Our events

Where we've played

Since we built our system with LIGWA, it has played some of the biggest dates in the calendar. This is what those days looked like.

August 2026 · Notting Hill Carnival

Back, and bigger

We returned to Notting Hill Carnival in 2026 with an upgraded system, built up from the year before. From the drum circle in the afternoon to a packed floor under the flyover, the rig carried every set, and its clarity and power blew away both the crowd and the organisers.

30 August 2025 · Northern Roll, Leeds

Rolling with the world

Northern Roll is a three-day roller skating festival in Leeds that draws skaters from across the UK and overseas. We supplied the sound for the adult roller disco on the Saturday night at New Dock Hall, by the Royal Armouries: a full floor under the starlight canopy, rolling until late. The festival was featured on BBC Look North.

August 2025 · Notting Hill Carnival

Carnival under the flyover

Notting Hill Carnival is the biggest street festival in Europe, and for two days in 2025 our rig held down a stage under the flyover: a packed floor from the afternoon sun into the evening, flags in the air and selectors on the decks all day.

23 August 2025 · Colesdale Farm, Hertfordshire

Brunch and Soca London

Six hours of soca in a field just outside London, from three in the afternoon until nine at night. Our stacks stood either side of the stage from the first set in daylight to the last tune under the lights.

  • Performers on the Brunch and Soca stage at night, crowd with hands in the air

Built with LIGWA

Our system was built with LIGWA, the London sound system builder founded by Alf Garnett, known on the circuit as Mr Fixit. Alf has spent more than thirty years building sound systems by hand in Britain, and he chose to back a new name on the scene.

Every D-Audio cabinet carries the LIGWA bass clef on its side panels, and every date above started with his support, his connections and his help.
