12" of Pleasure
Strap in for 12” of Pleasure's second lap at Bottled Up. Taking last year's masterclass in sonic shagging and ripping up the rulebook, this session promises strictly triple X-rated debauchery. Expect the unexpected - from cheeky beats to your granny's favourite wobblers. Don't forget your protection.

4TheGoodOfTheGroove4TheGoodOfTheGroove
Operating strictly 4thegoodofthegroove, this set is a public service announcement for anyone in need of a dance. Expect filthy ratchet, grimey reloads, wheel-ups at the worst (or best) possible moments, and the sort of tunes that have strangers hugging by the second chorus.
There are no genres, only grooves. Bring those dancing shoes, stretch your reload finger, and prepare to lose whatever dignity you arrived with.
As one of the co-founders of Bottled Up, he's spent long enough worrying about everything happening around the festival. For one set, he's leaving that to everyone else and focusing on what matters: making the dancefloor bounce.

Ape Human Thing

I started DJing back in 2017, taught in my friend's brother's bedroom, along with my friend, who you'll see on the lineup, Nigel Garage. His brother played DnB, so took some learnings there, but my style is more eclectic, planning some bluesy and funky daytime tunes to get people going.
You'll catch me playing a mix of vinyl and tunes from my memory stick, taking you through from Saturday morning, past the opening time of the bar, and in mid-afternoon when the live music will takeover. We'll wash those hangovers away, soothe you all in, then get the party going. Despite lots of great music, the part I'm most looking forward to is the food. Can't bloody wait!
Tom is a part of the Bottled Up team. Coming from the Bottlefest side, he leads all things admin for the festival, but would much rather be standing behind the decks or the bar. Months of work for days of fun, but it's all worth it when we get there.

Harrison Affair
It has been said many times and in many ways that what the world needs now is another white rock band. London's Harrison Affair could very well be the one of which the pundits spoke.
The Affair's sax-weaved, melodic, indie dingers have spawned a new genre, 'rodent rock'. It's springboarded them to sell-out shows across the imperial capital. Sure to cast a long shadow upon the contemporary guitar wasteland, come see the five-piece in action at BottledUp Fest before they're beyond reach.

Hollo
Usually an assassin of nans with heavy rollers, Hollo always reigns in it for Bottled Up with something slightly more melodic, so those in Suffolk over 70 survive the weekend. What a gentleman!
He brings what the people need. Dance music that makes you dance. From groovy house to jungle and drum and bass, you won't be left standing still when he's behind the decks.
His productions skills are no joke either, and have seen him land several times in dance music charts across the years. You don't wanna miss this highly accredited performer!

Shail
Started DJing in Bristol on a pirated version of Traktor using a laptop keyboard as we didn't have decks. Went to Berlin and started DJing at flat parties and friends' bdays, continued that into Bristol before returning after lockdown.
While clubs were still shit in early 2021, some friends and I would rent multiple pirate studios to throw little parties for our friends. That soon developed into a club night called Dancing for Money which I co-founded, was resident DJ and promotor.
Starting at smaller venues such as The Glove That Fits, Waiting Room and Aaja, we soon started throwing events at Colour Factory, Venue MOT and Carpet Shop, culminating in an opening set at Fabric.
While I've stepped away from running club nights, I still enjoy DJing here and there. Had an amazing time going b2b with Charl last year so I'm excited to perform once again for Bottled Up in 2026.
Musical taste has evolved from dubstep, garage, 2step, dnb to techno and house in Berlin, and now into break, electro, left field and more.

Skelter
A digger with an instinct for timeless grooves, Skelter blends acid house, dubby tech house and electro into deep, infectious sets that effortlessly bridge the sounds of the '90s, 00s and today. After earning early long-time residencies at The Mango Club and Nghtwrk — closing nights after the likes of Peach, Evan Baggs, Willow and The Ghost — he's continued to carve out his own path as a producer, with releases dating back to 2018, including a 12” on Desyn Masiello's respected Faciendo imprint. Equal parts selector and storyteller, expect music that locks you in from the first record to the last.
