Get ready to dance Charlie Boon grew up above his dad’s nightclub in St Ives, Cornwall — a grounding that shaped his instinctive connection to club culture from an early age. Now London-based, he’s spent the past few years building momentum through high-energy DJ sets and consistently backed releases, earning strong support from BBC Radio 1 and key tastemakers along the way. Stepping into 2026, Charlie is unveiling a refined new sound that reflects his most confident creative phase to date. Following a standout 2025 — marked by a huge club record, a return to Gorgon City’s REALM, and collaborations with ODF and Club Caviar — his profile continues to rise. Over the last two years, a rapidly growing fanbase has seen him draw huge crowds at Reading and Boardmasters Festival. January 2026 sees the release of a major new single, already supported by Jamie Jones, Rossi and Josh Baker, alongside landmark shows planned for early 2026, including his Fabric debut — cementing Charlie Boon as one of the UK’s most exciting names moving forward
