DJing has evolved dramatically since its origins in the 1940s, transforming from a simple way to play records on air to an influential art form. Early radio DJs laid the groundwork, but it wasn’t until the 1970s, when New York pioneers like Kool Herc began mixing records on two turntables, that modern DJing took shape.

The introduction of the Technics SL-1200 turntable in 1972 revolutionised mixing, enabling techniques like beatmatching, scratching, and sampling. DJs became central to Hip Hop culture, shaping the genre through breakbeats and innovative turntablism.

The 80s and 90s saw DJs rise to prominence with electronic dance music, leading to new genres like House music and the rise of superstar DJs, forever changing the musical landscape. Now, we’re bringing a bit of this music culture to The Pear at Parley.

What's On

A Night to Remember…

Curveball launched Friday Night Music at The Pear at Parley on July 26th, promising a night to remember with an amazing set. Over 100 of you joined us for Scout & Hunter’s unmissable street food menu, including their famous beef brisket and vegan pulled ‘pork’.

Anyone who’s seen Curveball before will know how great they are, and it was incredible to see so many people up dancing and singing along! Our team had a great night – Jen even made it onto the dancefloor to showcase her moves.

We can’t wait to do it all over again, bigger and better!
