Bobby. Takes Over Cobalt Studios for an All Night Long Set

Bobby Cobalt Studios takes over the Ouseburn venue on Friday 2 October 2026 for an all-night-long set running from 11pm into the early hours. The night is restricted to ages 21+, giving the booking a slightly different feel from the mixed-age club programme around it.

Bobby Connolly has built his reputation through London’s Pleasure Club and a long-running relationship with fabric, developing a DJ style that moves through house, techno, electro and the stranger spaces between them. Rather than arriving with a tightly defined genre brief, his sets tend to work through different eras and moods while keeping the dancefloor as the main focus.

Bobby Cobalt Studios gives one DJ the whole night

An all-night-long booking changes the shape of a club night. There is no need to rush through a peak-time selection or hand over to another artist after ninety minutes. Instead, Bobby has the full room from 11pm, allowing the set to build slowly, change direction and move through deeper records before the energy rises later on.

That format suits Cobalt particularly well. The venue’s intimate dancefloor and detailed sound system reward selectors who are prepared to take their time, and Bobby’s background with Pleasure Club has always leaned towards carefully chosen records rather than obvious crowd shortcuts. His own releases also sit across house, electro and techno, which gives some sense of the musical territory without pinning the night to one sound.

The 21+ restriction is worth noting before booking. Cobalt has introduced selected nights with higher age limits as part of its autumn programme, so ID will be important on arrival. The club has also built a strong no-camera culture around many of its electronic bookings, keeping the focus on the room and the music rather than phones on the dancefloor.

For Newcastle clubbers who prefer a DJ to stretch out properly, this is one of the autumn dates that stands apart from a standard multi-artist line-up. A four-hour window gives Bobby room to show why his reputation has grown through long-form sets and club residencies.
