tunes

After the feedback on my lockdown streams had been so joyous, particularly from the Hacienda fan contingent, I wanted to share the side of my record collection that had brought that joy during the streams in a live club environment.
The Hacienda was not only a huge part of UK club culture, but equally inspirational for many of us Stokie’s who were travelling up the M6 to experience some of these legendary nights.
Manchester was a real melting pot during this time. It wasn’t just the Hac of course, but other clubs such as Konspiracy & Most Excellent, just to name 2 that were having a big impact on all that were attending the events in Manchester during this time.
Then there were the record shops…
I would make my pilgrimage to Manchester most weekends, like most aspiring DJ’s would. The record buying mecca at the time was Eastern Bloc. There were of course iconic shops that pre-date this such as the legendary Spin Inn and then had other great shops such as MCR Underground which was an Iconic shop for many that sadly was forced to close after the tragic bombing in the mid 90s. Not forgetting the mighty Vinyl Exchange where I spent many happy hours.
Afflecks Palace for many was a haven of culture. Clothes, records, posters, all kinds of paraphernalia and a place where people would meet up to hang out. Most definitely one of Manchesters most iconic spots which also had an impact on me.
Enjoy the mix and the memories - Big Love - Pete x

Part 3 Shelleys Laserdome tribute

Stu Allan Shades Of Rhythm Bowlers Ultimate Revival 30/07/11

Radio 1 - Live.. Amnesia, Ibiza - 02-08-08 (5hrs)

A little demo mix from myself with tracks from the early nineties. House with some breaks thrown in.  All mixed in the original style!  This mix would have been suited to the original ark nights.  Real old skool housers will love this selection of tracks. Not the usual stuff that is on everyone else mixes.  These tracks are all truly forgotten gems of house!!!

Asha Jj Tribute Chris McManus Remix ( Back To The Old Crew Mix )

I own and promote the Superb JOY club nights held in and around the city of Leeds.. i am also one of the resident DJ's
Joy is one of the cities longest running club brands..


JOY was born in the illegal world of the club scene and quickly became something special. 

Partys were then had in iconic venues such as the Leeds Corn Exchange... Mint club, Stinkys and later Mission..

The music was originally 90's house, but later changed into a internationally recognised Techno brand.

I have been  lucky enough to DJ along side some of my all time favourite DJs...and meet some great people along the way

The fun does not end here,

Joy still holds a few events per year in venues that are as close as possible to the early days of Joy - the illegal years..   small and all out Atmospheric with very special guest DJs joining the superb residents...
