Lovingly mixed by 'man not machine' using only vinyl records on 3 x Technics 1210's and a Pioneer DJM600 mixer.

Paul Murray presents 'Summer Grooves' - Volume 1

I was honoured to be asked to put together a classics mix to coincide with the upcoming Hard Times 19th Anniversary party with Louie Vega....no pressure then!! haha

I added a few more current tracks that I thought would sit well if Hard Times was still going at the time of their releases....hope you enjoy it as much as I did putting it together...x

Marshall - Part 3 - Live @ Muzza's 'Acid House' 40th Birthday Party

I asked Russ Morgan aka K-Klass to come and drop a few tunes at my party as I wanted some of the original pioneers of the house music scene in this country playing! K-Klass will be celebrating 25 years in the game later this year so I was made up when Russ agreed to come and play....here is his set recorded live at my party!! I'm sure you'll agree he rocked the place...this is part 4 of 6 and go in set time order 12.00am-1am after Marshall...Enjoy x

K-Klass - Part 4 - Live @ Muzza's 'Acid House' 40th Birthday Party

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

Finishing off an unforgettable night was one of the original Hacienda residents and good friend Buckley who played a set full of true Acid House gems from 86-89. He played 2am-4am. To be fair, he was only supposed to play 2am-3.15am and I was supposed to play the last 45 minutes. But due to getting little bit too excited (smashed out of my head) and going AWOL for an hour throwing up outside, I was unable to fulfil my duties. So Buckley for the last 45 minutes was thinking he was playing his last tune before I came on!! Not the best situation for a DJ to be in but to Buckley's credit, he did a wicked job!

I did manage to find where the decks were at 3.55am and play the last tune of the night after everyone in the place had sang me Happy Birthday....so whilst the hairs were still standing up on the back on my neck and arms, I dropped Chaka Khan - 'Ain't Nobody'! ..It was a fitting end to an unbelievable night that will live with me for the rest of my days. 

I wanted to put a party on that captured the vibe and feel of the Acid House 'Summer Of Love' days of 88-89 (the best years of my life) by hosting a rave in a warehouse! I knew it was gonna be good....but I never imagined it was gonna be THAT good. 

So a big THANK YOU goes out firstly the DJ's who gave up their time to come and play for free, and play out of their skins to boot!! But a party isn't a party without the crowd....and every single one of you deserves a massive THANK YOU...you can say you were there when we went back in time for one night only and relived those days when you lived for the weekend and it was all about the love of house music and that special vibe!! 

Big love...Muzza xxx

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!"
