-Featuring-
HEADLINE DJ Harry Gay – DJ and full-time gayer from London. Responsible for Queer House Party, Donk If You’re Horny, and the 2013 outbreak of super gonorrhoea, Harry leads a new wave of London dance-floor revolutionaries. Serving a rowdy blend of hard house, filthy bootlegs, techno belters, and dirty donk. And yes, it is his real name.
Bosslady – Cambridge-based producer and underground dance scene DJ. All killers, no fillers: expect a seriously slamming selection of fresh beats, killer drops, cheeky mixes and LOTS of MOOMBAHTON.
Talulah – in a debut Club Urania set, queer DJ Talulah mixes hard drum and global percussive beats. Expect polyrhythmic club music from baile funk, reggaetón, and latin tech.
Performances from:
Zaki Musa – returning to Club Urania after a stupendous, high-flying visit last season! Zaki is a multi-disciplinary creative practitioner and aerialist from Singapore whose work explores concepts of identity, technology, and the art of narrative storytelling. Zaki is an associate artist with Jacksons Lane, Upswing Aerial, and frequent collaborator with the Cocoa Butter Club.
Chiyo – The Prinx of Provocation. Named one of Attitude mag’s 101 Trailblazers of the Year, and fresh off the Royal Court stage after starring in Travis Alabanza’s Sound of the Underground, CHIYO has been known to serve sex, wit, and rage. The first trans man to ever compete for Mr Gay UK—you know already know he’s hotttt!
Orlando – ‘No human being, since the world began, has ever looked more ravishing.’ Inspired by Virginia Woolf’s gender-bending novel, Orlando is the drag king persona of writer, researcher, and presenter Holly James Johnston who has performed at the likes of Tate Britain, the National Gallery, and the V&A. Orlando melds masculinities and femininities together through lip-sync, spoken word, and dance.
Peyvand Sadeghian – An interdisciplinary performer fresh from a UK tour, Peyvand brings a special extract from their award winning solo show, DUAL دوگانه. This cross-medium project delves into Peyvand’s dual citizenship in the UK and Iran, exploring passports & protest. This performance will feature a guest appearance from the Iconoclastic Dictator [of Fun], promising Persian party-time and a passport lottery.
