Alluring Artistic Aesthete
The Roustabouts make for a distinctly dapper duet with a hands-on performance behind their custom DJ decks and visuals.

“One night they might be bestowing sounds from bygone eras and exotic lands with a razor sharp modern twist and the next serving a rich banquet of familiar guilty pleasures mashed together as you’ve never heard them before.”
From Cabaret to Clubland to Art House
This London-based international act of devilish dandies share a penchant for the decadent and diverse. Their eclectic collection allows them to craft unique genre-spanning creations.

“The absolute best bit of the night, however, must be credited to the Roustabouts because the music was the star of the show. Everyone agreed they absolutely loved the mashups of 80s (and earlier) electro and new romanticism with modern pop.(...) It was an infectious combination that really made you want to dance. And, as the night wore on, everyone certainly did! The music segued from the darker 80s stuff to mostly contemporary, more poppy crowd-pleasing songs that went down a treat with everyone on the dance floor. People only stopped dancing when they were forced to by the club shutting.”
