MAKIN’ MOVES W ABEL // DEEP SOULFUL HOUSE

"The Makin’ Moves boys are back for their final event of 2023, joining them will be Abel celebrating his recent “Cosmic Law” album release on Atjazz Records’ Co. for a night of Deep Soulful House.

Matt & Jamesey have probably had their busiest year since the pandemic, culminating with their feature in the summer edition of Faith Magazine and this month celebrating their 200th label release. If you haven’t been to one of their events think, smiling people, quality soulful music with dancers getting down.. Everyone is welcome in our house!

The boys will be joined on the night by Abel aka Steve Butler who will be making the trip down from the north east. From catching the house bug in the late 80s as a devout collector, his DJ career went from strength to strength. It saw him perform across some of the UK’s most prestigious nights including the Southport Weekender, not to mention internationally.
