Deviation is one of London’s most influential and enduring club nights, founded in 2007 by renowned resident DJ Benji B and host Judah. Established with a vision to create a space for music lovers, Deviation has played an integral role in shaping London’s nightlife scene, consistently delivering cutting-edge music and unforgettable club nights.
With a legacy spanning nearly two decades, Deviation continues to evolve while staying true to its roots, solidifying its place as a defining force in London’s music and nightlife history. From legendary residencies at XOYO and Gramaphone to sessions held at Concrete, Fabric, and Paradise in London, Deviation has evolved into a global music community taking place globally in Paris, Berlin, New York, Detroit, Miami, Moscow and Croatia.
As well as having performances from artists such as A$AP Rocky, James Blake, Jamie XX, Kaytranada, Kelela, Moodymann, Travis Scott and Virgil Abloh, Deviation has always aimed to support new, up and coming talent throughout the generations, such as Charisse C, Shy One and Kitty Amor.
Thank you so much to everyone who came down and celebrated Deviation’s 18th Birthday. Finally the club we started is old enough to go to the club! This milestone belongs to everyone who has helped us get there.
To celebrate 18 years of Deviation, we launched ‘These Are the Levels’ - a photobook that brings together more than 400 photographs from London, Paris, and New York, documenting the nights, people, and places that shaped the collective’s story.
