Title: 20 Highlights From The Concourse
Date: September 2021 - Present
Equipment: Chamsys MQ500 + quite a few lights

“The Warehouse Project was the first big club event I attended as a teenager. As a lover of music the high octane dance floor, top tier level of production and being drawn in by the incredible lineups, I was instantly hooked. It was once a dream to be a part of a venue like The Warehouse Project.

I have made it my job to deliver that same magic I first witnessed on the WHP dance floor, now with my own inventive spin.

I used to fangirl the lighting engineers when I went to gigs at Store Street, several years before I was involved in the industry. I learned the lighting software Chamsys on my laptop as a student thanks to a Warehouse Project Engineer saying “just learn Chamsys” and see what happens. I have seen the venue grow and adapt over the years from my first shows as a VJ at Store Street in the bunkers beneath Piccadilly train station, to the current home at Mayfield Depot. 2021 was the first year I was operated lights for WHP tucked away at the back in Archive. The following year I was trusted with Concourse for the whole season. 2026 will be my 5th year in Concourse making magic with that iconic mirrorball.

Within the walls of The Warehouse Project, my role is simple; I bring the music to life. Everything you see, I perform live in the moment, as it happens. I translate sound into light, shaping the musical journey into pure visual energy. The magic I strive to create mirrors the explosive, tender, and dynamic places the music takes you. I paint what I feel. I build atmosphere. I chase that electric connection between sound, space, and crowd. All I want to do is spread joy & make people smile. Thanks for dancing with me.”
