Sometimes, you might want a bit more entertainment for your night so it helps to know who some of the best promoters are in the city to look out for. These are in no particular order and there are other promoters in Sheffield, but we want to give you some pointers on who to follow locally to keep in the loop for the best under ground and headline promotions.

Tekkers Tekkers is mainly known for promoting UK Garage and Bassline events although the will throw the odd RnB type event. If you are wanting a night that is high energy, intimate with some good energy, make sure you keep an eye out for their events.
We Love To Party We Love To Party is a promotion that does as it says on the tin. If you love a bit of Soul, RnB, Afrobeats & Reggae then you need to make sure you keep an eye out for their flagship yearly promotions that are ALWAYS a night of fun vibes.
Steel City Dancehall Events Steel City Dancehall is where you need to be if you love you some Bashment, Dancehall and all things Jamaica. Steel City Dancehall put on a range of Dancehall focused events with a twist inclduing boat parties, festivals and overseas trips.
Reflective If you are a lover of classic 4x4, Bassline and UKG then Refelctive is the promotion for you. This goes especially if you was a regular at the old Sidney Street Niche venue as not many venues or promoters cater to the classic organ sound of 4x4.
However, if you enjoy the music vibes on our Online Radio and the Mixes available on our playlists, you might want to register for the memebrs only B1X events we do. Our motto is we party when it feels right, not when we feel like so make sure you sign up so you don't miss out on our exclusive parties. Click HERE for our events page
