IMPORTANT NEWS! Due to unforeseen delays in venue refurbishment out of our control, April’s Whirl-y-Gig Global Disco has been moved to the Friday night April 11th. We will be in the larger space No90 Live as the Hideout will not be able to support our production. We are so sorry if this should cause you any inconvenience but we hope you will all still be able to attend! Should anyone require a full refund please contact us by e mail [email protected]
Whirl-y-Gig will be returning to No90 LIVE (formerly Studio 9294) in Hackney Wick for DJ Monkey Pilot’s Global Disco. This is the original and classic Whirl-y-Gig format where everyone is a star, everyone equal and free. Whether you are on stage or on the dancefloor, together we create our Whirl-y-World!
WHIRL-Y-GIG embodies the spirit of community in a carnival atmosphere. Bathed in rainbow rippling lights and wrapped in exotic decor, it is a festival of delights for people of all ages and places.
Dance to the Whirl-y-Beat and journey through Whirl-y-Gig’s unique electronic landscape, where many diverse elements blend into one cohesive and unifying experience. From deep dubstep and hot drum n bass to tropical house, trippy techno and tribal trance, the Whirl-y-Mix embraces flavours of celtic or global, classical or psychedelic, pop or rock, roots and radical. Whether it be African or European, Arabic or Asian, British or American, Whirl-y-Gig finds inspiration from around the world, yet is firmly rooted in the here and now of London’s alternative club scene.
WHIRL-Y-GIG is an event difficult to describe and a moment difficult to miss. With a strong and loving life force, the Whirl-y-Sound is a musical heartbeat for a future global family.

“Whirl-y-Gig has been in existence since the 1980s and for very good reason, for a fun filled, amazing night with great music and people it is without doubt the place to go in London.” (Rock Industry June 2016)
“The intense atmosphere, the diverse clientele, that constant intimacy and openness - this is the way that Whirl-y-Gig has been since it s inception in the 1980s.” (Vice January 2016).
