Arielle Free at Club SEEN

The pool deck at Club SEEN catches the early afternoon heat first. By two the sun loungers are filling, ice is cracking into glasses at three separate bars, and the speakers are doing what they do at this hour: something low, something warm, something that sits under conversation rather than on top of it. The bass will climb. The light will change. By the time the fire show takes the beach, the sound system will be doing something else entirely.

This Saturday, the artist behind that transition is Arielle Free. Scottish-born, London-based, and one of the most recognisable voices in UK dance music. Free hosts BBC Radio 1's Rave Up every Thursday evening and has been a fixture on the station for over five years, shaping what millions of listeners hear before anyone else. Off the airwaves, her festival CV reads like a circuit board of the UK and European summer: Glastonbury, Creamfields, Tomorrowland, Parklife, and a string of Ibiza dates including Hï Ibiza alongside Meduza and James Hype. Her own club night and label, Free Your Mind, has been building a catalogue since 2020. Her latest EP, The Road to Miami, dropped in March 2026, following the single Piratas in February; both lean into the groove-led, vocal-forward house sound she has made her own.

That sound sits somewhere between disco warmth and peak-time momentum. Silky vocal chops over rolling, four-to-the-floor grooves; percussion that swings rather than hammers; basslines with enough weight to move a room but enough melody to carry the hook. Free builds energy through layers and tempo shifts rather than drops, which makes her particularly suited to a beachfront set that starts in daylight and ends after dark. The open air, the salt breeze, and the slow fade of the sky are part of the arrangement.

This Gudu Records mix captures exactly that warmth and forward motion. Hit play around the halfway mark for a taste of what Saturday afternoon will feel like.

Doors open at 2 p.m. for the full day-to-night programme on the beachfront. The headline set builds through sunset into the evening, with the main event running through to 11 p.m. From there, the after party moves into the UNSEEN Clubroom for a late-night continuation. Main event and after party are separately ticketed via Megatix. The event is 18+.
