Guest DJs

​

Hewan Clarke
Often described as the quintessential Manchester DJ, Hewan’s legacy in the city’s nightlife runs deep. Known for his commitment, consistency, and influence, he remains one of the foundational figures in the UK’s underground music culture.

​

Colin Curtis
A true pioneer, Colin’s DJ career spans over six decades. From Northern Soul and JazzFunk to Fusion, Boogie, and House, his reach and impact are legendary. A trailblazer of UK Jazz Dance since the 1970s, his sets at venues like Rafters, Berlin, and The Jazz Rooms helped define a movement. Today, Colin continues to inspire new generations through his Freestylin/Vybe sessions and Jazz Dance Fusion radio show.
