Nonna Fab Brings an Early Dancefloor Session to Cobalt

Nonna Fab Cobalt Studios lands on Saturday 26 September 2026 as part of Cobalt’s Some Like It Early series, with Calvin Murta joining the Sheffield-based DJ, producer and multi-instrumentalist. The session runs from 7pm to 11pm, offering a full dancefloor night without pushing into the early hours.

Nonna Fab has become a familiar name around Sheffield’s underground scene through Apricot Ballroom, Movement and Soul Records and a wider approach that moves between house, disco, jazz, funk and leftfield dance music. That broad record bag makes a lot of sense for a Cobalt event built around soulful, disco-led and house-focused selections.

Nonna Fab Cobalt Studios keeps the party early

The idea behind Some Like It Early is simple: start properly at 7pm, get the room moving straight away and finish by 11pm. It gives the night a different rhythm from the club sessions that follow later, while still treating the early slot like a proper party rather than a warm-up.

Nonna Fab’s own catalogue shows the same kind of range. Alongside DJ sets, he has released original music, edits and reworks while keeping a strong connection to groove-heavy club music. That mix of producer instinct and experienced selector should fit well with a room like Cobalt, where the sound system and close dancefloor can reward a set that moves between styles rather than sitting in one lane.

Calvin Murta joins the bill for the evening, adding another selector to a four-hour window that should leave plenty of space for both DJs to build the room gradually. The 7pm opening also makes this an unusually accessible Saturday club option for anyone who wants a full night of music without a 3am finish.

Cobalt Studios sits in the Ouseburn area and has developed a strong reputation for carefully booked electronic nights alongside live performance and arts programming. This one leans firmly towards dancers who value warm grooves, deep selections and a crowd that arrives ready to move.
