Eats Everything Meets The Sharp Boys: A Tribute to Trade

Two of UK dance music’s most distinctive voices, Eats Everything and The Sharp Boys, come together in a new interview reflecting on one of the most influential club nights of the past three decades.

Eats Everything sits down with The Sharp Boys to revisit the legacy of Trade – the legendary queer-forward after-hours that redefined London nightlife and left an indelible mark on global club culture.

Held at Turnmills in Clerkenwell, Trade was the first legal after-hours club in the UK, opening its doors to a devoted crowd of misfits, music heads, and hedonists. Known for its fearless programming, inclusive spirit, and raw energy, it became a crucible for new sounds and ideas – a space where rules were broken and futures were imagined.

In this interview, Eats Everything and The Sharp Boys – both longtime admirers of Trade and its legacy – share memories, stories, and insights into what made the night so vital, and why its influence still resonates today. Alongside the music and mayhem, they recall some of the night’s more surreal moments – including the time Cher was politely turned away at the door after demanding VIP.

Eats Everything recently released a remix of the seminal My Love Is Deep. Originally released in 1995 on the Sharp Boys own ‘Sharp Recordings’, ‘My Love Is Deep’ went on to achieve national chart success on ‘Manifesto’.

Championed by the late, great Tony De Vit on the legendary dancefloor of ‘Trade’, Tony was the first DJ to play the ‘Sharp Dub’, after being handed an acetate by the boys.

Eats Everything, off the back of his debut album ‘We Lost Ourselves and Found A Family’, delivers a blistering new ‘Reebeef’. Listing the ‘Sharp Dub’ in his ‘10 Best Hardbag Tracks of All Time’, Eat’s admiration of the original, Tony De Vit and the nuances and essence of Dance Music culture is evident with this essential rework.
