Overview
STORIES is the label, club series, and artist platform launched by Sarah Story, created to bring forward-thinking house and electronic music into focus with zero pretension. Built on the belief that everyone has a story to tell, STORIES is a space for DJs, producers, and artists to express themselves without compromise—prioritizing sound, talent, and community over hype.
The brand officially launched in early 2024 with a clear vision: to build a platform rooted in quality club music and equal opportunity. Since its debut, STORIES has already hosted events across key cities in electronic music culture. The first run of shows landed in Birmingham at LAB11, Brighton, London’s iconic fabric, and on the mountaintop stages of Snowbombing Festival. From there, it quickly expanded internationally, with showcases in Amsterdam, Ibiza, Paris, and New York—including a takeover at Queens’ H0L0 Open Air.
These parties are purposefully curated: room-focused, musically consistent, and built to support both established selectors and new names with something to say. Past lineups have included respected figures like Gerd Janson, Demi Riquísimo, Matrefakt, Lu.Re, and Serenda, alongside Sarah herself.
On the label side, STORIES has been just as intentional. The first releases set the tone—club-focused tracks from the likes of Big Miz, Emma B, and Prunk, whose track Heat was remixed by Hot Since 82. Sarah also introduced her own original productions through the platform, including tracks like The Line, 4AM, and a collaboration with Hilit Kolet titled Miss Behave. Every release is designed for real dance floors—no fluff, no filler, just records that DJs actually want to play.
STORIES isn't trying to flood the market. It's not about dominating charts or chasing algorithm wins. It’s about building something that lasts—off the back of well-programmed lineups, quality releases, and a focus on artists who actually contribute to the culture. The platform also acts as an open door for new talent, with demo calls and transparent submission policies shared regularly through its channels.
Founded by someone who’s spent years behind the decks and on national radio—hosting Future Dance on BBC Radio 1—Sarah Story has brought both taste and experience into the foundation of STORIES. It's not a side project. It’s a home for the kind of house and club music that DJs, dancers, and producers genuinely care about.
