Sideshow

Emerging from underground electronic scenes, Sideshow has spent over a decade cultivating a distinct sonic identity fusing house, techno, and genre-bending experimentalism. Growing up in Manchester, Sideshow’s early influences came from pirate radio, gritty warehouse parties, and the city’s storied club culture. After relocating to Berlin in 2015, Sideshow quickly gained recognition for dynamic, high-energy sets at iconic venues such as Tresor, Watergate, and Sisyphos, and festival appearances across Europe.

Sideshow’s productions reflect a love for deep grooves, hypnotic textures, and inventive sampling, with releases on respected labels including Lofi Movement, Subversion, and their own imprint, Shadow Circuit. Known for a commitment to vinyl and adventurous track selection, Sideshow’s DJ sets create immersive journeys that blur the lines between the familiar and the unknown. Beyond the booth, Sideshow curates the monthly “Afterglow Radio” show, spotlighting emerging underground talent from around the world, and is a vocal advocate for safer spaces and inclusivity within club culture.

With an ever-expanding global following, Sideshow continues to push creative boundaries while staying deeply connected to the grassroots energy that first sparked their love for dance music.
