Still taking it all in… 💜

Yesterday was everything we hoped it would be and more.

To everyone who came down, played, listened, supported, travelled, shared energy and trusted what we were building.... thank you 🫶🏻

A huge thank you to our guest speakers who donated their time and wisdom - we love you! 🙏🏻
And massive thank you to Crib @ Block Bar. Kitchen and garden. Always amazing, supportive and fantastic at what they do. 💜

Seeing everyone locked in for the talks, the workshop bringing people together, and the decks being played by such incredible talent right through to close… it honestly meant so much.

This was never about just putting on an event - it was about creating a space where people feel safe, supported and able to step into something new. And yesterday, we felt that. Fully 💜

We’ve had so many kind words, messages and offers of support since, and we’re honestly so grateful. This is just the beginning.

Charlene & Lisa 💜

🔊 GUEST SPEAKER ANNOUNCEMENT 🔊

SARAH MONUMENT

Sarah Monument is a UK-based DJ whose rise has been anything but subtle. Beginning her journey in the breakbeat scene as Miss Monument, she quickly evolved—fusing breaks into techno before carving out a distinctive, jacking electro-driven sound that’s taken her across the globe.

That evolution has seen Sarah become a standout presence on the festival circuit, delivering unforgettable sets at major events including Glastonbury Festival, Boomtown Fair, and Mucky Weekender, building a reputation for energy, versatility, and serious groove control.

Now firmly rooted in Brighton, Sarah has cemented her status as a pivotal figure in the local breaks and techno landscape. Known for her adaptable, dancefloor-first selections, she’s also the host of a much-loved monthly radio show on 1BTN, where she fluidly blends breaks, techno, dub, bass, and electro into her unmistakable signature sound.

Over the past year alone, Sarah has supported some true heavyweights—Leftfield, Eat Static, Tall Paul, Paul Oakenfold, Billy Nasty, Slam, and Phil Hartnoll - while continuing to champion and collaborate with local DJs and promoters including Black Octopus, Jack Said What, Uncle Monty’s and now Underground Playground.

Sarah has also worked intensely with the business side of the industry - having set up her company Sonic Efficiency to help artists and labels maximise their income through digital royalties and other revenue streams.

Deck The System launches at [Crib] by Block, 101 St James Street in Brighton on 11th April.
If you wish to come for the open decks, the talks, workshop or just for a mingle, do fill out the form below 👇🏻 to let us know you're coming! We can't wait to welcome you!

With Wildblood and Queenie on the decks, the jump will always be had. With Wildblood and Queenie the disco joy is forever included.

With a residency at Patterns and regular gigs with brands such as He.She.They, Sunday Sundae, Wild Fruit, Le Discoteque, D***s On Decks and Horse Meat Disco, Wildblood and Queenie have mastered their craft and are legends of the Brighton scene.
