For those who seek the music, come to dance and create the culture.
Vintage JBL, Altec Lansing and TAD. Inspired by the early disco systems of New York. Deep disco, soulful house and rare gems — delivered in the highest fidelity. Exclusively at Gingerino's, Ouseburn, Newcastle.
Public House HiFi is Newcastle's only vintage audiophile sound system — researched, built, and maintained by Vinny Vins and Diz Jockey. Inspired by the legendary early disco systems of New York, every component has been meticulously sourced and refined to bring the North East something it's never had before.
This isn't background music. Public House exists to deliver music in the highest possible fidelity, played by DJs who are genuinely dedicated to the art form — selectors who dig deep, play with care, and understand what a sound system like this is capable of.
Music and community first. Always.
The foundation of the system. Legendary American drivers renowned for their warmth, dynamics, and the ability to fill a room without fatigue. The same heritage used in the great disco rooms of the 70s.
Voice of the Theatre horns. Altec Lansing's horn-loaded compression drivers deliver midrange clarity and presence that modern PA systems simply cannot replicate. Warmth and articulation in equal measure.
Technical Audio Devices — some of the finest transducers ever made. TAD components bring studio-grade precision to the dance floor, delivering high frequencies with accuracy and zero harshness.
7ft wall of bass. Floor-to-ceiling low end that you feel as much as hear.
Floating tweeter array that rains the highs down over the crowd.
Public House HiFi has an exclusive home — the upstairs loft space at Gingerino's Pizza on Stepney Bank in Ouseburn, Newcastle. Pizza and drinks downstairs, hi-fi listening upstairs.
100 tickets. No more. Every event is intentionally small — a space where you can actually hear the music the way it was meant to be heard, where you can talk to the people around you, and where the focus is always on the sound and the selection.
Deep disco. Soulful house. Hip hop. Rare gems. Played slowly, played carefully, played loud.
Ben Lewis and Josh Ludlow — the London duo behind M.A.D Records and M.A.D Edits. Since 2020 they've built a reputation for loose, energetic sets moving through classic house, oddball edits, disco, B-sides and proper party records. Panorama Bar, Fabric, Glastonbury, Love International and Gottwood. Five hours upstairs gives them plenty of room to do their thing.
We're keeping this one quiet for now. A firm Public House favourite joins us for the full five-hour session. Name announced closer to the date.
Danny Berman — DJ, producer and the man behind the independent Bergerac label. Two decades of making and playing music across house, disco and the stranger edges of club music. Wonky Bassline Disco Banger was one of the defining records of his career, but his sets reach much further than one sound. Five hours upstairs to go properly deep into the collection.
HiFi builders and long-time DJs Diz & Vins have the room from start to finish. Starting slow and deep before working through house, disco and the records Public House was built around.
DJ, collector and one of the people behind East London institution Love Vinyl. His digging runs deep through disco, boogie, soul, jazz-funk, house and rare private-press records, alongside his own productions and edits with Linkwood. Joining us for Halloween with five hours to properly work through the shelves.
Mixes, live recordings, and selections from Public House HiFi events and residents.
