Lena Willikens has a reputation for transforming dancefloors into something beyond escapism – places where joy, sadness, and memory dissolve into collective dream states. Her sets are defined by instinct, mood, and colour, drawing dancers into a place where strange rhythms, hypnotic pulses and raw momentum blur the lines between body and spirit. Witchcraft in its purest form.

For our FINAL import of 2025 we are thrilled to have none other than Scotland based powerhouses Hiba & Ria to see us out!
Hiba is a Scotland-based DJ and selector from Lebanon whose tune selection draws from the diversity and dynamism of Arabic music, they channel the transformatively healing nature of collective cultural spaces to celebrate MENA cultures. Ria is an Edinburgh based DJ and multi-hyphenate artist, from South London. Ria’s tunes feature groovy riddims, heavy percussion, catchy basslines and a fun remix selection. Expect Soca, Dancehall, Amapiano, and Baile Funk.
Separate, the two are both seriously talented djs who bring unique and powerful selections while leading the dance floor gracefully, together they are a bundle of energy that work seamlessly between their strengths. We’re really in for something special with these two behind the reigns for the night! Along with them they’ve invited two budding selectors Pr3sh and E-NA$T¥ from their recent Bass Line production and DJ course through Radio Buena Vida! Two fresh faces to start the night off and we can’t wait to see what heat they have in store.
THIS IS THE FINAL IMPORT OF 2025 – no better way to close out an incredibly fun launch year than to celebrate some of our favourite FLINTA selectors in Scotland. Come dance with us before our winter slumber!
Hot Mess is Scotland’s longest-running and, some would say, most beloved queer clubbing institution.
Eschewing big-name guest DJs and performance acts in favour of a back-to-basics approach, the party’s success derives from two simple factors: ecstatic, dramatic and arousing music, from tear-drenched orchestral disco to high-NRG alt-80s classics and bleepy psychedelic techno; and the devoted crowd of dancers who make the party a playful taps-aff delight month after month.
It started in 2010 and a few years later found its long-term Edinburgh home at Sneaky Pete’s, where it’s been a place of queer comfort and joy for people of all genders, sexualities, ethnicities and ages ever since.
Host DJ Simonotron is absolutely cock-a-hoop to be bringing BIG HOT MESS back to the Fruitmarket Gallery Warehouse. We promise to blow your mind while simultaneously giving you little forehead kisses and calling you a good boy. Wear whatever makes you feel HOT and get ready to dance your pants clean off.
This is an earlier-hours party! Doors open at 8pm and we finish at 12 midnight, like Cinderella at the rave.
Sneaky Pete’s returns to Fruitmarket’s Warehouse with longtime club favourite Midland.
From the carpeted dancefloors of Free Rotation to regular slots at Berghain and Panorama Bar, Fabric, Glastonbury’s NYC Downlow and countless others, Midland is heralded for his attention to the craft and his genius ability to deliver classy yet raucous sets. There’s a perfect record for every moment, and he usually has it.
For both his record mixes and productions, Midland’s won multiple accolades including Radio 1’s Essential Mix of the Year and Mixmag’s Song of the Year, and was featured in Rolling Stone’s Greatest Dance Songs of All Time. His 2024 debut album ‘Fragments of Us’ was named one of the best albums of the year by Resident Advisor, Mixmag and DJ Mag respectively, and amongst others, he’s been a trusted remixer for Dua Lipa, The Chemical Brothers, St Vincent, Oliver Sim and Little Dragon.
His multiple sellout nights at Sneaky Pete’s in the past go down as some of the very best ever. We’re delighted to have him playing at the Fruitmarket this November, all night long, at our only Installation Series weekend of the year.
Athens of the North is delighted to invite friend of the label (we did a remix for his recent LP) to Athens of the North Disco club on November 22nd. A friend of the label and a brilliant Musician and DJ..
Joe Goddard, member of Hot Chip and The 2 Bears, songwriter, producer, DJ, remixer and co-founder of the Greco-Roman label. Like Four Tet, Caribou and Jamie xx, Joe combines a thirst for experimentation, an instinctive understanding of the dancefloor and a love of left-of–centre pop music.
During the 1990s, Joe attended Elliott School in Putney, where he met his Hot Chip bandmate Alexis Taylor and his long-time friend Kieran Hebden. As a teenager, he progressed from indie and hip hop to drum’n’bass to house and garage, always thrilled by those moments when underground music infiltrated the charts.
As well as working on seven Hot Chip albums and two with Raf Rundell as The 2 Bears, Joe has remixed the likes of Kraftwerk, New Order, Disclosure, Dirty Projectors, the Chemical Brothers, Wiley and Jessie Ware, produced tracks for Franz Ferdinand, Bernard Sumner, Little Boots, Dels and Mashrou Leila and released a string of solo singles. Gabriel, his haunting 2011 hit with singer Valentina, was his first big success beyond Hot Chip. “It made me feel that I was capable of doing things outside the band,” he says. This led to “Taking Over” and his fist solo album proper on Domino “Electric Lines”.
A keen collaborator, he has released tracks with Michael Mayer, Tuff City Kids, Eats Everything, Mathew Dear, Mixhell and Hayden Thorpe from Wild Beasts in recent years and has some nice projects currently in the lab alongside his follow up solo album.

After selling out London, Kelly Lee Owens is taking ASCEND on the road for a run of sweaty techno club shows across the UK.
In celebration of her new EP, KELLY, each night brings the music back to the dancefloor it was created for.

No phones are allowed on the dancefloor. A photographer will capture the night, and we’ll share a link afterwards.
This is about protecting the music, losing your head and ASCENDing together.

Eleven years deep and we couldn’t be more buzzing to welcome shamanic legend of the rave Felix Dickinson to Sneaks to mark the occasion!
With over three decades in the game, Felix cut his teeth throwing free parties and illegal raves with Tonka Sound System back when the scene was still writing its own rules. From co-founding Ugly Music in the 90s to releases on DFA, Rush Hour, Eskimo and Golf Channel, his reach is far and runs deep.
You’ll find him holding down residencies at Houghton, Love International and delivering that legendary closing set at Glastonbury’s Genosys every year, not to mention his sets at Maceo’s which are an annual highlight.
Playing and producing music characterised by a deep appreciation for the past, a love of the present, and a vision for the future of electronic dance music Felix is clear in his approach to the floor “A DJ has two jobs: to make people dance and introduce them to new music” he never fails in his bid to do both.
Label head Percy Main warms things up as is tradition.
Limited capacity. Party hats. Caterpillar cake. Sneaky Pete’s. One for the heads and feet.
