most of my followers won’t need reminding of just how dire the situation has become for those seeking asylum in the UK. half of my family come from refugees, and my grandparents getting permanent status is the whole reason I exist - they even met in the camp in Leicester they were both assigned to.
it’s easy to feel dismayed, helpless and despairing, but there are tangible ways to make a difference. for the past year, I’ve been volunteering with @care4calais facilitating free, weekly english classes for those seeking asylum. these classes aren’t just about learning; they provide an important social space for students to meet outside of their accommodation and connect with others.
we’re raising funds to cover the cost of the space so please join us at @coffeekaffa to help these vital classes continue for another year ❤️

🫧✨o•rbyss aims to help soothe the queer spectrum and focus on the well-being of the community. Queer DJs are invited to submit a mix to showcase an alternative side to their music library outside of a rave and take us on a meditative journey. ✨ listen on soundcloud 🔗 link in bio ✨💋
Notes on the mix:
“Recorded live at Sauna Social Club, Pumping Velvet residents Sam PV and Sofie K alternated for each hour of this sumptuous 4 hour set’”
Sofie K
Holding down their monthly NTS show Work Out for the past 7 years, Sofie K’s selections span wonky proto-house, sleazy synth pop and other miscellaneous pumpers. Their upbeat, unfussy sound earned them a residency at London-based queer party Pumping Velvet, and frequent appearances at Corsica Studios, Pickle Factory and The White Hotel.
They’ve released a string of productions for charity compilations on Ransom Note, Human Endeavour and and Pollination. Sofie helped set up the Manchester & Salford Save Our Scene collective, soundtracked documentary short Mosaic, and designed a string of charity t-shirts raising money for organisations like Sistah Space and Medical Aid For Palestinians.
Sam PV
Sam is the founder and a resident at Pumping Velvet, a London-based Queer dance party, and regularly plays at queer parties across the UK and US and other international gigs including Planeta Manas (Lisbon), Savage (Hanoi), Kockiri (Seoul) and (Re)treat Festival (Vietnam).
Sam grew up in London, his tastes moulded by the city’s diverse dance music scenes: from childhood trips to Notting Hill Carnival, to formative dancefloor experiences at nights like FWD, Trash and Süd Electronic. He brings these influences to his DJing in sets that span a broad gamut of genres.
Frustrated by the lack of queer spaces where you could hear both a Svek record and Kylie in the same night, Sam founded Pumping Velvet in 2018, driven by the firm belief that any barriers erected between pop and ‘serious’ dance music are entirely artificial and that there’s no such thing as a guilty pleasure. It’s this same ethos and disregard for boundaries that makes his DJ so thrilling.
So excited to have @sofieok___ as 1 of our 2 DJ hosts for the evening!
