Hitty

Hitty is playing Quarters on Friday 28 August, a night that puts the DJ and producer centre stage. It's a single-name bill, so the whole set is hers to shape.

If you're not familiar with her sound, it's built on a mix of house rhythms and a strong pull from hip hop and dancehall. Those two styles don't always sit in the same room, but that's where the energy comes from: the house provides the steady, dancefloor-ready pulse, and the hip hop and dancehall bring the weight and the swing. It's a combination that works well in a club setting, and it's what she's built her following on.

She's a producer as well as a DJ, which usually means the set isn't just a run of other people's records. When a producer takes the decks, you often hear their own work woven in, and the way they read the room tends to come from a place of knowing how the tracks are actually put together. That's the kind of night this is—one person behind the decks, with the sound they've been working on as the main draw.

It's a late one, running from 21:00 through to 03:00, so there's plenty of room to settle in. Quarters is at 187-193 Kings Rd, in the Arches, Brighton BN1 1NB. The session kicks off at 21:00 and goes until 03:00.
