A vinyl-only night of deep house and techno with Reg, founder of Shrewsbury’s underground collective Natural Selections. No laptops, no shortcuts — just records, grooves, and a proper dancefloor journey. Free entry all night.

With over 30 years behind the decks, Reg is a selector rooted in digging, patience, and reading the room. His all-vinyl sets move through warm, hypnotic house and deeper shades of techno, built to evolve naturally over the course of the night — focused on flow, tension, and atmosphere.

Through Natural Selections, Reg has spent more than a decade shaping Shrewsbury’s underground scene, hosting intimate parties and bringing forward-thinking electronic music to local dancefloors. Beyond the town, his journey has seen him play at respected underground institutions including Freerotation, House of God, Ymuno, and Love Drop.

Expect a night done properly — built record by record, from the first needle drop to the last.

Dead Centre returns for 2026 with an all-night-long set from its founder, Innerkey. One DJ. One room. Full control from open to close. Free entry all night.

A familiar presence in the local underground, Innerkey has quietly built a reputation as a producer and selector with a wide but carefully considered reach. For this Valentine’s special, he takes the room on a five-hour journey - moving through deep, dubby, and slightly off-kilter electronic sounds, swung rhythms, rare grooves, and lesser-heard cuts pulled from across the spectrum.

The focus is on flow rather than flash. Records are chosen for their feeling and function, progressing patiently from warm, low-slung textures into more playful, rhythmic territory as the night unfolds. With the past six months spent largely in the studio, the set will also feature first-time plays, offering an early glimpse into where things are heading next.

This night marks the start of a new chapter for Dead Centre - a monthly series rooted in the local scene and the wider dance music ecosystem, with an emphasis on longevity, community, and sound over hype.

All night long. No shortcuts. Just music that moves.

A laid-back Friday night session with DDope, co-founder of Love Drop. Expect a warm, feel-good blend moving through disco, funk, chuggy house, and time-tested classics — records picked for mood, movement, and flow rather than peak-time pressure. Free entry all night.

An easy start to the weekend. Good records. Good energy.

A Saturday night of back-to-back DJ sets with Elliott Stallion, joined by Joe McCran and Fred Ackyroyd at Blind Tiger. Free entry all night.

A familiar presence in the local underground, Elliott has appeared at respected festivals and spaces including Gottwood, Shambala Festival, Beatherder, and Boomtown Fair, building connections between the local scene and wider underground communities.

Expect warm, engaging sounds across the four-to-the-floor spectrum, rare cuts, and white-label vinyl selections — records you’re unlikely to hear again, and almost certainly won’t find online. No posturing, just proper DJing and shared energy.

A Friday night DJ session with Cat Ellis, Dead Centre–affiliated resident and one of the scene’s quietly emerging selectors. Free entry all night.

Cat’s relationship with dance music was shaped on the dancefloor long before stepping behind the decks. Now based in rural Wales, she’s spent years deeply immersed in underground culture, developing a sound guided by knowledge, care, and long-term commitment. Her journey stretches from House of God to intimate, non-commercial Ibiza villa parties and beyond.

Her selections move fluidly through disco, soul, house, techno, and funk - favouring warm grooves, subtle shifts in energy, and a playful touch that keeps the room engaged. Bright, bubbly, and quietly uplifting, without ever losing its underground grounding.

This marks the start of Cat’s monthly residency - every third Friday of the month - representing the wider Dead Centre ecosystem with feel-good, endorphin-boosting sounds and plenty more to come.

Dead Centre returns with residents Innerkey and Drewy at the controls. Familiar pressure resumes — playful, no-rules selections moving freely across house, techno, broken beat, and wider electronic territory. Free entry all night.

The emphasis remains firmly on the local dancefloor: shared energy, open minds, and a community that continues to show up and care. Nothing here is fixed. Each month shifts subtly, responding to the room, the moment, and the collective mood.

While the DJs meet in the middle, the heart of Dead Centre has always been the people — wall to wall — who shape the party into what it becomes. As the series evolves through the year, expect a small number of carefully chosen underground guests to pass through, quietly surprising a sleepy town in the heart of Shropshire.

That said, the soul of Dead Centre remains rooted in the local scene: investing in community, creating space, opening doors, and giving back wherever possible.

If you align with the ethos, we want to hear from you.
Mixes, introductions, and conversations are always welcome.
