It’s the Runner Up Hotline ☎️ and here is how it works:

1. Pick up the phone
2. Wait for the intro message
3. Speak into it like you’re calling your long-lost best friend at 2am

Confessions, questions, unhinged thoughts. Nothing’s off limits.

Calls are recorded and may be used for social media.

We’re so excited to announce an ongoing monthly residency @runnerup.rooftop ❤️

One night a month, we’ll be taking over Runner Up to host our dating events.

Each month we’ll be rotating through different age groups and demos, starting off with a queer event for lesbians & wlw (ages 25-35).

Starting Thursday, 21st May.

Tickets and more event info in our bio. Hope to see you there xxx

This month’s featured artist is @empty.deejay 🎶

His top record pick? Nat I Århus (test pressing) from Danish label Regelbau. A super personal one for him, shaped by time spent in Århus and the community there. The hand drawn sleeve by friends makes it even more special, bringing back long days in the June sun and the spirit of the 8000.

The standout track? Hard to choose when every cut hits, but “Sunrise Sunset” stands out, a collaboration from the whole Regelbau crew. It really captures that Århus house feeling. Feels like a full dancefloor and a big smile moment.

As a record collector, radio presenter, and DJ, Empty DJ also runs an archival blog focused on uploading records that are not online. He is drawn to overlooked and hard to find releases, often digging through record shops or deep on Discogs. It all started with Chicago records on labels like Trax and Dance Mania, worn recycled vinyl cuts that still carry a strong piece of dancefloor history.

Well, well, well… look who’s back.

After a short hiatus to recharge the disco machine, we’re ready to rock once again.

Making our return to Runner Up Rooftop Bar with international guest @emily.mle (@rhythmsectionhq / Berlin).

Clock off and join us for an open-air dance party, with @brontesaurussex and Love Sensation DJs steering the ship from 6pm.

It’s a free session, and we recommend getting down early.

A little bit of light in the darkness.

Hope to see you all there 💗
