Picking up where they left off in 2025, 2026 sees Equal Parts hit the ground running with a huge mid-February knees up showcasing DJ sets from London mainstay Secretsundaze and rising star Dem.
ABOUT THE EVENT
Conceived in a warehouse just a stone’s throw from Main Yard, Equal Parts have been throwing parties exclusively at Grow four times a year without fail since 2018. Forged in the twilight of Hackney Wick’s warehouse heyday, Equal Parts set out with the humble intention of curating friendly, dance-focused parties that guarantee maximum aural and kinetic pleasure at Hackney Wick’s best-loved DIY venue. Staying true to these roots, seven years on, Equal Parts is now a bona fide Friday-night Grow stalwart, with their resident DJs lining up at recent parties alongside a roster of heavy weight and rising talent, from Wes Baggaley to Tia Cousins, Parris, Maybe Laura, B.Love, and John Gómez. For 2026, Equal Parts ensure top-tier selectors grace Hackney Wick’s best-loved dancefloor yet again, with two further dates lined up for Solero season and a friends and family Halloween spectacular slated for October. Expect boat party energy into the early hours with sounds spanning House, Disco, Techno, and everything in-between.
LINE UP:
Topping the bill with a three hour set is Secretsundaze (James Priestley). Secretsundaze originally cut his teeth as a d’n’b DJ and a promoter of not-so-legal warehouse parties before becoming an annual resident at the legendary Robert Johnson and landing gigs at Panorama Bar and Queen at Smart Bar, which is the kind of gigography that many selectors would happily settle for. But Priestley’s love of underground club culture has propelled him even further and Secretsundaze is now two decades deep, a pillar of London culture that has poured blood, sweat and tears into the city’s music community. In recent years Secretsundaze has also notched up a stellar production record, and is known for bringing a fresh take on house music that draws from breakbeat energy and trancey euphoria with releases on renowned imprints Peach Discs, Warning, and Echocentric Records among others. Lock in for three hours of gorgeous house music reflecting two decades at the cutting edge of house music culture. Expect vintage and unreleased gems alike, from the deep to the percussive.
Supporting Secretsundaze on the night is Dem, a DJ, a community ambassador (cofounding member of common ground, a collective focusing in promoting equal representation of FLINTA within the music industry) and music educator. She has played across both UK and European festivals, and graced dancefloors in London, including NT's loft, Club Cheek, Drumsheds, and The Cause. Throughout her ten-year span as a DJ, she has held residencies on Netil Radio, Voices and Do!! You!!! Radio. Dem weaves downtempo, house and pop, and craves to create a space for dance and community. After stellar sets at Equal Parts over the years, we can't wait to welcome back Dem into the Equal Parts fold.
Equal Parts resident fairground kicks things off on the night with a vinyl-only set from early doors. Expect a warming sonic journey weaving house, disco, and downtempo sounds from this Equal Parts mainstay.
