The project

Homostash is an LGBTQIA+ multi-platform project created and run by London-based DJ and promoter Tafkanik & creative director and photographer Rodrigo Branco. It features and brings together alternative culture and moustache lovers across the globe.

Since its creation in 2014, Homostash has been a London-based party that delivers an open-minded, welcoming and fun atmosphere. Starting at the Moustache Bar in Dalston, it moved to Dalston Superstore in 2015. Later in 2022, Homostash expanded to Colours Hoxton.

Homostash has hosted guest events at EGG London as well as Eagle London. It had the honour of organising the official event for the LGBT History Month UK at Five Miles in 2018 and has collaborated with other major LGBTQIA+ London parties such as Papa Loko, Trough, Howl, and international online events during the pandemic.

The party is home to local and worldwide techno, tech-house and disco DJs. Visual artists also showcase their work as exhibitions or audiovisual performances. The event has been listed by Time Out London as one of the best London Pride Events for two consecutive years in 2023 and 2024.

It has great music and an inspirational setting for anyone looking for fun and creative people. Homostash has also worked closely with and supported several charities, such as the Movember Foundation, Long Time No Syphilis, Positive East, Al-Qaws, Rainbow Migration, and Prepster.

A distinctive trademark of Homostash is its original artwork and photography. During the 2020 pandemic, Homostash published the first issue of its Homostash Diaries, an underground publication featuring nightlife and the London queer community. This August 17th, Homostash will celebrate its 10th anniversary with a series of events at Velorose Gallery and Colours Hoxton and the release of the 3rd Homostash Diaries zine- Collector’s Edition.
