Sneaky Pete's

Two underground parties known for their shared passion of eclectic sounds and community driven club nights, Edinburgh’s Mile High Club and Glasgow heavyweights Hijack join forces to present Mile Hijack at Scotland’s favourite wee sweatbox – Sneaky Pete’s – inviting along a plethora of local talent.

Fourth Precinct of Hijack fame makes his way across the belt to give Edinburgh a night of all things house, UKG and the good stuff in between. TODD makes his Mile Hijack debut with some deep dark tech and tremendous 4×4 minimal cuts. Mile High Club’s yung kidd will help take you all on the journey, adding a mixed bag of underground bass and percussive focussed sounds.

King No-One know how to make a great show f***ing fantastic. Highly infectious pop-rock riffs and stadium-sized hooks from an iconic band whose existence is one rooted in the North.

Sending it into the start of next week every Sunday at Sneaky Pete’s.

After a busy festival season and open-air parties is time to go back to the club.

Club Mediterraneo returns to Sneaky Pete’s for the last dance of 2024 welcoming back SweetNightJoe aka John Russell.

Joe runs Sweetnighter, a party at The Jago in London, since 2018 and has been collecting records from around the world for the past 15 years.

He will join forces with Club Mediterraneo founder Andrea Montalto for a night of Organic grooves without borders and dance floor heaters.

Astrid Sonne is a Danish, London based composer and viola player. Throughout her acclaimed discography, Astrid Sonne has been carefully crafting different moods through electronic and acoustic instrumental endeavours. 

On her most recent album “Great Doubt” (January 2024) this skill is refined, now with the distinct addition of the composer’s own vocal in the fore. The tone of each track is unmistakably Sonne’s, structured around contrasts through an impeccable sense of timing. Lyrics on the album are sparse, merely highlighting different scenes or emotional states of being, leaving the music to fill in the blanks. Yet they also form a pattern of ambiguity, consolidated through the album title, searching for answers through looking at how and what you are asking, questions for the world, questions of love. 

The viola, a trusted companion since Astrid Sonne’s youth, appears effortlessly throughout the album, fully integrated into the sonic universe; through a pizzicato driven arrangement in the poignant track “Almost” or along with booms and claps in mutated cinematic stabs during “Give my all”, paraphrasing Mariah Carey’s 1997 ballad. Yet the string section also gives way to explorations of woodwinds, counterbalancing the bowed movements with digital brass and airy flutes. Finally, beats and detuned piano are fresh additions to the soundscape, cementing how Sonne’s practice is always evolving into new territories.

This spooky season we have Edinburgh’s own Intergalactic Disco Vampire joining us at our favourite sweatbox

Eve Simpson, artist and songwriter from South Shields, brings her only full-band show of the year to Sneaky Pete’s this Autumn. To celebrate the release of her single, Always Waiting, Eve has curated this very special, collaborative show, before heading off on a 3-month adventure across the world early next year. Supported by Youth Music and Help Musicians, Eve’s music has featured on BBC Scotland’s Track of the Week, BBC Introducing, BBC 6 Music, and received editorial support on Soundcloud’s Hot UK Pop. Eve gigs extensively throughout the UK, featuring at Edinburgh Hogmanay, Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Celtic Connections, and selling out headlines from Edinburgh to London. Eve’s writing has seen her collaborate with Beth Nielsen Chapman, Kathryn Tickell, and The Lake Poets, as well as scoring the North East segment of a FOCAL International award-winning film. Head on down to say a temporary goodbye, before Eve lands back in the UK with a bang next Spring.  

For our October party, we welcome the esteemed Glasgow party duo Talkless.

Talkless have been running stellar parties since 2021, pushing forward the modern UK sound by inviting guests such as Kaval, Nikki Nair, Stones Taro and Wil Hofbauer to name a few. We have witnessed some of their bi-monthly shindigs at both La Cheetah and Broadcast and we can’t wait to host them at Sneaky Pete’s.

West London’s Kessoncoda are the duo of drummer Tom Sunney and keyboardist Filip Sowa. Standing firm between acoustic tradition and electronica, Kessoncoda is founded on a unique blend of melodic ostinato-laced piano and unwavering drums. Drawing on their array of musical interests, Filip and Tom take influence from rock, electronica, ambient, breakbeat and soundtracks for film and artists such as Squarepusher, Radiohead and Clark. They’re developing a new vision of jazz revolutionized by lulling dance music and electronica in their tracks.

New York based livwutang coming in for October – one my favourite selectors at the moment

Often giving us glimpses into the past or the future with her selection – her sets continue to subtly create full fledged sensory experiences, always attuned to immersive narrative building, delivered with a strong sense of danceability, confidence and poise

Dubby atmospherics, introspective strength + chaotic dexterity delivered with a psychedelic mixing style and an ear for convention-defying blends

Really looking forward to this show – tickets start at £7 🙂
