2026 marks 10 years of London-based club night Deptford Northern Soul Club. Childhood friends Will Foot and Lewis Henderson, whose early love of soul developed after discovering Lewis’Dad’s record collection, started DNSC a decade ago at Deptford’s Bunker Club in South East London. Since then, they have taken the hugely popular club-night all over the UK, performing at festivals such as Glastonbury, Green Man and End of the Road, and in iconic public arts institutions like Tate Modern, Southbank Centre and Manchester International Festival.

Thirty-two years old but with old heads on their sharply dressed young shoulders, they have emerged as the new face of Northern Soul, bringing the movement back into the conversation of modern dance music.

Over the past 6 years, DNSC has held residencies at London’s infamous Moth Club and at The Pink Room at YES in Manchester. They have also built up followings outside of London and Manchester, taking their party to some of the UK’s most well-known clubs and venues, such as, Sneaky Pete’s (Edinburgh), Concord 2 (Brighton), The Menagerie (Belfast), Belgrave Music Hall (Leeds), Zerox (Newcastle), Hare & Hounds (Birmingham), Lost Horizon (Bristol) and Faith in Strangers (Margate), to name a few.
