WHIRL-Y-GIG Spring Celebration Friday 13th March 2026 @ No 90 LIVE
We will be returning to the newly refurbished No90 Lock (formerly Studio 9294/No90 Live) in Hackney Wick for Whirl-y-Gig’s Spring Celebration. For this special occasion, DJ MONKEY PILOT will be joined by SPACEHOPPER. Performing live dance music at festivals and raves, Spacehopper create dub infused, acid-tinged techno and trance lifting every party vibe to new levels of euphoria.
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,
Finds inspiration from around the world, yet is firmly rooted in the here and now of London’s alternative club scene.
It 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.
