar Free 10 April 10pm til 3am Ticket link in bio The idea of the “selector” is something of a double-edged term in dance music. It suggests a certain genre-agnostic approach to DJing, with an emphasis on the obscure and esoteric, and a deep seated knowledge and understanding of dance music history. However, more often than not, it’s a polite way of describing self-indulgent, pretentious and shockingly boring sets. Thankfully, @freesugarfree very much belongs in the former category. One of the most exciting and respected DJ’s on the planet, she has been pushing weird and wacky dancefloor obscurities out of their hometown of Madrid for well over twelve years now, breaking through on the back of excellent sets at festivals such as Butik, Dekmantel and Houghton, and her excellent debut EP “Disociando” on renowned wax label Icelab. A vinyl specialist, she eschews the stuffy, self-serious tendencies of crate digging to offer a quirky, tech-centric take on house and techno, with smatterings of minimal, trance, EBM, Italo and synth oddities. Think cosmic, expansive, hypnotic and unpredictable. If you’re not already familiar with her work, prepare to have your mind blown! On support duties we have some of our cities finest deck gremlins in the form of @_puskyy._ , @joshismyfirstname , @jaxson.samuels and @creasedvenetian to take us to many an unexpected realm. Strap in everyone, at the end of the day it’s about having fun, no?

Refuge x echo and bounce presents: Jen Cardini 15th March 12pm to 1pm A spotlight on @miracle.passing before Sunday Event info: We are proud to be presenting one of the longest standing talents within queer clubland: @jennifercardini Emerging from the gritty, sweaty Parisian sapphic club scene at the turn of the century, they have gone on to play pretty much every enourmous storied room we can think of, whilst always retaining a distinctly punk influenced approach to the techier side of the rave spectrum. Diverse yet tight, they effortlessly move through eras, rhythm and style with a sense of class, intention, and a noticeably dark streak at times. Their sound was bred in basements, and now they will be gracing ours! On support we have a line up of some of our cities most notorious trouble makers in the form of @tahll , @dj_philsmart , @miracle.passing , @tinywhisk_nrg and @winona_router_ See you there !
