About JOSEPHINE GYASI
JOSEPHINE GYASI (Pronounced Jah-See), (she/her)

Josephine Gyasi's sets are a testament to her rhythmic skill and deep appreciation for music and nightlife culture, drawing inspiration from her immersive experiences and years in clubs both on-stage and off-stage as a raver, former Club Djembe troop, and now DJ.

Known for their infectious energy and undeniable stage presence, her performances reflect her love for the soft melodies of Amapiano, soulful rhythms of Afro-House, and percussive-driven Funky. Yet, it's her fearless exploration of Global Club Music fused with high-energy styles like Gqom and Ghettotech that truly sets her apart as she brings something unique each and every time.

LEXX (they/them)
LEXX whips the finest cross-genre music into sets that sweat and reset. Their dance floor is a sxy somatics-infused space where gender gets bent and all beings are held in love. A space where you can dance freely to meet your struggle and release it all. This is for those of you who know there's more to life.
Expect: house of all flavours, afrobeat and amapiano, reggaeton and latinx tracks, drum n bass, and much more.
LEXX is the creator + DJ of regular-sell-out event Soft Butch Bristol, a night celebrating all butchness, for women, NB and Trans people to dance freely together.
