Did you know?
"In its site on Bishopsgate since 1804, Dirty Dick's was named after warehouse owner Richard Bentley who refused to wash or clean after the death of his fiancee. He became a legend in the area and his legacy lives on in the name."
Shoreditch is to London now, what King's Road was in the '60s.

Cherry Jamz (dj Collective)
Ovrtic is a London-based DJ & producer with an eclectic ear for rhythm, groove, and texture. Drawing from Breaks, UKG, Tribal rhythms, House, Hip-Hop, and leftfield club sounds, his sets are bold, fluid, and emotionally charged - driven by a sense of adventure, sensitivity, and a refusal to be boxed in. Born and raised in the London's NW, Mo has a love for deep, diverse sounds. With a selection rooted in house, disco, minimal and trance, his sets are spacey, hypnotic, and groove-focused, blending organic percussion with electronic textures to create expansive, atmospheric journeys. Always subtly soulful and energising, Mo’s sound drifts through deep, minimalist grooves designed to move both body and mind. London-based DJ, Belmar blends the sounds of UK house, garage, and techno. Whether playing for daytime summer vibes or an underground club set, expect dancefloor fillers to get you moving.
