This summer, Hidden Beach Festival proudly welcomes Music From The Basement—with the incomparable Femi Fem leading a crew of selectors known for deep musical knowledge, warm energy and unshakeable dancefloor magnetism. For one special session at The Oval, we bring the spirit of an intimate London basement party out into the open air, blending sunshine, community, and pure musical upliftment.

A Celebration of Culture, Community & Groove

Femi Fem—DJ, producer, broadcaster and founding member of the legendary Young Disciples—has shaped UK soul, funk, and dance music for decades. His influence spans from the golden age of London club culture to global stages, radio, and cultural movements rooted in positivity, creativity, and unity.

With Music From The Basement, Femi curates a crew of DJs who share a love of timeless music and meaningful connection. Their sets move effortlessly between:

• Soul, funk & rare grooves

• Disco & boogie

• Broken beat, acid jazz & underground classics

• Global rhythms & sun-kissed festival favourites

• Surprise selections from deep in the crates

The result: an atmosphere that feels familiar yet exciting, nostalgic yet fresh—music designed to make you feel good, move freely and connect with the people around you.

The Basement Comes to the Beach

Hidden Beach Festival has always been about blending cultures, celebrating diversity, and creating spaces where people can learn, dance, and grow together. Music From The Basement taps directly into this ethos. Their takeover transforms The Oval into an open-air dancefloor where generations meet, styles merge, and the energy shifts from afternoon breeze to sunset flow to nighttime elevation.

Expect:

• Uplifting selections from start to finish

• Big smiles, warm grooves and feel-good movement

• Soulful storytelling through music

• A community vibe that welcomes everyone

• A journey through decades of sound, shaped with love
