Whirl-y-Gig will be at No 90 Live (formerly Studio 9294) in Hackney Wick for DJ Monkey Pilot’s Global Disco. This is the original and classic Whirl-y-Gig format where

everyone is a star, everyone equal and free. Whether you are on stage or on the dancefloor, together we create our Whirl-y-World!

WHIRL-Y-GIG embodies the spirit of community in a carnival atmosphere. Bathed in rainbow rippling lights and wrapped in exotic decor, it is a festival of delights for people of all ages and places.
Dance to the Whirl-y-Beat and journey through Whirl-y-Gig’s unique electronic landscape, where many diverse elements blend into one cohesive and unifying experience. From deep dubstep and hot drum n bass to tropical house, trippy techno and tribal trance, the Whirl-y-Mix embraces flavours of celtic or global, classical or psychedelic, pop or rock, roots and radical. Whether it be African or European, Arabic or Asian, British or American, Whirl-y-Gig finds inspiration from around the world, yet is firmly rooted in the here and now of London’s alternative club scene.

WHIRL-Y-GIG is an event difficult to describe and a moment difficult to miss. With a strong and loving life force, the Whirl-y-Sound is a musical heartbeat for a future global family.

“
You’ve heard of the huge ever growing, pulsating brain that rules from the centre of the underworld? Well, that was Whirl-y-Gig … it embodied all the values you could hope for in a long-standing London clubland underground institution, with charm and integrity.” (Kate Magic 2024)

“Whirl-y-Gig has been in existence since the 1980s and for very good reason, for a fun filled, amazing night with great music and people it is without doubt the place to go in London.” (Rock Industry June 2016)

“The intense atmosphere, the diverse clientele, that constant intimacy and openness – this is the way that Whirl-y-Gig has been since it
s inception in the 1980s.” (Vice January 2016)
