Sneaky Pete's

Our guest for this month is the one and only Kara Okay. Hailing from Amsterdam, he’s been on a tear over the last year with shows all over Europe as well as a festival run in Australia. From last year’s hit track “Let Me Lose My Mind” to collabs with Sam Alfred and Newtone, if you’ve been to any festival this last year, you’ll have definitely danced to his beat. This is going to be one for the books and we are honoured to have him over for his first ever Edinburgh show.

Support comes from BORLEY and a returning guest, Dundee’s very own BING.

For Agora’s first party of 2026, we welcome one of Belfast’s favourite sons, Reger.

Inspired by some of the best selectors in the industry, including Gilles Peterson, Ben UFO and Mr Scruff, Reger is known for his unique and intricate DJ sets that showcase a wide range of musical flavours and mind-bending selections. Having had multiple appearances at Belfast’s own AVA Festival – which included his first Boiler Room set – as well as a monthly residency at the Ulster Sports Club, we are thrilled to bring him to Sneaky Pete’s for the first time. Reger will be joined on the night by Agora resident LWS.

Once again we will be taking over the legendary Sneaky Pete’s for a night of grooves and good times. But this time we’re going goth and moody as we invite our very talented pals, Ascetic Practices and Nina Stanger to hop on the decks.

Think all things Dark Disco, Synthwave and EBM – so crack your eyeliner out!

Ascetic Practices is a contemporary goth collective run by @the_nightlark, @m0th.girl, @coryrotter and @philomenahhh. Each party they throw oozes with attitude and doubles up as a release party for their exclusive fanzine.

Nina Stanger is an interdisciplinary artist, designer and DJ based in Aberdeen, famous for her eclectic sets (earning her an RA mix of the day and a Boiler Room set), and that time Michael Gove wandered into her DJing

This party is in aid of LGBT Youth Scotland

Her monthly ehfm show, Wub Club, has become a go-to for fans of wobbling basslines and wheel-up-worthy grime. She’ll be bringing all manner of low-end goodness to Sneaky Pete’s this Feb, you’d best watch out!

Expect a set built with intention. No rush, no filler – just patient blends, weighty low-end and that raw, after-hours feeling we lean into.

yung kidd on support + a b2b to close off the night in true Mile High Club fashion.

Limited capacity. Familiar faces. See you inside.

Celebrating 8 years throwing parties in the capital with the one and only Peder Mannerfelt!

Whether he’s dropping underground classics on Karenn’s label Voam, Nervous Horizon, Numbers or Joy O’s label Hinge Finger, or working with Björk, Fever Ray and Smerz, no one does it quite like Peder. He’s been pulling about dancefloors for the best part of 20 years with his own brand of non-conformist bass and techno, splitting the difference between playful immediacy and daring experimentation.

More recently, his PM+ series and Peder Mannerfelt Produktion label has seen him thrive on the energy and community of contemporary club music, pushing the music’s possibilities in wild, unpredictable directions.

LWS (Peder Mannerfelt Produktion/TraTraTrax/can you feel the sun) joins on support with Palidrone residents Dansa (LUCKYME), Jace and Rudi

All night, no limits. Hand-made take control of the Sneaky’s booth, digging to the depths of their collection for all the house, groove and oddballs they have to offer. Hot one guaranteed!

Shaped by over a decade of moving through London, NYC, and Australia, Jitwam’s soulful music has always resisted borders.

The Indian-born creative has long been known for nomadically fusing psychedelic soul, jazz, and house into spiritually charged records. Since his debut “TJD001” in 2013, Jitwam quickly gained respect from tastemakers like Gilles Peterson and Moodymann, who included the EP’s “Keepyourbusinesstoyourself” in the now iconic DJ-Kicks compilation; a move that sparked international attention and set Jitwam on a global trajectory.

With a creative process that is both intentional and intuitive, he released his self-titled debut album, ????? ????, in 2017. This was followed by several EPs on his own imprint, The Jazz Diaries, and full-length albums Honeycomb (2019) and Third (2022). With over 100 million streams to date, Honeycomb remains a defining release in Jitwam’s catalogue.

Jitwam stands, as always, as a rare connective tissue between club rhythms and spiritual introspection. All part of his lived experience, his forthcoming project “ALLIN” project draws equal parts from classic soul, Indian cinema, lounge jazz, and Detroit house, a music community he holds a profound affinity for.

Again!

Buzzing (and kind of baffled) to be celebrating ten years of my residency aka Telfort’s Good Place at Sneaky Pete’s!

Since starting in 2016, following the release of ‘In A Good Place’ (TLFT001), whether taking the helm solo or going B2B with some of my favourite DJs – from Cinthie and Move D to Lola Haro and Baaz – it’s been quite the ride and some of the best nights of my DJing puff.

It’s always great seeing some familiar folks on the floor including a few who’ve been coming down since the very early days, and new faces equally. Hopefully it’s become a proper deep house staple in Edinburgh over the past decade for some too.

