Here's a live mix recorded during the recent Hacienda party I played for Shine at The Warehouse, Leeds. The tracks on the mix are mainly from my time I was resident at Up Yer Ronson, Leeds from 1992-1996. You can catch me and the other Up Yer Ronson residents Marshall, Andy Ward & Neil Metzner at our upcoming party on 22nd August to commemorate the 20th anniversary of our residency at The Pleasure Rooms, Leeds from 1994-1996. Details can be found on our Facebook event page so if you want a ticket get in touch as we only have a few left - https://www.facebook.com/events/692647764116316/?fref=ts

Enjoy the mix…big love Muzza x

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

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

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 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

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

Paul Murray presents 'The Classics Collection'

On the decks following Neil Metzner was the one and only Marshall who played a seamless mix of US driven house & garage tracks...the crowd at this point were well and truly getting lost in the music and the DJ's were taking it up a level....check this out for a mixing masterclass...x

12am-1am - Marshall - live @ Up Yer Ronson - The Faversham, Leeds - Saturday 27th December 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

Live DJ mix I recorded at The Rock Bar, Leeds on Friday 21st October for the 'Up Yer Ronson Reunion' party with Graeme Park. My set was from 9.30pm - 12.30am warming up for Graeme Park who played from 12.30am - 3am.

The mix contains many tracks that I used to play at my Up Yer Ronson residency in Leeds & Ibiza...enjoy x


Paul Murray - Live mix 'Up Yer Ronson Reunion' at The Rock Bar, Leeds - Friday 21st October 2011

Brandon Block & Alex P - B2B Live mix @ UYR Ibiza Reunion Terrace Party - Sat 28th May 2016

Following on from Marshall is a guy who we've known since the crazy days of UpYerRonson in Ibiza back in 1994. He was the resident DJ at Cafe Mambo at the time and he caught our attention as someone who knows a good tune when he plays one. Since then, Bysie has been a regular DJ at our Ibiza parties we've put on in Mambo's, Es Paradis, Space & Amnesia. 

Jason absolutely rocked the Mint Warehouse Terrace when he made his UK Ronson debut back in August 2015, so we got him back for his second appearance in May 2016 and tore the terrace to pieces with a sublime selection of Ibiza classic terry's from the 90's including a few cheeky productions of his own. So get ready to experience a lesson in how to rock a party...Ibiza style! Give it up for Jason Bye...x

Bysie will playing for us again on Saturday 27th August 2016 when we join forces with Soak to bring you an all day & all night end of summer terrace party. Click on the event link below for more info:

Jason Bye - Live Mix @ UYR Ibiza Reunion Terrace Party - Sat 28th May 2016

Following the sublime opening set on the outdoor terrace from our long standing residents Andy Ward & Neil Metzner, we had one of our longstanding Ibiza residents and good friend, Jason Bye. This was Bysies third appearance in 12 months for UYR and every time he has played, he's delivered a masterclass in how to rock a party. Jason played the 5.30pm-7.00pm slot for this party as he had to fly back for DJ commitments in Ibiza later that night. But it didn't stop him dropping some of his trademark Terry's, jackin' beats and stone cold classic house that got the terrace rockin'

So get this bad boy on and turn it up LOUD!! x

Jason Bye - Soak & UpYerRonson 'End of Summer Day & Night Party' - Mint Warehouse 27.08.2016

Here's the live recording of my set at the recent Hard Times Pre-Party at 53 Degrees North, Leeds on Saturday 4th February 2017. I played from 7pm-11pm and this is the last 3 hours or so packed with a sprinkling of 90's house bombs alongside some newer bits. Hope you dig...! x

Live recording from Hard Times Pre-Party at 53 Degrees North Leeds - 4th February 2017

Following Marshall's sublime set was one of New Yorks original House Movement DJ's & Producers, Mr Victor Simonelli. He tore the terrace a new a-hole with selection of his trademark New York jackin' house beats and stone cold classics that were put together effortlessly. I found the mic recording that I thought I had lost so you can hear the crowd going off in the background!! 

We enjoyed Victor's set so much that we have booked him to play our End of Summer Day & Night Terrace Party on Saturday 26th August 2017.

So get this on and relive what was one of the best sets we've heard on the terrace....x

Victor Simonelli live at UpYerRonson Terrace Party - 27th May 2017

Hacienda resident Tom Wainwright recorded live at the Soak & UpYerRonson 'End of Summer Day & Night Party' Saturday 27th August 2016 at Mint Warehouse.

