Some of the best nights happen when venues stop competing and start collaborating. The Phonox Circulate multi-venue series is exactly that kind of idea, pairing Phonox with two of South London’s most trusted rooms, M.O.T and Jumbi, across thirteen consecutive events running from May 16th through August 29th, 2026. It is a proper summer programme, not a one-off, and the booking decisions suggest someone sat down with a very serious record collection before making any calls.
The series alternates between two recurring partnerships. Phonox and M.O.T open on May 16th with Zack Fox, DJ Swisha, Jubilee, Bok Bok, and Fiyahdred, which sets the tone immediately. Phonox and Jumbi follow on May 30th with Laurence Guy, Rahaan, DJ Fett Burger, and Heléna Star. From there, the alternating rhythm continues deep into the summer, and the curator club nights London crowd will find something to argue over in almost every lineup.
June alone covers an extraordinary range. Optimo (Espacio), Papa Nugs, Tia Cousins, and Kiara Scuro play the June 6th M.O.T date. The June 13th Jumbi edition brings Make A Dance, Paula Tape, and Bibi Seck. Leon Vynehall, Powder, Yu Su, and AliA headline June 20th at M.O.T, and Gerd Janson, Krystal Klear, and LOVEFOXY close the month on June 27th at Jumbi.
July keeps the pressure on. Young Marco, S Candelo (THC x DHC), and Jennifer Loveless play July 4th with M.O.T. Jeremy Underground, MiNNA, System Olympia, and Mafalda take Jumbi on July 11th. Soichi Terada, Angel D’lite, Josh Caffé, and Serenda arrive July 18th. July 25th is a Jumbi birthday special featuring Egyptian Lover and FREAKENSTEIN alongside guests still to be announced, which is the kind of date that sells itself before a single name is confirmed.
August rounds things off at pace. Derrick Carter, Shy One, and Jitwam bring the August 8th Jumbi edition. DJ Assault, DJ Paypal, Black Rave Culture, and Ikonika make August 15th at M.O.T a genuinely unpredictable night. The series closes August 29th with DJ Nobu, Binh, Josey Rebelle, and Introspekt, a finale that leans hard into the deeper end of the South London house events world and earns it.
What makes Circulate feel different from a standard seasonal programme is the editorial coherence across venues. M.O.T and Jumbi each have their own character, and the bookings seem to respect that rather than flatten it into a single brand. Phonox is the connective tissue, but it is not imposing a monoculture. You could attend every date across the full thirteen weeks and encounter genuinely different temperatures of music each time. Tickets are available via the Circulate website, and with names at this level spread across five months, the safer move is not to sleep on the early dates.
