Big Sis DJs x Byrd Out x Deya presents SHERELLE
DEYA & Byrd Out, in conjunction with Big Sis DJs are extremely excited to bringing SHERELLE to DEYA!
SHERELLE is the champion of high speed dance music who has led a new generation of club kids to tempos of 160bpm and beyond. Named one of Mixmags Top 25 Producers Who Defined the Year, nominated for the MOBO Awards Best Electronic Act and winner of DJ Mags Best of British 2025: Breakthrough Producer, SHERELLE entered a new era of artistry with the release of her debut album WITH A VENGEANCE (WAV). She has since continued to build out the WAV universe with WAV RELOADED, a selection of choice cuts reworked with vocals from Kibo, Killa P and Logan. And she hosts The Sweatbox on BBC 6 Music!
Alongside SHERELLE, we have some of our favourite DJs, with Big Sis DJs head honcho Neon Pumps, as well as Amy Omen and Talla Paula, and Emu representing the Ugly Ducklin' crew! This one is going to go off from the off!
Last entry at 10pm. 18+. If you need a carer's ticket, drop stephen at deyabrewing.com a line.

ABOUT DANI WHYLIE
A true multi-genre operator, she moves fluidly between deep, rolling techno, breakbeat-laced grooves, high-voltage electro and percussive hard-hitters, shaping each set to the room in front of her.
Dani Whylie a genre-fluid DJ + selector whose sets are pure high-energy chaos, connection, and curveballs. She’s been tearing through the underground lately from a six-hour InnSession and 3 date residency at The Love Inn to three wild Glasto sets last year: queer chaos on the Scissors stage, full throttle at Babylon Uprising, and opening The Levels main stage and a debut at Love International’s Hotel Miran.
You might’ve caught her at Get On Festival or Come Bye and her Teletech debut at The Cause went off, a full-throttle session that showed exactly why she’s one of the most exciting names coming up right now.
Back home, Dani’s locking in a new residency at Motion and Document, and is a regular in the queer scene of Bristol , pushing sound, stamina, and inclusivity with every set. Known for championing queer, inclusive spaces, Dani’s all about creating dancefloors that feel alive, safe, and unpredictable where connection comes first and nobody can stand still. She’s been making serious noise from Unfold at Fold London to Venue MOT, The Cause, Village Underground (going b2b for Nikki Nair’s all-nighter), and a Pretty Weird takeover at Thekla that had the floor fully locked in.
Cutting her teeth in Bath + Bristol, Dani came up through residencies at Der Liebe, APEX, Flat 7 and Interstellar Disco Orgy, spaces that let her get weird, heavy, euphoric. That freedom built the sound she’s known for now: stamina, precision, and total unpredictability. Off the dancefloor, her Rinse FM residency keeps the same spirit deep, rolling journeys that hit as hard as her live sets. She builds a space where everyone feels welcome and no one can stand still.
Dani doesn’t just play tunes she tells stories, flips rooms inside out, and reminds us what this whole thing’s about: connection, release, and a bit of beautiful chaos. From UNFOLD London to Glastonbury (thanks to her RA “Mix of the Day” that caught SPORTSBANGER’s eye) her power hour Resident Advisor .
Headfirst sums her up as “one of the most eclectic DJs working across house and techno,” moving through “chunky 4x4 to dark and gritty groove

The theme this year for IWD is Give To Gain and we think that couldn’t be any more appropriate for this supersonic collective who are doing so much for women in the industry right now.
Give To Gain emphasizes the power of reciprocity and support. When people, organizations, and communities give generously, opportunities and support for women increase. Giving is not a subtraction, it's intentional multiplication. When women thrive, we all rise.
Whether through donations, knowledge, resources, infrastructure, visibility, advocacy, education, training, mentoring, or time, contributing to women's advancement helps create a more supportive and interconnected world..
Big Sis DJs are a Stroud-based collective known and loved across the South West for their high energy party starting performances spanning multiple dance music eras & genres. They are creating & curating space behind the booth & on the dancefloor for women & non binary folks age 30+ through workshops, courses, club nights & a growing private hire agency
See you on the Dancefloor!
