As summer draws to a close and autumn term dawns on us it's time to get your boogie on once again and head on down to World HQ to celebrate with us for our 2nd Birthday! We've had an amazing summer with plenty of fun adventures including our first ever festival outing, but none of it could quite compare to being in World HQ and getting our groove on with our amazing SoulJam Family!
We truly can't wait to get back in the dance with y'all and seeing as it's our second birthday we thought we'd treat ourselves to a double header!! This means you can catch us celebrating in style at World HQ on Wednesday 17th September AND Tuesday 23rd September!
It's been an fantastic two years since we launched back in 2012 and it's been amazing to see how our little Soul, Funk and Disco party has grown into the number one night for authentic boogie in the city!
For those of you who are new to SoulJam, we are Newcastle's #1 for Soul, Funk and Disco and no other night in the city rivals the energy and atmosphere created by our gorgeous crowd. Once a month we take to the decks at the cities leading club for great music to deliver to you the very best in authentic boogie. We guarantee no false promises, no cheese and no bullshit, just great tunes and great times!
See you on the dancefloor!!

This summer we were lucky enough to be invited to play the brilliant Gottwood Festival in Wales, check out one of the many reviews that includes a cheeky lil mention of us!
'Like most festivals, the days in Gottwood are far more sober and clear-minded than the nights. But under the hot sun on Saturday afternoon, Newcastle’s SoulJam DJs play one of the most energetic and astute daytime sets. They move the entirety of the Mother Owl stage (even those delicate souls queueing for some restorative grub manage a light bop) with their mix of disco and funk, producing the most euphoric moment of the weekend with Dimitri in Paris’s remix of Prince’s ‘I Wanna Be Your Lover’.
