Here we goooo… a special @night__routine to finish this year off!
Wicked line up including myself, @tomwins99 and the amazing @themenendezbros ( plus a secret surprise warm up!)
Dec 5th lock it in
Night Routine @thecrossldn with myself and @denizmenendez went off 🔥
Every Night Routine event is so special for so many different reasons, but this one was different. The crowd felt the energy from the music, and that connection kept me going all night.
Moments like these remind me why I do this!
When the music connects - everything else disappears!

As @night__routine continues to grow and solidify its place within the underground London rave scene, I’m finding myself more and more grateful.
Grateful for every person who chooses to spend their night with us, who shows up ready to dance, connect and lose themselves in the music.
Grateful for the DJs who trust the vision, who step into the booth and bring their sound, their energy and their craft to the line-ups.
Each event reminds me why we do this: not just for the music, but for the community we have created!
To everyone who has supported, danced, mixed, helped set up, stayed until closing or believed in what we’re building- you are the core of this.
Night Routine is growing because of you, and I’m truly thankful.
Here’s to more nights, more sound systems pushed to their limit, more DJs taking risks, more dancers finding themselves in the strobes and the bass
We’re just getting started.
📸 @bertrandnaugustin thank you for capturing the night
The second video in my mini seried and diving deeper into my event Night Routine - how it started, why I built it, and how it’s grown!
I wanted an event where I could play my style of music from start to finish, no compromises, just pure energy. A night where the crowd never knows what’s coming next but they feel it the moment it hits.
What started as a small idea has been running for two years now and watching it grow this quickly has been unreal. Thank you to everyone who’s been part of the journey — we’re only just getting started and so much more to come in 2026
The next @night__routine Dec 5th ❤️
Alright, I’m Matt Lee. DJ and Founder of @night__routine .
The ethos behind Night Routine is about bringing back that authentic rave energy, creating nights that move fluidly across the underground spectrum. My style blends techno, tech house, and garage , both old and new, and what makes my flow mine, is being able to switch between genres, keeping the crowd guessing and the energy alive from start to finish.
I’ve had the privilege of playing in Ibiza and London, at some incredible venues including Fabric, The Gallery, The Cross, and Es Paradis. These experiences have shaped how I approach both my sets and my events , always building a journey, not just a playlist.
Thank you @erickjsn for filming my mini series about me in gorgeous Ibiza, my second home and sanctuary. Listen to me about how I came to start DJing! #raveculture #lifeofadj

Two years deep, and we’re back where it all started , @thecrossldn
Massive love to everyone who’s been part of the journey - the day ones, the fresh faces, the ravers, the dancers, and every single person bringing that energy to the floor.
Couldn’t have done it without the fam. Big shout out to @bigfoseyy for giving it a proper wallaaaaaap on the night! 💥
Till the next one - same vibe, same energy, more memories. Dec 5th hold tight!

Night Routine @ The Cross: The Home Where It All Began – 13th Installment
Who’s tagging along for the 14th? Dec 5th
Drop your fave memory below. #NightRoutine #TheCrossLondon #WhereItAllBegan #DJTomStarling @thecrosslondon
Hello, I’m DJ Matt Lee,
I’m all about that high-energy, genre-bending vibe that brings the rave spirit roaring back to life. I don’t just spin tracks, I create experiences, weaving through house, techno, garage, and more with a seamless flow that hits you in the face .
My sets are an experience: relentless bass, soaring builds, and drops that turn a crowd into a pulsing, sweaty family. Here to take you on a journey with my event Night Routine, part nostalgic ‘90s warehouse rave, part soundscape, all heart. It’s a different kind of raving, where I move through every corner of music, reading the room and keeping the energy cranked to 11.
You might catch me dropping a garage classic, then slamming into a gritty techno banger, only to surprise you with a soulful house vocal that hits you right in the feels.
Growing Up in the Rave Scene: My Roots in D&B which we been my foundation to keep things moving and never let the energy dip!
