BOOGIE CAFE ft ROO + SARAH SWEENEY

Roo is a selector dedicated to unearthing and sharing roots-driven dance music. With a particular love for house, broken beat and boogie, you would be pushed to find a mix which is not inspired by her admiration of soulful and deep flavours. Roo’s collection of obscure 90’s and 00’s tracks has captivated audiences across the UK and beyond. She holds a residency on SWU and has played at the likes of We Out Here Festival, Bel Air Festival and Corsica Studios. She’s played Bradley Zero's Rhythm Section parties and has supported Eliza Rose, Chaos in the CBD, Giles Smith, Shy One and Amy Dabbs to name a few. In 2019, Roo met Manchester based Mystique which led to the creation of Shifting Spheres, a collective which platforms women, non binary and trans artists by providing free DJ workshops and production programme.

Sarah brings a fusion of generations and genres, seamlessly intertwining house, disco, acid, afro, and carnival beats into a sweaty joyous dancefloor journey from beginning to end. A stalwart of UK Dance, Sarah Sweeney’s eclectic musical roots trace back to the vibrant scenes of Liverpool and London during the late nineties / early noughties, with over 25 years honing her craft. She has played alongside luminaries such as Larry Heard, Floating Points, Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy, Kenny Dope, Gilles Peterson, and Bradley Zero, holding it down at benchmark club spaces and festivals across the UK and beyond—including Fabric, Corsica Studios, Wilderness, We Out Here, Worldwide Festival (Sète), BBE Store, and Night Tales, alongside Welsh staples like Big Love and Paradise Garden. Sarah is co-founder of the legendary Eves’Drop Collective, a collective of women DJs, producers, and vocal artists that serve to remind us it is energy, not age, that counts—advocating for women of all ages, stages, and backgrounds to be included in diverse line-ups. Currently living in Wales, Sarah holds a residency at Cardiff's Paradise Garden.
