After the success of our event a couple of weeks ago The Cloak and Dagger have invited us back for another party! Expect disco, funk, world and everything in between hosted by Arcade's resident DJs: Freddie Gracie and Portimao.
Naming himself after Freddie Mercury and Grace Jones means Freddie Gracie is bringing that old school cool. He backs this up as a DJ, calling on heavy hitters while adding his own flair to leave dancers filled with a smiling soul.
Gracie (Phil Smith) began his journey by playing out at house parties and following influences like Kerri Chandler and Greg Wilson. Since then, Gracie has become a regular face of The Library - LMD’s Parch Disco events and appeared on the Topshelf mix series. In 2022, Gracie played his first 4-hour set at Reignite Festival and made his debut on 1020 Radio. He has since supported Alfresco Disco alongside Arcade resident DJs.
Portimão pays homage to his gran’s house in Cornwall, a place where he and his friends would host parties during their formative years. Now a Bristol-based DJ and Arcade’s head honcho, Sam, is known for his exploration of genres and high-energy sets. While keeping up regular appearances on the house party scene, Sam has built a roster of successful guest mixes that have seen him booked for sets across Bristol and London during 2021/22.
