DJ Set
GIN’s upbeat set shaped by the pace and energy of London’s Black Queer dancefloors will weave in high energy genres of music from Boyoun, Soca, Dancehall, to Bounce, Broken-beat, Footwork and electronic music. Influenced by Carnival Soundsystems, and London Queer Nightlife, the performance serves as both a release and a containment of cultural memory, tracing the relationship between Caribbean musical traditions, rave and club culture, and queer diasporic life in London in its varied and beautiful forms.
GIN is a seasoned event producer and community organiser with over a decade of experience shaping inclusive, transformative nightlife spaces. A driving force in embedding safer space policies across the UK club scene, GIN has worked alongside pioneering collectives like BBZ, Pxssy Palace, and Resis’dance to reimagine what nightlife can be for QTBIPOC communities. They are the co-founder of multiple groundbreaking projects, including Black Obsidian Sound System, Sex and Rage, and Faggamuffin Bloc Party which is one of the UK’s first openly queer sound systems at Carnival. Across all of these platforms, GIN’s mission remains clear: to create spaces and collectives rooted in QTBIPOC liberation and cultural innovation.
