live mix from the FAC51 Hacienda party for Shine at The Warehouse, Leeds - Saturday 2nd August 2014

Next up on the decks as part of Up Yer Ronson's 20th Anniversary party at The Faversham to commemorate it's residency at The Pleasure Rooms from 1994-1996 was one of the true pioneers of the Leeds House music scene and the original Up Yer Ronson resident DJ Marshall. He played from 12am-1am when the crowd were absolutely rocking….sit back and enjoy this superb mix of vocal house, dubs and deep house treats mixed together seamlessly by a true master….ladies & gentlemen, give it up for Marshall!! x

Set 3 - Marshall-live mix-12am-1am Up Yer Ronson at The Fav, Leeds - Friday 22nd August 2014

Up next on the decks was myself Paul Murray who had a big job coming on after those 3 amazing sets before me took the roof off The Faversham…no pressure then! I hope you enjoy listening back to this as much as I enjoyed playing and looking at all you smiley, happy people bringing back some amazing memories of Ronson at The Pleasure Rooms…x

Set 4 - Paul Murray-live mix-1am-2am Up Yer Ronson at The Fav, Leeds - Friday 22nd August 2014

So after playing an absolutely wicked set from 11pm-12am, Neil Metzner came back on and took the roof off with a wicked selection of big room bombs….you would never have known he'd not dj'd in this kind of environment since Ronosn ended some 17 years ago!  He was so nervous before he played  but listening to and watching him mix an all vinyl set it was like he'd never been away….good lad Metz!! x

Set 6 - Neil Metzner-live mix-2.30am-3am Up Yer Ronson at The Fav, Leeds - Friday 22nd August 2014

Coming back back on after rocking the place earlier with his trademark deep beats and vocal house was Up Yer Ronson stalwart and Leeds legend Marshall who played from 3am-3.30am and got the place in the groove with some wicked House music…enjoy x

Set 7 - Marshall-live mix-3am-3.30am Up Yer Ronson at The Fav, Leeds - Friday 22nd August 2014

So here you have it, the final mix of a truly unforgettable night. It just went so damn quickly though! It was all a bit of a blur playing this last 30 minutes! So much so, I ended up playing for 1hr 20mins! haha. Hats off to the other DJ's Andy Ward, Neil Metzner & Marshall who played absolutely blinding sets and sent home a very happy bunch of middle aged party animals! We don't get out very often anymore due to moving on and having responsibilities like kids and jobs but to take a step back into the times when we didn't have a care in the world and lived for the weekend was just great. I doubt we'd be able to do it every weekend but maybe the odd party once or twice a year to commemorate the best times of our lives might be manageable for the next few years at least. 

So if you're up for doing it all over again then let me know and I'll see what we can come up with…Big love Muzza & Tony xx 

Closing Set-Paul Murray-live mix-3.30am-close Up Yer Ronson at The Fav, Leeds - Fri 22nd August 2014

Bill Brewster's warm-up set from Low Life party at Autumn Street Studios, November 2014. 

BILL BREWSTER | Low Life November 2014

This mix was originally recorded a few years back for a radio show that was hosted by Shine, the guys behind residency I hold at the legendary Leeds Warehouse. It's features many of the tracks that I used to hear played at The Hacienda when I was going in the late 80's, early 90's and ultimately got me into DJ'ing. These are some of my personal all time favourite records that when I hear them rekindle some great memories from that era. I hope you like playing this as much as I did mixing these wicked tracks together...enjoy! x

10pm-11pm - Andy Ward - live @ Up Yer Ronson - The Faversham, Leeds - Saturday 27th Dec 2014

Following on from the wicked set Marshall played was always going to be a big ask and when you go on after all 3 of the UYR DJ's who all rocked the place the pressure was on to deliver. The Faversham was absolutely jumping by the time I took to the decks so it was just a case of keeping the vibe alive...they were still dancing by the time I came off so I did alright haha....hope you enjoy cos it was certainly fun playing that's for sure! Enjoy..x

Following on from K-Klass was daunting task for any DJ, but I had every confidence in Mr Garry Dabill. He was one of the first I asked to play at my party and I've always looked out for him and tried to get him breaks whenever I could...he knows how to rock a party!! This is part 5 of 6 and goes in the dj's set order....Garry played 1am-2am! x

Garry Dabill - Part 5 - Live @ Muzza's 'Acid House' 40th Birthday Party

Born & bred in Leeds, Paul Murray was brought up on a healthy diet of acid house parties, illegal raves and the legendary Hacienda in Manchester.

In 1993 Paul was offered an exclusive Friday night residency at 'UpYerRonson' The Music Factory, Leeds where he gained his stripes as a leading House DJ playing alongside and gaining recognition from the likes of Sasha, Graeme Park, Paul Oakenfold, Frankie Knuckles, Tony Humphries, M-People & Sister Sledge to name just a few. He held the residency for 6 fun filled years of madness & wicked parties. Ask him now what was the highlight of his 6 years at 'UpYerRonson' and he'll tell you that every Friday was different and having clubbers actually coming to check his sets out rather than the so called 'big name' DJs was a compliment and testament to the talent & ability he has to create a vibe only that man Muzzcroft could do.

In 1996, his unique style and amazing talent got him his first summer residency at Amnesia, Ibiza where his sets on the terrace alongside Brandon Block were legendary and rocked the crowds week in week out. From his residency at Amnesia came offers to guest DJ at some of the Islands biggest clubs including Pacha, Es Paradis & Manumission and saw him regularly fly out to Majorca to play for Club Cream at their weekly night at BCM. Paul also hosted the pre-club parties at Cafe Mambo playing with some of the industries biggest DJs including Roger Sanchez, DJ Sneak & Erick Morillo. 

At the end of his first full season in Ibiza in 1996, Javi the owner of Cafe Mambos offered him to return next summer and become the new season resident DJ. Paul reluctantly tuned the offer down due to work commitments back in the UK but has continued to grace the magical white Isle and guested at clubs and bars from 1997-2000 where he played at some amazing one off parties.

Paul recently brought the UpYerRonson parties out of retirement for a series of one off parties. 
In August 2014 he put on a special party at The Faversham, Leeds to commemorate the 20th Anniversary of the residency UYR held at The Pleasure Rooms between 1994-1996. 
August 2015 was the 21st Anniversary of UpYerRonson's sold out party they put on at Space, Ibiza in 1995. So to celebrate that amazing day, they put on an all day / all night terrace party and set about recreating the infamous Space Terrace on the outside area of Mint Warehouse, Leeds. The party was such a success that it's been placed up there with one of the best they've ever done. 
UpYerRonson ARE BACK and now throw 2 annual Day & Night Terrace Parties a year (end of May bank holiday Saturday & end of August bank holiday Saturday) from 2pm-2am at Mint Warehouse, Leeds and an annual Christmas Blowout Party on Mad Friday at Mint Club, Leeds.

In December 2016, UpYerronson decided to celebrate the 21st Anniversary of their Pleasure Rooms residency by taking over the original venue (now called Bar Soba)and transformed it back into The Pleasure Rooms for one night only! They even recreated the raised mezzanine floor where the DJs had to climb up a ladder to get to. Paul said "Being up there was quite surreal looking down on the crowd below thinking that we would never of thought that 21 years later, we'd be up here again playing music to the UpYerRonson crowd!"
