Forged on a remote mountaintop in the Scottish Highlands, GrownUps fuses together C86 indie credentials and DJ know-how into one harmonious musical experience to create a perfect night out for grown ups with cool vibes, great atmosphere and a friendly crowd. DJs Kinghorror and The Spotlight Kid bring along their little black books, select music taste and stackloads of vinyl to create an amazing ma
sh up of top tunes from the last six decades. Expect a smörgåsbord of hip hop, indie, soul, R'n'B, disco, garage, ska, new wave, electro, alt classics and everything in between. GrownUps has appeared on BBC Scotland's The Culture Studio with Janice Forsyth, featured in the GUARDIAN GUIDE as club pick of the week and enjoyed exclusive guest DJ sets from comedy duo & radio and TV presenters Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins (The Great British Bake Off), Camera Obscura's Gavin Dunbar and The Bluebells' Ken McCluskey as part of the Edinburgh Festival as well as appearing at The Scottish Parliament's Festival of Politics. "A night of all-vinyl, floor-filling rock’n’roll, hip-hop, soul and indie sounds for older clubbers who refuse to lose their edge. Even if it does finish at a respectable 1am," - TimeOut
"Kick up your heels at GrownUps, a raucous, retro dance party that spans funk, soul, and disco hits on vintage vinyl..." - NY Magazine
