Work
We've run the nights. Now we build what the scene runs on.
Websites, ticketing, venue listings, apps, radio and DJ pages, AI assistants, launch content and merch, for venues, promoters, brands and community organisations. Everything on this page is live or printed. We built it for ourselves first.
Built for others
What we build
-
Venue and event websites
A site that sells the night, lists the events and takes the booking.
-
Ticketing with no organiser fees
Sell tickets to your own crowd without handing a cut to a third party.
-
Venue discovery and data
Listings, maps and event data that help the right people find your door.
-
Member apps with safety built in
An app for your crowd where safety, consent and aftercare sit next to the party.
-
Radio stations and DJ pages
A station, resident shows and a page for every DJ.

How we work
- 01A conversationYou tell us what you run and what it needs. Phil and Glen both take the call.
- 02A buildWe build it on the same stack that runs the estate.
- 03We keep it runningIt goes live, and we stay on it.
A launch, start to finish: HNH MESS
HnH means one thing on the grid: sat in, high, nowhere to go. We took the letters back. Hard N Horny. Happy N Healthy. Hand N Hand. HNH MESS is a lube with no shame on the label and aftercare in the name, and it's the kind of launch we build: the name, the reclaim, the product shot, the A0-to-A3 print, the radio ident, the posters for the places people stand still.
It exists because the loneliest message on the scene is a two-letter one, and we'd rather it meant "come out".
