Guys Dance, Girlz DJ: London’s most electrifying all-female vinyl movement Girlz B Like returns, and The Capitol is ready. London’s underground is calling - and this time, it’s louder, deeper, and more irresistible than ever.
ABOUT THE EVENT
Girlz B Like, the powerhouse all-female, vinyl-only DJ collective founded by Marcia Carr, is back to set Hackney ablaze with its bi-monthly sonic ritual. This is not just a party - it’s a movement, a celebration, and the most talked-about women-led dancefloor experience the city has been craving.
Following a sensational International Women’s Month edition - where NYC’s Mihoko and the unforgettable Meena Rahi ignited a night of pure electricity - the energy hasn’t dipped. The dance-floor stayed packed, the bar flowed, and the vibe? Unhinged and unmatched. Now, as spring blooms, Girlz B Like returns on Saturday 9th May (7PM–2AM) at Grow Hackney for another unmissable session where the only rule is: come early, stay late.
This edition brings together a heavyweight lineup of vinyl purists and cultural torchbearers:
South London legend DJ Dubplate Pearl makes her long-awaited Girlz B Like debut. A guardian of reggae sound system culture with roots stretching back to 1970s blues parties, she steps up with a rare groove-laced set - weaving boogie, disco, and Lover’s Rock into a deeply soulful journey. A familiar voice on NTS Radio and Balamii Radio, a familiar staffer at Lion Vibes, and a cornerstone of Brixton’s vinyl scene, her arrival is nothing short of iconic.
Joining her is the multi-hyphenate force YDLR - DJ, singer-songwriter, and founder of the groundbreaking PXSSY X VINYL initiative. From her CLUB YDLR residency to chart-topping Mixcloud sessions, she is redefining the grassroots club landscape while empowering the next generation of women on wax.
Returning by popular demand, Sweet P brings her signature fusion of soulful house, hip hop, jazz, and broken beat. A veteran of Manchester’s golden-era club 1990's circuit - from The Haçienda to Sankeys - she’s once again ready to command the floor with timeless energy and deep musical knowledge.
At the helm, Marcia Carr herself - revered by global icons like Kerri Chandler and Louie Vega - curates a journey only she can deliver: rich, soulful, and transcendent - a treat you do not want to miss.
For over a decade, Girlz B Like has carved out a vital space in club culture - championing women DJs, preserving vinyl artistry, and building a community that keeps evolving, growing, and dancing.
