Fresh from standout sessions in Exeter, Sync or Swim land in Bristol for their first run at Lakota - bringing a high-energy blend of house, garage, techno, and electro built for full-send dancefloors.
Charlie Boon headlines, joined by Sofa, with Pipes and Shimmy holding it down for the Sync or Swim crew. No filler. Just momentum from start to finish.
Charlie Boon
Raised above his dad’s nightclub in Cornwall, Charlie Boon grew up inside club culture. Now London-based, he’s built serious momentum through relentless DJ sets and backed releases, earning support from BBC Radio 1 and tastemakers across the scene.
2026 marks his most confident chapter yet - a refined sound shaped by a huge 2025, releases on Gorgon City’s REALM, collaborations with ODF and Club Caviar, and packed festival sets at Reading and Boardmasters. A major single lands in January, already backed by Jamie Jones, Rossi, and Josh Baker, with landmark shows ahead - including his Fabric debut.
Sofa
Fast, functional, and rooted in the underground. Sofa moves through house, garage, 140, and hardgroove with pace and precision. Her sets have taken her across the UK, Ireland, Ibiza, and Australia - from GemFest and Reading Festival to clubs worldwide. Working with Red Bull and PullUp Recordings, she’s firmly part of the next wave shaping modern club sound, with original productions built for long nights and packed rooms.
Pipes
At the heart of Exeter’s underground, Pipes brings peak-time pressure. Speed garage, house, and hardgroove stitched together with non-stop energy. With sets alongside Sammy Virji, Conducta, and Saint Ludo, he’s known for warming rooms properly - and pushing them over the edge.
Shimmy
A deep, considered selector blending minimal, acid tech house, and electro. With a background in classical music and over 20 years studying piano, cello, and theory, Shimmy brings a unique harmonic touch to the dancefloor. Praised by Overmono and Paranoid London, and sharing stages with Skream, Mall Grab, Daniel Avery, and The Egyptian Lover - this is depth with bite.