Huge thanks to Nick, Dan, and the many brilliant sneaks staff over the years for having me in and for the support. And to all the guest pals who have joined me so far:

Smallpeople (twice), Matt Karmil, Baaz, Karima F, Even Tuell, Cinthie (twice), Damiano von Erckert, Aziesch, Tom VR, Sinéad, Lola Haro (twice), Move D, DVDE, Privet

…Another ten years?

I’m playing all night long for this one, come along!

Ralph Lawson has played a huge role in electronic music as a DJ, producer, founder of 20/20 Vision, original resident DJ at the legendary Back to Basics club night and founder member of 2020 Soundsystem. Through it all Lawson has stayed true to the original spirit of acid house and retained a love of cutting-edge underground music in a multi-award career spanning over three decades.

Alongside Basics, Lawson has maintained long-standing DJ residencies at The Loft Barcelona, Space Ibiza and appeared regularly at fabric London since its inception – as well as The Hacienda, Sub Club, DC10, Warehouse Project, Watergate and Panorama Bar. Lawson is also no stranger to big festival stages with performances at Sonar, Glastonbury, Love International, Houghton, Robot Heart, Burning Man, Electric Elephant, Hideout, Festival No.6, Lovebox, The Garden, Gottwood, Bluedot, Beatherder among many others.

Lawson has been behind many iconic productions over the years, often working in the studio alongside Carl Finlow, including their classic series of remixes for Blaze including ‘Lovelee Dae’ and the seminal ‘Raptures of the Deep’, both widely regarded as classic moments in house music. Lawson also collaborated with Detroit’s Chez Damier on several releases for Prescription Underground before co-founding 2020 Soundsystem, a pioneering band that fused electronic beats with live musicians and produced the highly acclaimed albums ‘No Order’ and ‘Falling’ which garnered the club hits ‘Sliding Away’ ‘Ocean’ and ‘Psycho’.

With a career spanning nearly 40 years and a record collection amongst the most diverse and interesting on the planet, Luke Una has achieved near cult status amongst his devoted listeners with much lauded sets at Glastonbury, We Out Here, Houghton and many more.

From founding legendary Manchester club nights Electric Chair and Homoelectric to the wildly popular Homobloc festival – via acclaimed Worldwide FM shows and his É Soul Cultura compilations with Mr Bongo – Luke’s influence reaches far and wide.

We’re delighted to have him back for a special early DJ set at Free Time, with Haptic DJs on support.

The disco/techno heat of Perel’s releases on LCD Soundsystem’s DFA label are matched by her genuinely thrilling DJ Sets. Drawing on her early love for brooding New Wave and Post-Punk, she’s made seminal records on Running Back and Kompakt too. Berlin House Zenner, and closing sets at Sonar Barcelona and its Lisbon edition. She’s known to play Koko and Berghain’s Panorama Bar, and supported the Chemical Brothers.

For as long as she can remember, Annegret Fiedler has created electronic melodies to soundtrack her daydreams. Drawing on her early love for brooding New Wave and Post-Punk, she became Perel, an electronic producer, vocalist and DJ who spent much of the 2010s shaping her sound – and to just praise. As well as being the first German artist to sign to James Murphy’s seminal dance-punk label DFA Records, Perel has performed internationally as a live act and DJ, from the floors of throbbing techno clubs to major city festivals.

Growing up in the East German state of Saxony, she learned how to write and produce songs, inspired by Aphex Twin, Kraftwerk and The Cure, among others. Later drawn to Berlin and its underground club scene, she took on the persona of Perel, writing, producing and singing on solo material for labels like Running Back, Uncanny Valley, Kompakt and Permanent Vacation. In an ever-evolving club scene with myriad faces, Perel stood out by singing over her DJ sets, bridging the mood of her own live sound with her selections.

Perel’s live performances and DJ shows are a testament to her captivating stage presence and musical versatility. Highlights include performances at Outside Lands in San Francisco, her first hard ticket selling show in Berlin House Zenner, and closing sets at Sonar Barcelona and its Lisbon edition. She has also graced stages at Nation Of Gondwana, Fusion Festival, Koko, and the renowned Panorama Bar / Berghain, as well as support to the Chemical Brothers.

Now with a raft of new music out in 2025 and a recent move to Los Angeles she continues to evolve her timeless Neosynth to enjoy as the sun sets over the horizon and the freaks come out to play.

Free Time presents an early evening DJ set from Mount Kimbie at Sneaky Pete’s.

Potpourri invites their biggest headliners to date to the Sneaky Pete’s sweatbox. Edinburgh’s favourite experimental queer night welcomes G Jones & Eprom + Parkinson White to the booth. Potpourri’s High Beams, our custom club lighting rig and a signature hand-made incense scent will, of course, be there too!

When G Jones and Eprom collide, the result is a masterclass in sound design and raw energy. Touring in support of their latest collaborative work, Disk Utility, the duo fuses jungle, acid, and techno into a high-octane dismantling of the traditional DJ set. From the glitch-laden eruptions of “1000 Cuts” to the club-ready euphoria of “By Your Side,” witness two of bass music’s most forward-thinking minds pushing the dance-floor into uncharted territory.

Erol returns – to the rhythm!

REFRACTA 2026 SNEAKY PETES RESIDENCY
