TRADE was the UK’s original queer after-hours party phenomenon, and the club that tore up the rulebook and invented daytime clubbing, and TRADE is back with The Birthday – a celebration of iconic clubbing history.
For this milestone, TRADE moves east, taking over the newly remodelled Number 90 in Hackney Wick. With three dancefloors, including The Boat, a huge upgraded D&B sound system, and a stunning extended canalside terrace, it’s the perfect new home for TRADE’s legendary marathon sessions.
And true to its trailblazing reputation, TRADE is once again ahead of the curve – running from 2pm to 2am. Long before festivals and afterparties made daytime raving the norm, TRADE pioneered the concept. Now, the innovators return to their roots with a 12-hour day-into-night journey of house, techno, and harder beats.
“The sound that Trade championed is now being played out to dancefloors across the world. It felt the right time for Trade to return. Hackney Wick, and the venue Number 90 – a fantastic underground space – feels perfect for Trade to come back with new energy”
