OR:LA NAAFI (LIVE) NURSE £8 / £10 11pm - 4am
LOOSE JOINTS - OR:LA

Or:la first burst onto the scene after her debut release, 'UK Lonely' on Hotflush Recordings - a four track genre-spanning EP bridging UK bass subtleties with breakbeat and techno. After a string of successive releases on Hotflush, 2017 saw the birth of her collaboration label Deep Sea Frequency. Her current label venture, Céad is centred around the music of lesser known artists and strives to shine a spotlight on up and coming talent A vast knowledge of various genres and tempos is what separates Or:la from many other young DJ's at the moment. Her success as a dynamic producer and genre-spanning selector has seen her gain a residency at the Warehouse Project in Manchester, a BBC Radio One show and win DJ Mag's ‘Best DJ’ as well as tour globally on the festival and club circuit. Her La Potion club night started in London in 2021, focusing on showcasing queer creatives, with guests including Peach, Roi Perez and Mary Lake plus many more.

naafi - the pseudonym comes from acronym for the slang term used for the corner shop on army estates - cites the likes of Kelly Lee Owens, HAAi, Floating Points and Koreless as artists they’re influenced by as their career has progressed and naafi’s combination of hybrid live/improv/DJ set sits perfectly alongside these musicians at the forefront of experimental electronic music...not to mention their beloved trance/acid house/rave/garage or “sparkly music" which would be played on family car journeys, alongside pop favourites such as Britney Spears and JoJo.
