Almost twenty years to the day, we are incredibly excited to present the Federation Twentieth Anniversary party on Saturday 16th April @ Mint Warehouse in Leeds. Since the birth of the night back in April 2002 at Granary Wharf we have criss-crossed the UK and beyond with events in London, Manchester, Gran Canaria, Ibiza, Belfast, Liverpool, London, Newcastle, Nottingham and Blackpool but our spiritual home has always been Leeds so it's only right that we bring the party home for this huge occasion.


If you haven't been to Mint Warehouse since the big refurbishment last year, believe us, you are in for a real treat. The club looks absolutely amazing and by very special arrangement with the venue, they have kindly allowed us to use their outdoor terrace for a daytime party like no other. We kick off from 2pm with the Federation residents and special guests Lovely Laura and Ben Santiago who are flying in, all the way from Ibiza. Laura was a huge part of Federation's sucess in the early years and we can't wait for her to join us with Ben for this special event.
The godfather of percussion, Pav will also be joining us alongside the Federation dancers and entertainers.


From 8pm we move inside to the main club where you will experience the fiercest and most incredible Funktion-One sound system complimented by their amazing LED lighting system. DJ's gracing the decks are Marc Leaf, Tony Walker, Stuart Robinson, SBS (Shaun Banger Scott), Christian Appleby, Gavin Lampitt, Michael Park and Greg Myers.
Don't forget, it's Easter Bank Holiday weekend so there is plenty of time to recover on Sunday and Monday!

Graham Dixon since 1985 has been DJing at house parties and bars where he lived throughout the north of England then by 1988 he was a highly skilled & respected scratcher known for playing everything from hip hop, soul, breaks, early house and so on. Having already established a vinyl collection through his US, Europe & UK contacts, he became a most sought after DJ has his reputation grew which could've quite easily have taken the very reserved Graham to global status especially boasting a best vinyl, most advanced collection, which was by far way ahead of many at the time.

His regular London trips for packaged haul's of advance record orders, paid off, way before the stroke of 1990 had reached us, he was already playing regular club spots at The Leeds Warehouse, Tradeshall, Bradford's Bibbies aka The Capricorn Club & Leeds Twilight Zone a notorious converted Blues.

Then there was Blackburn's Monroes where low & behold all the illegal rave activity shaped itself in the north. Blackburn was an organised central focus to mediate northern areas catering to crews from Manchester, Blackburn & Leeds after club closing time, such as The Hacienda, Leeds Warehouse & Blackburn's Red Parrot plus other firms eventually joined the bond including Huddersfield, Liverpool, Blackpool & Bradford etc all via the renowned convoy system where 100's of cars skilfully avoided the police to prevent them breaking up the monstrous parties ahead.

Part of this organisation was assisted by pirate radio of which Graham was inundated with show's, keeping the organised party clock's ticking away for what storming 24/48 hour outdoor parties lay ahead. Basically cleverly moulding together, numbers in droves of 10 to 30 thousand happy smiles dancing their interactions away at the huge Summer Of Love parties such as Joy, Live The Dream, Sundance, Blast Off, Sunrise, Karma Sutre etc, all once it became UK widespread. 

After all this the house parties/raves were now regulated & no longer illegal, he was offered his own night at Ricky's in Leeds taking over from Sasha every Wednesday leading to more work at another red hot fixture back then, The Gallery with more work in & around Europe.  

Recent years in Leeds have seen him play to constantly sold out shows which he organised, UBER being one while Graham also set his sights on spinning at events pulling the success he always achieved, it actually seemed whatever Graham turned his hand to turned to gold, playing for brands like Kissdafunk, Plastic, The Zoo, Canya and Coastline without forgetting the legendary boat party. Plus for a solid 8 years week in week at Stinky's in Leeds he ran the Back2Mine Sunday daytime terrace shows, consistently playing to sold out audiences.

DJ influences who've guided his diversity flow throughout the years stretch from Cash Money, Jazzy Jeff, Grandmaster Flash, Nightmares On Wax from Leeds, the outstanding UK talents of Sasha & Mike Pickering plus Derrick Carter and Carl Cox have all driven the Graham Dixon talent wagon.

Check out his productions of remixes, mash ups & tracks at uberdifgitalrecordings.

Now he's fully re acquainted his passion for a solid underground classic acid house sound again, Shine offered him The Loft host slots at Leeds Warehouse for the FAC51 Hacienda shows which were taking off in the main room. Since then he's now been asked to fully join the residency outfit with his debut show set to commence 11pm, The Loft at The Warehouse, 13th June 2015 when Shine host the Made In Leeds Festival Afterparty, with Steve Lawler headlining the main room.
