Short & Sweet

Short & Sweet Short & Sweet is a collaboration between the You Know It Makes Sense (Est 2016) co-founders and DJs Pukka 1UP & Sweet P. Party with us. Like. Connect. Love Rules.

Stay TUNEd... Short plays mainly old skool House on vinyl and Sweet tends towards deep House but our sets have varied from chill out (including sci-fi soundtracks, to the more traditional Balearic beats) to Synthwave, 80’s and Sweet P holds a veritable vinyl Reggae collection. We like humour and we don’t take ourselves too seriously. For us, it’s about the vibe created by everyone together. We hav

e a habit of dressing up in the theme of the party even if it makes DJ’ing awkward and would love it if you joined us and did the same…call it immersive escapism…

Over time we have brought together a really lovely mixed fun crowd which we are a part of and which continues to grow. We are keen to help other female artists and those from the LGBTQI+ community. If you have an idea that you have not yet had the opportunity to pursue and we can help you, drop us a line and we will happily give you a slot at one of our parties. We also feel very strongly that our nights should raise awareness and potential funds for those who need it most. This is why all of our events include a charitable element. Short also makes advertising videos (of the non-standard variety…), flyers and posters. Check our trailers and teasers playlist on our YouTube channel:

If you are a non-profit organisation she will happily consider making one for you for free. Paid work may also be considered ;-). We have all of our own equipment for gigs and can reach over 3200W of clear deep sound (we like our tech). Having our own equipment keeps our costs down, as we don’t have to source equipment from elsewhere and we are able to set up pretty much anywhere you need us. Message us for info. Unity in Diversity.

DJ ANNOUNCEMENT 🎧🎶

We’re excited to welcome to the Dance Tent at Cambridge Pride 2026!

Along with working with on the amazingly diverse Dj line up in the Dance Tent each year, Short & Sweet have played across the UK and beyond, frequently found at parties combining art, music and theatre. From a towering crow’s nest on Midsummer Common, to an art gallery in the South of France, and the beautiful ruins of Glastonbury Abbey - they’ve dropped beats in some unforgettable places!

The duo are a staple on the Rebel Love stage at Strawberry Fair, in the Dance Tent at Cambridge Pride, at the legendary More Tea Vicar parties and at Jamie Ashman’s fabulous art happenings.

Known for mixing banging house beats, often with the odd obscure sample thrown in, they are frequently found spinning vinyl as well as digital, each set curated with obsession.

Expect humour, big energy and plenty of personality — think dramatic headwear, astonishing glasses, maracas and more!

In the lead up to next weekend, I am posting this spectacular picture of Sweet playing in the Crows Nest at the stage at the fair in 2018. If I can manage it, I’ll also be releasing our 1hr long set from the last fair…which has some very cool samples in it…much digging was involved, many of you will understand when you hear it…lots of nods to the the old skool…😉 xx
