THE QUEER EDGE JOURNEY STARTED AT TWO MORE YEARS, ON FISH ISLAND, HACKNEY WICK. BOASTING 3 FLOORS, 11 STUDIOS, A CANAL SIDE PONTOON AND A LARGE BAR & RESTAURANT. THE WAREHOUSES OF BERLIN & EAST LONDON WERE A SOURCE OF VISUAL INSPIRATION WHILST SELECTING THIS VENUE, MEETING OUR AESTHETIC VISIONS PERFECTLY, WITH SO MUCH CHARACTER.
WE HAVE TAKEN OVER THE ENTIRE 2ND FLOOR TO OFFER CREATIVE COWORKING SPACES DURING THE DAY, WHILST TAKING OVER THE GROUND FLOOR ON THE FIRST FRIDAY OF EVERY MONTH TO THROW OUR QUEER PARTIES.
WHATSMORE, THE CANAL SIDE AREA IS A PRIME SPOT, AND BOTH THE COWORKING AND PARTY SPACES INVITE ENERGY FROM PEOPLE BEING AROUND, AND ENGAGING WITH, OUR LOCAL QUEER COMMUNITY.

Bekefi is one of the most interesting upcoming djs/producers on the London scene, each set she plays brings a unique flavour and an element of surprise. She is one of the few djs that mixes vinyl live during her sets, this elevates the experience of her style of music that has been influenced by many countries and cultures.

WE HAVE LISTENED TO THE ENDLESS FEEDBACK "CAN WE STAY OPEN LATER". WE'D LIKE TO RETAIN THE ATMOSPHERE CREATED FOR THE MANY THAT WANT TO GO HOME AT MIDNIGHT, SO QUEER EDGE REMAINS AT TWO MORE YEARS FOR THE REGULAR PARTIES, BUT ONCE A QUARTER, QUEER EDGE LATE IS GOING TO HAPPEN AT NO.90 BAR, NEAR HACKNEY WICK STATION, OPEN UNTIL 4AM.
WE HAVE SELECTED ANOTHER CONVERTED RIVER-SIDE WAREHOUSE, TO MAINTAIN THE VISION AND AMBIENCE OF ALL OF OUR QUEER EDGE PARTIES. INSIDE IS KITTED OUT WITH A HAND-CRAFTED WOODEN DECOR WITH OUR INFAMOUS LARGE DISCO BALL, WHILST THERE IS A BEAUTIFUL TERRACE ON THE CANAL OUTSIDE.
