Percolate

Percolate is a London clubbing and events promoter founded in 2012 by Fred Letts and friends. Its first party took place in a Soho basement, followed by an event at a Brixton studio, where it staged eight parties over the next year. Simon Denby joined Letts as a business partner after the first year and took charge of booking. Its programming spans house, disco and techno.

Its events have used London venues including The Cause, Village Underground and HERE, as well as The Roadmender in the Midlands and O2 Academy Leeds. Line-ups have included 4am Kru, Fez the Kid, Napes and Samurai Breaks. Percolate marked the fifth anniversary of My Love Is Underground with a 2015 party at Village Underground. In 2019, it started Percolate Records with Austin Ato’s four-track EP When Love Gets Cold.
