Sidney Charles

Sidney Charles has mastered the art of high impact house music that comes with a signature sense of depth, melody and groove. That unique style has made the Hamburg-born DJ, producer and label boss one of the underground's most prominent names: last year was his busiest ever with multiple chart-topping releases, high profile support from Radio 1 and standout gigs across the world. In 2024, the proven tastemaker will focus on his already influential Heavy House Society label with a series of HHS events taking place in locations worldwide. The last year has seen Sidney make an indelible mark on the scene. He played in Ibiza at the likes of Amnesia, DC10 and Cova Santa. He played to large crowds across several South American countries and all over the US from Miami to Las Vegas to New York and LA. He played in key Spanish cities at Input, Fabrik Madrid, Weekend Beach Festival, frequently visited Italy, played in the Netherlands multiple times a month and cemented his close relationship at UK hotbeds like Manchester's Warehouse Project and Leeds' Mint Warehouse. Whether playing to a close and compact crowd in a small basement or tearing up a vast festival main stage, Sidney knows how to join the dots between the past and the present. He manages to open up new house worlds with his educated selections but never forgets to blow up the dance floor in the process. Just like his productions, his DJ sets are full of surprises, twists and turns but also rooted in physical grooves. His love of jazz, hip hop and funk and his vast knowledge of the 90s sounds always shine through with plenty of heavy bass which makes the Sidney Sound so irresistible. Years after his first breakout hit, Sidney continues to reach the top of the charts with his newest creations. In 2023 there were two separate hits on different labels in Beatport's genre charts. Namely ‘Keep Rocking’ on Heavy House Society, and one of the biggest underground records of the year ‘House 2 Heal’ on Moxy Muzik, while he also released on the likes of Cécille, MicroHertz & PIV. Sidney's Heavy House Society is already a respected go-to outlet for solid and innovative house music. It mixes up releases from top-tier artists and well curated new school talents such as Kolter (aka Djoko), Ozzie Guven, Luuk Van Dijk, Locklead, Madvilla, M-High and many more. Sidney will be heading up the global Heavy House Society events with guest DJ’s curated from the label roster. He has solo releases in the works for the label as well as Solid Grooves, You&Me; and has a collaboration EP dropping with Kolter. All this is proof that Sidney Charles is at the top of his game.
