Wharf Chambers

Fund-laser
2026-01-31 19:00 (Europe/London)
A night completely jam packed with transfem talent all raising money for transfem mutual aid.
Featuring:
Izzie Drizzle emerged from a tar pit on Ganymede and came to Earth to combat the British
government and protect trans rights with her gothic post-rap stylings!
Mhad Mheezie is a self proclaimed Pop Princess from Leeds, UK. Through catchy bedroom
beats and tongue in cheek lyrics she aims to create the perfect soundtrack for ruining your
lipstick whilst kissing your best friend, reapplying your makeup in the club bathroom or falling in
love with the person you just met on the dancefloor
The Leeds DIY band Yuppie Supper play really quiet then really loud. Inspired by 90s alt-rock,
post-punk and indie, they play complex grooves, spacey chords, and distorted bangers that gets
an audience to waltz and mosh in the same two minutes.
Sick of the boring music today, Woke Nonsense exists to bring the latest in Marxist musical
developments to a venue near you! Boasting intense riffs at blistering speeds, their “GRRRLZ to
the front” energy and intense stage presence provides a powerful show that’s better seen than
explained.

Biodiversity is a not-for-profit party celebrating the connection between music and the natural world.

Beat:Cancer Leeds Ft Xenturion Prime, Neonsol & The Cuban Boys
2026-02-07 19:00 - 23:00
Xenturion Prime can be summed up in one word – Powersynth. Their music is highly versatile yet focused, hard-hitting yet melodic and fueled by pure emotion. It is futuristic and forward thinking but still has a strong connection to the past. Xenturion Prime take these elements and forge them into one truly eclectic sound, uncompromising and ambitious in its nature.
Neonsol’s palette of dreamy synth harmonies, growling basslines and mixed vocals has garnered interest among the British and Scandinavian dark electro audience. The group seeks to bring catchy melodies back to the noisier side of the dancefloor.
Cuban Boys are an English electronic group and production team, currently composed of Skreen B and Ricardo Autobahn. Their track ‘Cognoscenti vs Intelligentsia’ became better known as ‘Hamster Dance’ thanks to an online animation. It reached No.4 in the UK charts in 1999.

Seven by Seven
2026-02-08 15:00 - 21:00
Seven by Seven is a friendly open decks vinyl playing session. You can bring along and play us seven of your 7” 45rpm vinyl singles – hence Seven by Seven – or just come and listen to others play. The 7” 45rpm format is the only limitation. We don’t dictate the type of music – you can play whatever you want to, and we relish that variety!

No DJ skills are needed, and our ethos is – no pressure, no competition, no egos.

Please get there early to put your name down. We draw names out for the running order and later arrivals may be too late to be drawn. We also sometimes reduce the number of records that some people can play if we have high numbers attending – but we do try to fit in as many seven record sets as possible.

Seven by Seven is a non-commercial operation. We run our sessions purely for the joy of playing and listening to records as a shared experience.

On Friday Feb 13th we return to Wharf Chambers to melt away the final dregs of winter blues with more low end goodness. It’s all about community love this Valentine’s Day.
We’ve had to wait a while to get one of our no.1 fave dj’s on an LQG line up – the best things take time. Joseph lives and breathes sound in all its forms, providing glimpses into his world through forward thinking productions, perfectly curated Noods radio shows and club sets that stay with you. He’ll have 2 hours to stretch out and guide us down rarely trodden paths on our way to collective dancefloor bliss.
Hoisting the LQG colours for the first couple of hours is resident doof doof empress and purveyor of head shaking, fist pumping rollers Day Dot. After shutting up shop at the Pleasuredome with a hearty amount of pensive and sexy bumpers, she’s back on home turf to set the dance floor to rights!

Youth Anthems 44 - Benny Diction (Family friendly hip-hop/electro-pop matinee)
2026-02-22 13:30 - 16:00
We’re back for our 13th year (the difficult teens!). To kick it off we’re focusing on the power of words with a mix of hip-hop, storytelling and pop. We’re also trying two new things. One is we’re bringing in tickets for under 18s. These are still free (though I’ve chucked in a pay what you feel option to raise some money for charity at each gig) but will help keep an eye on capacity.

The other change is that if you feel it would help your child for any reason to come and see the gig room before it starts packing out then we’re keeping some time available from 1-1:30pm so just drop us a line on youthanthems@gmail.com and we’ll organise that for you.

Now to the acts!

Benny Diction
https://goldonthemixer.bandcamp.com/album/look-both-ways-gotm066
Fast, fun (though ultimately heart felt) hip-hop on a 90s tip. For fans of J5, DJ Format or The Streets.

Natural Jackrz
2026-02-27 23:59 - 2026-02-28 04:00
Imagine Queer Acid House for the Hot, the Bold, and the Jackin’
Natural Jackrz is a new club night rooted in queer energy and acid house ecstasy. We’re bringing back the raw, sweat-drenched spirit of the underground — pulsing 303s, stripped-back grooves, and that unmistakable jackin’ rhythm that moves you. This night is for the beautifully unfiltered: bodies in motion, eyes closed, sweat glistening under lights. Think sexy, inclusive, and unashamedly euphoric. A space to lose yourself, find your people, and ride the acid groove ‘til sunrise. Give the dancefloor back to the queers who jack.