Tom Wainwright live at Soak & UYR 'End of Summer Day & Night Party' - Sat 27th August 2016

Following the wicked opening set from our residents Lee James & Garry Dabill was a DJ who used to be a regular guest at UpYerRonson and even hosted the infamous 12 Nights of Summer Party at The Pleasure Rooms in 1996....he was back making his first UYR appearance in over 20 years....the legend that is Jeremy Healy!! Jeremy played the 5pm-6.30pm set on the Terrace so one would think he'd take it easy and play some cool summer terrace vibes...don't be silly, this is Jeremy Healy we're talking about, THE best PARTY DJ who always plays a set that will make you dance whatever time of day it is!! So sit back or rather get up and have a boogie to the original Superstar DJ, Mr Jeremy Healy! x

Jeremy Healy live at UYR End Of Summer Terrace Party - 26th August 2017

So after playing the Soak/Hacienda main event at Church from 1.30am-3.30am, there was a cheeky after party being thrown at HiFi Club in Leeds from 3.30am-7.00am. Myself and my hombre Marshall were given the task of hosting the party from 4.30am-7.00am. This is my set from around 5.30am-7.00am. There's a few dodgy mixes but if anyone had seen the state I was in, I think you would forgive me!! Hope you enjoy as much as I did playing these tunes at the time!! Big love Muzza x

5.30am-7am - Saturday 31st March 2018

Paul Murray recorded live at Soak/Hacienda After Party @ HiFi Club - 01.04.2018

Following a wicked debut set from Freak D were Lee James B2B Garry Dabill for their second set after opening the terrace earlier in the day. They played a perfect mix of new and old records with a few exclusive edits and remixes thrown into the mix! Here it is for your listening pleasure....enjoy! x

Mint Warehouse - Saturday 26th May 2018

Lee James B2B Garry Dabill second set - UpYerRonson Day&Night Terrace Party - 26.05.2018

Following Andy Ward & Neil Metzner onto the decks was another one of our original resident DJs who has been there from the very beginning...he played a set full of fresh tunes and reworks of some old classics...mixed seamlessly in his trademark style! Give it up for Leeds' very own legend....Marshall! x

Saturday 26th May 2018

Marshall live at UpYerRonson Day & Night Terrace Party - 26.05.2018

Following Marshall on the decks and headlining the outdoor terrace was a DJ who was a regular guest at our Friday nights at The Music Factory & The Pleasure Rooms in the early 1990's and was on the line-up at our infamous. record breaking parties at Space, Privilege and Es Paradis in Ibiza....it was his first time playing for us for a good few years but it was like he'd never been away!! Arguably one of the best sets we've had the pleasure of witnessing on the terrace and here is the live recording....Give it up for Nottinghams finest, Mr Allister Whitehead! x
Catch Allister headlining our next party on Saturday 25th August 2018.

Allister Whitehead live at UpYerRonson Day & Night Terrace Party - 26.05.2018

Well if I told you I could remember playing my set I'd be lying! It was a bit of a blur if I'm honest! I think I got swept up in the party and at one point was dancing on the terrace thinking this is ACE then realising I had to go on the decks after Allister Whitehead had just blown the bladdy outdoor terrace (invisible) roof off!! So here you are, my impromptu, unplanned and off the cuff set closing the outdoor terrace before we moved things inside at 11pm! Enjoy....cos I know I did...maybe a bit too much! ha x

Paul Murray live at UpYerRonson Day & Night Terrace Party - 26.05.2018

The honours of closing our marathon 12 hour Day & Night Party were given to the legendary K-Klass who last performed at UpYerRonson way back in 1996! 
Here's the 'live recording' full of forgotten gems and stone cold classics that helped make it one of the most memorable parties we've thrown to date and left the crowd wanting 'one more', to which Russ K-klass duly obliged...and .boy did he deliver!! Enjoy! x

K-Klass(DJ Set) CLOSING MAIN ROOM - 1am-2am live @ UpYerRonson Day & Night Terrace Party - 26.5.2018

After blowing the preverbal roof off of our terrace party in May, it wasn't a hard decision to welcome one of our long standing guest DJs from the early years of UpYerRonson to come back and do it all again....of course he duly obliged and of course he didn't disappoint! So here is the live recording of one of our Ronson family members, Mr Allister Whitehead who played another wicked set full of fresh, new remakes of some old classics mixed together with some exclusives new music! Enjoy x

