Biodiversity 003 - Sofie K b2b Sam PV (NTS/Pumping Velvet), Frantasia, Joe FM

After a summer hiatus, we return to Wharf Chambers with London party starters Sofie K and Sam PV joining us for a b2b alongside Leeds legends and power couple James Frances and Ana Daya - all raising money for Earth Daughters. ——————— Sofie K
 Known for their monthly NTS residency ‘Work Out’, Sofie is a master of sleazey house, disco and italo. A regular at venues across the UK such as The White Hotel, Corsica Studios and Wharf, Sofie also has a strong track record for supporting not-for-profit parties and other charitable causes. With productions on numerous charity compilations and t-shirt designs to raise money for Medical Aid For Palestinians and Sistah Space, Sofie is someone we have been wanting to book for some time - guaranteed bangers and a big heart to go with it! For us, Sofia is one of the true underground heroes of our scene. Sam PV
 Sam is the head honcho of London-based queer party Pumping Velvet and is one of the bookers and programmers at new London party Brama. Regularly appearing at parties around the UK and more recently in the USA and South East Asia, Sam’s set’s are a melting pot of his London upbringing - Growing up going to Notting Hill Carnival and FWD, Sam expertly treads a boundary between soundsystem pressure and the upbeat house and pumpers that you might more regularly associate with a queer party. Never afraid to take risks and throw in some pop vocals, Sam knows that there is no such thing as a guilty pleasure - a perfect mixture of quality dance music and reminding us that the dancefloor is a space for fun and to not take yourself too seriously. No strangers to a b2b due to playing together regularly at Pumping Velvet, we cannot wait for them to take over the controls at Wharf for what will be a seriously fun couple of hours. ——————— Warming up we have the Soul Potential and Friday Feeling bosses James Frances and Ana Daya - better known as Frantasia when they play b2b. Anyone who has been going out in Leeds over the past few years will be familiar with these two heroes, whether it is bumping into them on a dancefloor or attending one of their own parties, we cannot think of many who have done more to support the Leeds scene in recent times. Moving through genres with ease, we are sure that they will set the tone for our headliners perfectly and are excited to see what they have up their sleeves. Our resident Joe FM will be bringing us home for the final hour. ——————— All profits from this party will be going to Earth Daughters, a nonprofit organization that empowers Indigenous women and youth through community-led climate justice initiatives and research that elevates Indigenous science.
