20th Anniversary of UYR at The Pleasure Rooms (1994-1996) - Fri 22nd August 2014 at The Fav, Leeds

This is the live recording of a truly unforgettable night at Up Yer Ronson's party at The Faversham on Friday 22nd August to commemorate the 20th Anniversary of it's residency at The Pleasure Rooms, Leeds. All four original Up Yer Ronson DJ's Andy Ward, Neil Metzner, Marshall and myself Paul Murray got together and played for the first time in over 17 years!! To say they all blew the roof off is an understatement. So go grab a beer a relive the night starting with the opening set by Andy Ward….enjoy! x

Set 1 - Andy Ward-live mix-10pm-11pm Up Yer Ronson at The Fav, Leeds - Friday 22nd August 2014

Up next was Neil Metzner who played an absolute blinder of a set all on vinyl too!! It was the best part of 17 years since all the Ronson resident DJ's had played together on the same bill. Neil had hung his headphones up and thought he'd never play again. He said he was so nervous leading up to his set as he'd not DJ'd in front of a crowd like this since the Ronson days. All the buzz, excitement and butterflies he experienced were like he felt before his first ever gig at Ronson. I think I speak for everyone who was there that he had nothing to be nervous about. It was like he'd never been away…sit back and enjoy the batten handed over from Andy Ward…give it up for Neil Metzner! x

Set 2 - Neil Metzner-live mix-11pm-12am Up Yer Ronson at The Fav, Leeds - Friday 22nd August 2014

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

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!"
