After a hiatus expanded by the events of the last two years the return of GBL has us thrilled to set things in motion with our first shindig just days ahead of International Women's Day 2022 at GROW, in Hackney Wick.
SuperSonic resident Nikki Lucas is set to spin an eclectic bag of Funky, Afrobeat, r&b Disco and House.
Adding an extra dose of grooviness Open Decks style, Miss Soxee makes a second guest appearance on the line up - her debut in 2016 caused much of an eruption.
Closing off the night Marcia DaVinylMC no doubt will delivery many vinyl bangers for a fierce finalé in a digital-free zone.
As the Creative Director and founder of this grassroots outfit, GBL has steadily carved out its own groove drawing loyal music discerners of quality Underground sounds: r&b Disco, Detroit techno, Boogie, funk, Gospel dance, Broken Beat, and other electronica rhythms and beats that club dancers also relish and appreciate.
The GBL objective is to highlight female selectors who take control of the music programming inside the DJ booth where guests Josey Rebelle, DJ Paulette, Katie Barber, Shy One, Miss Vaitea, Jaidene Veda, Nikki Lucas and DJ Dubois and more have already graced the decks and performed
