HUNTER is now recognised worldwide as London’s Ultimate Leather & Fetish Event. Hosted by infamous hardcore LeatherDaddy Brew Hunter, alongside Scott Steele, London's hottest, newest Fetish promoter and DJ, HUNTER effortlessly re-creates the vibe and vigour of the classic leather clubs of the Castro, Tenderloin and the Meatpacking districts. Held at ELECTROWERKZ – London’s premier iconic alternative club venue – it’s a rammed evening (in every sense of the word) that takes the hunters and the hunted deep, down and dirty. Heavy-playing Leathermen with their bois and slaves mix effortlessly with the rauch and riot of rubber boys and K9s, with a heady dose of tattooed skins and scallies.
Our HUNTER guests return - time and time again - for a truly intense event of Male-on-Male fetish and action… dark shadows, the creak of leather, the shine of black rubber, the thick smell of cigar smoke, the flare of a match in the night; the rattle of a chain, the click of a handcuff, the crack of a whip; grunts, cries, heavy breaths in the blackness... Here, the Old Guard of power and protocol truly meets the Vanguard of London’s fierce and upcoming Fetish Scene, where chains, ropes and floggers are everywhere - and Brew Hunter invites BDSM Doms and Daddys onto the MASTERS CIRCLE, to present, parade, work on, and/or humiliate their slaves, muscleboy submissives and K9s, before an enthusiastic audience!
POWER / PROTOCOL / PAIN / PLEASURE ... Brew Hunter and friends invite you to join them on our now-notorious centre-stage MASTERS CIRCLE platform - a unique HUNTER opportunity and phenomenon for Fetish Masters, Doms and Handlers to present, parade, work on, and/or humiliate their slaves, submissives and K9s in public. For voyeurs and exhibitionists alike!

'FILTH'
[ Photographs by Colin Davis, Paintings by Orpheus ]
20.00 - 02.00
Following the run-away success of their London Fetish Week exhibition FILTH, Colin Davis and Orpheus, two of the world’s foremost gay fetish artists, are bringing an exclusive one-off exhibition to HUNTER. Featuring photography and original oil paintings FILTH at HUNTER will feature exciting new works along side some old favourites — including some set in the Electrowerkz infamous dark-room.
Orpheus is a British artist working in oil paint. His highly charged scenes of gay sex draw their compositions and moods from baroque art of the 17th century and are painted using the same techniques and materials as the old masters. His work has been exhibited in London and Canada and in 2025 he will be artist in residence at the Tom of Finland Foundation in Los Angeles.
Colin Davis, a London-based photographer, creates images that celebrate masculine beauty, merging influences from classical painting with the unfiltered intimacy of porn. His work delves into the primal human desire for connection, which underpins every interaction. His photographs have been exhibited in cities like Chicago, Antwerp, and London.
Brew Hunter introduces ‘FETISHIST’… introductions, interviews and explorations with friends, designers, promoters and personalities within the XX hardcore Fetish Scene.
At this event, we introduce Nhamo ( @spitfireleather ), visionary entrepreneur and innovative owner of SPITFIRE LEATHER. Approaching its 15th birthday, we hear how this trailblazing brand came into being, growing from a bold idea into a thriving Community Enterprise to making a lasting impact on fashion and beyond. We find out where it is heading, as we discuss Nhamo’s personal journey and inspirations.
Hunter Event Exclusive: The Black Card Experience
SPITFIRE LEATHER invites attendees of the upcoming Hunter event to an exclusive opportunity: register for a Spitfire Black Card account and gain access to exclusive benefits. One lucky registrant will win the ultimate Black Card experience, which includes a grooming session and a bespoke couture BLUF jacket, a signature piece that embodies the artistry and luxury of Spitfire Leather.
At HUNTER, we know how important it is for you Cigar Daddys and you Smokeboys to enjoy a dark, tight space where you can just light up and get down to some dirty conversation and full-on smoke play.
Easy! Just head past the HUNTER red-light cruising toilets, follow the thick smell of cigar smoke wafting through ‘BREW’S BAR’ (our crowded retro-style drinking den selling beer, amyl and cigars), and you can't miss the outdoor HUNTER CIGAR YARD – the SMokiest, best and baddest in London, where the hardcore Cigar Men and their ashtray slaves, boys, subs and admirers congregate and hunt throughout the night.
London's newest and hottest Fetish DJ - DJ STEELE + his hardcore GUESTS hit the Decks of HUNTER. Hardass cuts designed for your XX night in our Dark Zones and Cruising Corridors.

"HUNTER is Gay Fetish London's one true after-dark option. In January 2014 Brew Hunter got his boot in the door at then-waning east London leather/rubber stalwart The Backstreet (1985—2022), kicking off a series of fetish events that would both lure back seasoned leathermen and get younger guys off their phones and out the door. Backstreet reborn. But then in July 2022 the bar closed, leaving strict fetish London bereft of any after-dark options — and Hunter with nowhere to stage his signature Mastery nights and offshoots. Until July 2023, when Hunter announced a full-on return to the scene with this eponymously named sleaze session at Electrowerkz. The venue — built in the 19th century to accommodate horses that pulled city trams, then a a metalworks from 1925 — is located just round the corner from Angel Tube station. It comes with a formidable gay CV, and Hunter is expanding on his hardcore leather/cigar/rubber ethos (alongside his new Event partner, Scott Steele - London's newest and hottest hardcore Promoter/DJ) to include skins, scallies and more, though the landscape is predominantly classic leather and rubber. And thanks to the venue's not so straightforward layout, there are zones for myriad moods and activities, including the Mastery Zone, the Cigar Alley, the Dark Zone, the Vintage Porno Cinema and Brew's Bar. **Reminder: strictest dress code**"
