Sneaky Pete's

In just a few years London’s George Riley has become an unstoppable force in forward-thinking pop with producers like Anz, Hudson Mohawke, Vegyn, SBTRKT, Actress and more lining up to work with her.

A local hero in her own right who has already made a powerful imprint internationally, Riley’s latest project Un/limited love (Ninja Tune) is a widely varied but gorgeously cohesive body of work that pays true homage to various styles of electronic music while interweaving her own artistic journey – and transformation into one of the most exciting, genre-blurring voices emerging today.

For our debut at Sneaky Pete’s, we welcome Dusky, a London production duo who have asserted themselves as leaders of the UK underground.

BBC Essential Mix of The Year contenders, DJ mag cover stars, Dusky are headliners everywhere from Berlin’s Panorama Bar to London’s Fabric. For their return to Edinburgh after two years, expect a variety of sounds, ranging from electro to breakbeat and deep techno to ambient melodics.

Can’t wait to see you in what is bound to be a memorable first show at our favourite club.

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

Meg10 is one of the most compelling DJs to come out of Berlin, with her genre-bending sound combining elements of rap and Y2K hip-hop with a broad spectrum of bassy-heavy club genres including dancehall, bass, breaks, techno, ghettotech and more.

Meg10’s unique sets and founding of Germany’s most talked about femme-focused club night Hoe_mies has garnered her features in press outlets including Vogue Germany, High Snobiety, VICE as well as invitations to curate stages at acclaimed festivals such as Fusion, Splash! and Melt among others.

Fifidiny is a rising figure in the Scottish music industry, celebrated for her exceptional talents as a singer and songwriter. Her music is a fusion of diverse influences, delivering an emotionally charged and captivating experience for her listeners. With accolades like the ‘Proudly Black and Scottish Artist of the Year’ and her latest single, ‘Don’t You Fear,’ Fifidiny continues to establish herself as an artist with a unique and inspiring voice.

Fifidiny has captured the hearts of music enthusiasts with the release of her latest lead single from her upcoming debut ep, by the same title ‘Don’t You Fear,’ released on October 27th is supported by The National Lottery through Creative Scotland. The song marks a significant milestone in Fifidiny’s musical journey, showcasing her extraordinary talent and ability to connect with listeners on a profound level.

To kick off our 10th year of parties in the city, we’re welcoming back one of our absolute favourite past guests – Violet – for a long overdue jaunt at Sneaky Pete’s.

Dance music royalty in her hometown Lisbon, co-founder of Rádio Quântica, and putting out records on her own imprint ‘Naive’ (much of which you will have heard at past Lionoil parties) – Violet last played with us in Edinburgh across the road at the Bongo back in 2018 with Lena Willikens, what a party that was. As well as making her mark as a producer and much revered DJ, she is a bastion of inclusiveness and openness in the dance music space, resident at queer party mina, whilst platforming and amplifying queer and trans DJs and producers in her sets and through the label. We’re absolutely stoked to have her back to Sneaks this time around!

Fittingly, we’ve asked along Edinburgh local Noodle – who you will definitely be familiar with by now. A self professed tech house enthusiast and prolific churner out of mixes, she’s been setting out her stall as a resident with the GRDN / Subterranean Sound crew, and picking up many fans along the way. This will be a fine pairing.

Our own Percy Main tops off the proceedings, for good measure. Expect breaks, acid, lots of low end and a proper perty in a warm room with too much smoke occasionally.

Pairing hardcore punk’s brief bursts of energy with electroclash’s minimal and sleazy sonics, Shelf Lives raise themes of societal collapse and hyper-consumerism with a warped smile.

At the forefront, the band make gloriously OTT pop songs that bring the abrasiveness and physicality of punk back to a small, cramped house party setting – creating music so rowdy you can practically feel the sweat on the ceiling and the sound of crushed cans under your feet. Bring it on.

For our next evening together, we are delighted to have Moray Leisure Centre come join us (/¯? ? ?)/¯

Clyde Built Radio resident, Pretext Records mainstay and EHFM host, Moray Leisure Centre is one of Edinburgh’s finest selectors with an eclectic taste across the dance music spectrum.

Serious party starter with a strong command of the decks, I’m super delighted to have her involved with this one – I’ve been trying ever since this party’s conception!