Allister Whitehead - Terrace Set 7.30pm-8.45pm at UYR Day & Night Terrace Party - 25.08.2018

Making his debut playing on the terrace was UpYerRonson favourite and UK House & Garage legend, Grant Nelson. Grant played for us a few years back inside the main room but we felt his music and style would be more suited for the outdoor terrace. Arguably the best set we've heard out there and without doubt the most requested and anticipated recorded set period! 
Personally I've followed Grant as a producer from the early 90's and my UpYerRonosn sets at The Pleasure Rooms were heavily influenced by his UK house and garage sound with his labels such as Nice 'N' Ripe being a particular favourite. The boy can not only produce dope music that spans across many different genres, he is also one of the best DJs I've had the pleasure of seeing up close and personal. 
He's been in the game over 30 years but you can see from his DJ sets that he still loves what he does and can feel the energy he creates! 

If you were lucky enough to have been at this party to witness him in action, here is the live recording to relive that epic set of Grant Nelson's closing our UpYerRonson Day & Night Terrace Party back on 25th August 2018. If you weren't there....here's what you missed! 

Big love Muzza x

Finally managed to find the missing 'Summer Grooves - Volume 3' mix that I recorded way back in July 2007! Some nice, feel good, funky, chunky house vibes for your listening pleasure! Enjoy x

Paul Murray presents 'Summer Grooves - Volume 3'  - July 2007

Opening up our UpYerRonson Terrace Party at Mint Warehouse back in May 2019 was our longstanding resident DJ Lee James who played the perfect warm up to kick off 12 hours of feel good vibes! So sit back and enjoy the first of our live recordings. x

Lee James live at UYR Terrace Party - Mint Warehouse - 25/05/2019

Next on the decks and making his UpYerRonson debut was East Coast legendary DJ and Promotor Dean Baker. Dean has been on the scene since the early rave days and has put Cleethorpes and the East Coast firmly on the map by booking some of the biggest DJs to come and play for his event Better Days. The likes of Carl Cox, Graeme Park and Grant Nelson have all DJ'd there, including our very own resident DJ Marshall!
Dean played a great set mixing some old classics with more up to date fresh releases and edits. Kick back and get your lugs around this. Enjoy x

Dean Baker live at UYR Terrace Party - Mint Warehouse 25/05/2019

Following Dean Baker onto the decks was another DJ making his long overdue UYR debut....and they don't get much bigger than the legendary New York DJ/Producer and former resident at the infamous Studio 54 club, Mr Lenny Fontana! 
Lenny had to play slightly earlier than planned so wasn't able to experience the outdoor terrace at it's peak! However, his set certainly lit the fuse and took the party to the next level. So sit back or get up and get down to this great selection of gems! Enjoy x

Lenny Fontana live at UYR Terrace Party - Mint Warehouse - 25/05/2019

Following legendary NY DJ/Producer Lenny Fontana onto the decks were our very own Leeds' legends and long standing UYR residents, Andy Ward & Neil Metzner. The pair have been playing for UYR since waaay back in 1992, which means they have insider knowledge of each others styles and musical taste. 

So when they began playing back to back sets a few years ago, although both having different styles, they clicked straight away and bounced off each other to produce some memorable sets that just keep getting better and better!

This set hits the spot again and in my opinion is the best they've played together to date. Enjoy! x

Neil Metzner B2B Andy Ward live at UYR Terrace Party - Mint Warehouse - 25/05/2019

Following the blinding set of our longstanding Rosnon Residents Metzner & Wardy was THE original UpYerRonson, SOAK and KAOS resident DJ and Leeds legend, Marshall. Marshall played an hour of his trademark feel good grooves that sucked you in and took you on a mixing masterclass! Enjoy x

Marshall live at UYR Terrace Party - Mint Warehouse - 25/05/2019

Following Leeds legend Marshall onto the decks was yours truly who....well just came on and gave it my absolute all like I always try and do! I hope you enjoy! x

Paul Murray live at UYR Terrace Party - Mint Warehouse - 25/05/2019

Up next and having the honour of closing the outdoor terrace was Cafe Mambo and Space, Ibiza legend, Jason Bye. Bysie has been playing for UYR since the early 90's and has been welcomed with open arms as one of the family! He also knows how to rock and crowd and doesn't disappoint with this sublime set, packed full of forgotten gems! Enjoy! x

Liam Frisco & Anton Raphael - Part 1 - 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

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!"
