Joe Goddard (DJ)

The official On The Beach After Party lands at Concorde 2 in Brighton and Hove on 17 July 2026 with Joe Goddard on DJ duty. A founding member of Hot Chip and one half of The 2 Bears, Goddard moves easily between studio and booth: songwriter, producer, DJ, co-founder of the Greco-Roman label and a Grammy-nominated remixer. His sets connect songcraft to the dancefloor, stitching together supple house rhythms, hazy disco, synth-pop textures and the R&B inflections that run through his catalogue.

Alongside Hot Chip, his solo work on Electric Lines and Harvest Time and his projects with The 2 Bears feed a selector’s ear for vocal hooks, sturdy drums and basslines built for movement. Expect warm, melodic builds, edits and reworks that nod to UK soundsystem culture, and vocal-led passages that keep the room focused without breaking the flow. Goddard’s approach is about balance: hooks without excess, grooves that move from slow-burn to peak with clarity, and a steady conversation between club energy and pop sensibility. After the beach, he steers the night where it needs to go.
