Late but landing with gratitude.

Our last event is one we won’t forget, right at home in The DBA.

Big love to all the DJs who carried the night exactly how it needed to be.

It was great to see so many familiar faces, and plenty of new ones too. The music, the energy, everything locked in.

Hard to call it a day, but that’s how it goes. We’ll catch you all again somewhere on the many dance floors Manchester has to offer.

In true Kwassa fashion, there’s barely any footage. The phones stayed away, we were too caught up in it.

Peace and love, Kwassa x

We’ve brought in long-time affiliate @calwilson1 alongside Kwassa resident @april__bm for one final run. No strangers to the party, both have been part of the journey across the years. From warm-up duties to peak-time slots, linking up with a range of different b2b pairings along the way.

Two seriously versatile DJs in their own right, with a deep understanding of all things dancefloor-orientated and beyond.

There’s no one better to set the tone — expect that slow-burn, sleazy warm-up done right on the 25th.

A few limited £5 tickets remain…

The Last Dance.

We’ve had some amazing times, but life evolves, circumstances change, and priorities take precedence.

From hosting some of our absolute heroes to platforming artists and friends climbing the ladder. It’s been a right journey.

We’ve met some incredible people along the way and will always cherish the memories made on the Kwassa dancefloor.

We’ve made the decision to park things for a couple of years. For now, this is goodbye….but who knows what the future holds.

~ Event Update ~

**Time change: 22:00 – 05:00am**

We’ve also asked long-time affiliates @april__bm and @calwilson1 to join us and do what they do best — certified gear merchants.

Join us on the 25th April for one last hoorah.

Love,
Kwassa ❤️‍🩹 by @kwassa_files

Fresh from South America, fabric resident @djannawall sets the tone as a meticulous builder with a deeply versatile sound, as reflected through her Rinse FM show. Years in the booth and as a punter show in her ability to capture the room and guide it into that locked-in dancefloor hysteria.

Having played across a variety of programmed line-ups, festivals and club nights, her collection reveals many sides and the depth and nuance in her selections.

Now which side will land face up at The DBA??

@spielraum_amsterdam resident @afra_dj__ is a vinyl-driven selector operating where electro, techno and acid collide. Drawing from the Detroit, Berlin and Rotterdam underground, she brings raw, dance floor focused energy.

With appearances at Dekmantel, Berghain, London’s Adonis and Stone Festival lined up this summer, her energy feels right at home in the DBA. 25th April.

A true underground architect from Rotterdam, @sergeclone has been shaping dancefloors since the early ’90s and remains one of the Netherlands’ most respected DJs.

As the founder of Clone Records, a globally influential label, record store and distribution network that helped connect the sounds of Detroit and Chicago with Europe’s underground.

Deeply rooted in the ethos of early electro, Serge is known for championing forward-thinking machine music while staying true to the spirit of the genre’s origins. Through Clone and decades behind the decks, he’s introduced countless artists and timeless records to dancefloors worldwide.

Its a privilege to welcome him to our beloved boozer to play b2b with @afra_dj__ .

From belt-drive Stantons to Deep Medi boat parties. We caught up with @ema_jg_ ahead of her all-nighter this Friday at Soup to talk early influences, Woozy label and the current Dublin scene.

She’s reaching for all corners of her collection, ready to go deep if you’re willing to follow.
