The New South London Summer Series ‘Circulate’ Will Be Held Across 3 Venues
South London is set to come alive this summer with the launch of Circulate, an innovative event series brought to life by Phonox. This forward-thinking initiative connects three iconic venues: Phonox in Brixton, M.O.T in South Bermondsey, and Jumbi in Peckham, creating a dynamic day-to-night program. Kicking off on May 16th, 2026, Circulate aims to reimagine the clubbing experience by guiding audiences through diverse soundscapes and atmospheres across these significant locales.
At the heart of Circulate lies Phonox, known for its vibrant nightlife and rich music history. Meanwhile, M.O.T. offers an industrial open-air space perfect for daytime sessions, and Jumbi enhances the experience with its unique social atmosphere and community spirit. The collaboration among these independent venues represents a strategic fusion, emphasizing not just their individual strengths but also the collective identity of South London’s nightlife.
“We’re collectively excited to launch this new event series and format, bringing together three cornerstones of South London’s nightlife for the first time,” explains Sammi Hussien of Phonox. “Over the course of three months, we will host some of our favourite artists from across the world and place them in the heart of the capital city.”
This inaugural season boasts a stellar lineup that includes international heavyweights such as Derrick Carter, DJ Nobu, Egyptian Lover, and Young Marco. Notably, the programming is designed with a continuous curatorial thread rather than standalone events. This means that festival-goers can expect a thoughtfully curated journey featuring a diverse array of talent, including notable names like Leon Vynehall, Soichi Terada, Josey Rebelle, and Optimo (Espacio).
Circulate serves to amplify the cultural significance of South London’s electronic music scene, uniting artists and audiences in a vibrant ecosystem. This unique event series provides fresh opportunities for collaboration and engagement, allowing participants to experience the creative energy flowing through the area. With each venue offering a distinct atmosphere, attendees can seamlessly transition from the intimate club setting at Phonox to the expansive outdoor vibes at M.O.T., and finally to the cozy, lively social environment at Jumbi.
As anticipation builds, the Circulate series promises not only to be a summer highlight but also a significant milestone in South London’s nightlife history. By fostering a shared vision of contemporary club culture, the event series aims to celebrate the rich tapestry of music and community that defines this area.
In addition to the musical offerings, Circulate’s innovative approach invites attendees to explore the intricacies and connections between these venues. Each day will encompass diverse auditory experiences that cater to varying tastes while also challenging industry norms. Whether you’re a die-hard electronic music fan or a curious newcomer, the series seeks to create an inclusive environment that welcomes everyone.
