Sterling Press
Verse Metrics
for fans of… Blur, Suede, The Dare, Fontaines D.C.
November 8th, 2025
Sterling Press are a four-piece rock band from West London, merging gritty rock riffs with the infectious thud of dance-punk. The band – childhood neighbours & long time best friends Marlon, Ed, Greg, and Lucien – spent their formative years playing every dive London had to offer, bonding over shared obsessions with The Beatles & Blur. After living in Liverpool for a couple of years the boys became DJ’s at the iconic Jacaranda Club, hosting weekly indie disco parties and using the money they earned to buy synthesizers, providing the songwriting foundations for their new sound.
Hot Mess:
Queer Dance Party
November 7th, 2025
Hot Mess is Scotland’s longest-running and, some would say, most beloved queer clubbing institution.
Simonotron plays tear-drenched orchestral disco, raw, bumping house, high-NRG classics and bleepy psychedelic techno all night long. Offering dancefloor comfort and joy for people of all genders, sexualities, ethnicities and ages, Hot Mess will blow your mind, give you little forehead kisses, and call you a good boy.

Volens Chorus:
umru
November 6th, 2025
The return of the enigma that is umru
After last years sold out club we thought it was only right to invite back the president of modern day pop production and purveyor of only the best of the worlds underground music, umru.
Known for slamming out everything from baile funk to ambient pop as well as producing for the likes of Chali xcx and Caroline Polachek we’re excited to have umru come back to the sneakies decks.
On support we have Volens Chorus resident and hyperpop hyperstan Sea Urchin as well boss man quarterpoundernocheese.
Certainly not a night to be sniffed at.
Entry tokens up top, get them quick cause they’re gonna go.

Katalysis:
LWS
ROXAN
Katelate
November 5th, 2025
Across dubstep and its after-ripples, Brazilian street party funk, Chicago juke trax, techno from around the world, and way beyond, DJs and producers have painted psychedelic soundscapes, birthed unearthly creatures, created impossible devices, and moved unknowable ways since Kraftwerk & YMO said ‘go’. Katalysis accelerates the reaction of creativity with passion, our need to move our bodies coming into dialogue with our search for meaning and beauty.
For the last time in 2025, the walls of Sneaky Pete’s will shake and rattle with the frequencies of Katalysis. Joined by Headset veteran and heavyweight slinger LWS and UoE’s Electronic Music Society president and cowgate queen Roxan, Katelate will be bringing you a night of dark, powerful, ethereal UK bass soundscapes and workouts to touch your soul and invigorate your body. Remember, remember the date, because this one will go off with a mighty boom!
Led, as it always is, by the marginalised, this vanguard of the edge of the envelope draws from experiences of exclusion, otherness, alterity, subterfuge, counterculture, introspection, migration, racialisation, disabling, and queerness. This night is brought to you and hosted by Katelate, filling an hour each night with the bedrock of the katalytic sound.
queer dancefloors • transcendent rhythms • curious minds • resolute spirits

Matt Wilde
Eloi
for fans of… J Dilla, Pete Rock, Robert Glasper, Joe-Armon Jones
November 4th, 2025
Matt Wilde is a Manchester-based artist, producer and pianist whose music lives at the intersection of electronic beat making and jazz improvisation.
Shaped as much by J Dilla, MF DOOM and early UK garage as by jazz harmony and crate-digging discoveries like Bill Evans, Wilde’s sound embraces the rawness of live improvisation while remaining beat-forward and heavily textured – built around drum machines, his vintage Rhodes piano, looped melodic fragments and a fearless sense of rhythm.
He joins us this November following standout performances at major UK jazz festivals and at institutions like Camden’s Jazz Cafe.
