Groovy Juice is a collective of DJs and Producers based in South London. We are comprised of Condy,
Just Ollie, and Lucky Penny. Our mixing focuses on the funky and groovy sides of house, minimal and techno, spinning anything with an infectious groove.

As a trio we met in the summer of 2024 whilst seeing Gene on Earth at ION Festival, bonding over
our love for House. Music has always been a part of our lives, with Just Ollie starting his musical
journey with guitar, Lucky Penny the Drums/Piano and Condy’s first job being in a record store.
We are passionate about crate digging, hunting for the rarest sounds and vinyl-only releases.

We have a number of exciting shows coming up, including our first own event at Mezzanine in Tooting Market, and have begun a monthly show on Bloop radio.

Jack Miller and Oscar Farrell have been releasing music for four years under the title of Rein, racking up over 500,000 streams on Spotify with plays on radio one and support from artists such as Hammer, Dj Seinfeld and Kettama.

Kit likes music. His propensity for the mix was forged in the drum and bass ridden streets of south Manchester, so he sought to play a different sound; a sound that might (potentially) have been described as ‘eclectic’, ‘juicy’ and ‘funkadelic to the point of ridiculousness’. He has stated his sole aim is to bring a selection of beats that leave craters on dance floors, and sweaty pools on the ceiling. A veteran of Indigo, Shoreditch BOXPARK (the upstairs zone) and his friend Steve’s basement, Kit is not one to miss.

Meow Meow is the boundary-pushing force that merges the worlds of dark fashion and eclectic soundscapes. Known for her striking Gothic and Lolita-inspired fashion, her sets are a quirky yet intense visual and auditory experience.

Having graced the decks at iconic venues like Elektrowerks and created her own ghetto tech event, Freaking U Out, Meow Meow always keeps the energy fresh and unpredictable.

I like to make music that tells stories, whether through descriptive acoustic ballads done with just me and the guitar, or an energetic live looping tune that brings people through a tale of sounds and feelings. Music is such an incredible gift from God and it's my calling to use it to get people to feel more connected to themselves and the beautiful world around us.

My name is Charlie McMahon and I am a fashion and textile designer from the North East of England. My work is inspired by rural textile traditions and bringing them into a high fashion context. My most recent project is inspired by a series of nightmares I had as a child featuring the painting ‘Miss Wong’ by Vladimir Tretchikoff, which hung in my living room when I was growing up. Inspired by the paintings vivid colours and the subjects piercing stare, I have made a wardrobe of clothes for this nightmare woman. Featuring over the top colours and prints that swarm around the body and unconventional silhouettes and pattern cutting, in order to emulate the disorienting feeling of being in a nightmare.
