Bestley is the lovechild of the glamour and grit of dancefloors past, channeling that raw energy, abandon and freedom vividly into the present moment. Celebrated for their blend of disco, house, soul, funk, rarities and classics Bestley has become London’s “go-to for sophisticated party disco” (Evening Standard).
Whether they are: soundtracking album launches for the likes of Lady Gaga, Camila Cabello, or the Scissor Sisters, warming up fans at Roundhouse for Mika or crowds of 20.000 people for Jessie Ware at Alexandra Palace, setting the mood at fashion events for Perfect Magazine, Ashish, Jean Paul Gaultier or Jimmy Choo: playing for the darlings of the stage at the London Theatre Awards, Bestley always reads the room and creates the perfect mood.
From high-energy sweaty super-clubs like Feel It or Glitterbox at HI Ibiza to luxury high-end venues such as Soho House and The Nomad, Bestley effortlessly sits between between the rugged underground and established refinement.
Their resume is a tour guide of iconic spaces including: Panorama Bar at Berghain, Koko, Fabric and Drumsheds: intimate listening rooms like Spiritland London (and Portugal) to cultural behemoths like the Tate Modern and the Southbank Centre: festivals like Glastonbury, Secret Garden Party and Mighty Hoopla, Bestley’s adaptive yet distinctive sensual sound perfectly meets the mood needed.
Annie Mac, whom Bestley supported over her acclaimed “Before Midnight” series calls them “an absolute world-class warm-up DJ who always gets it right.”
Jessie Ware similarly praised their sets at Alexandra Palace, saying Bestley is “my favourite DJ - guaranteed to make you throw your hands in the air, discover a new favourite song, and dance all night long.”
Bestley regularly plays at at Horse Meat Disco, founder Jim Stanton says :“When we’re away, we trust Bestley to take the reins at the mothership. Bestley is the foal to us four horses!”
Bestley is currently working on more of their own music having had previous releases on Kompact, Polari and Save Our Souls and amassing more than 2million streams on Spotify. With support from BBC Radio 6, the Blessed Madonna, DJ Paulette, Sophie Lloyd, Heidi Lawden and DJ Harvey, Bestley’s unique style and vocals are instantly recognisable with re-nowned tastemaker and label-head Cormac saying “Bestley is Polari’s Amanda Lear. I love their voice - it’s very genderqueer as many of the greats are: Grace Jones, Sylvester, Marc Almond, Jimmy Somerville”.
