Sheffield Sessions: NYE Free Rave [Fixate vs Substrate vs Gumbo FM]

Sheffield, we’re doing NYE the only way we know how — loud, long, and absolutely free. Fixate, Substrate and Gumbo FM are joining forces for an 11‑hour marathon rave at Panke Social, bringing together three corners of the city’s underground for a night of community-led chaos.

Fixate bring their trademark Sheffield energy: Rave‑ready selections exploring the energetic & party-focussed side of underground techno. Expect maximum dancefloor intensity blending bouncy, fast-paced techno and hardgroove, always with a sharp focus on platforming Sheffields grassroots DJs.

Resients Move Elusive, Olorin and Cimmerian are joined by Shared Frequencies resident DJ Danny D to send it into the small hours.

Substrate roll in with the heavyweight DNB - a Sheffield based collective born from a shared passion for underground bass music, focusing on mad vibes and absolute bangers. Residents Chris Innasound, Jonny Bladei, Jays One and Renkei are joined by special guest Mr Hijinx and MC Beard to push the system to the limit

Gumbo FM complete the triangle holding down Room 2 with their breakbeat flavour — skippy drums, cheeky rhythms, and that playful Sheffield bounce they’ve championed across their radio broadcasts and parties since 2014. Residents Shaun Anthony and Ron Superior lead the charge with a full lineup of Gumbo FM DJs in support.

Together, it’s a full‑night journey through Techno, DNB, Breakbeat and everything in between — a proper Sheffield family affair to kick 2027 off right.
