Wayne Houghton (Good2Groove) – A Master of Disco & House

With over 25 years in the game, Wayne Houghton—better known as Good2Groove—is a powerhouse DJ from Halifax whose passion for disco and house music runs deep. His journey, which began in the mid-90s, has seen him share the decks with some of the biggest names in the industry, including Joey Negro, E Smoove, Graeme Park, CJ Mackintosh, Groove Assassin, Ron Basejam, Victor Simonelli, Inland Knights, Saison, Ron Carroll, Terry Farley, Lenny Fontana, Bobby & Steve, Dennis Ferrer, Lisa Loud, Danny Rampling and Richard Earnshaw, to name just a few.

A Pioneer in the Scene

Wayne’s love for soulful, deep groove sounds led him to co-found the Sneaky Disco podcast, a platform that has exploded in popularity, racking up over 500,000 plays and earning the respect of heavyweight DJs and producers worldwide.

Not content with just curating sounds online, he took things to the dancefloor by co-founding The Get Up, a highly acclaimed house music night that has become a staple in Sowerby Bridge and recently expanded to Dean Clough. Known for its electric atmosphere and top-tier music selection, The Get Up has firmly established itself as one of Yorkshire’s go-to house music events.

Re-Groove – Pushing the Scene Forward

Wayne’s latest venture, Re-Groove, is rapidly making waves. Built on a foundation of quality house music, the event not only showcases international talent but also strongly supports local DJs and up-and-coming artists, proving Wayne’s dedication to growing the scene from the ground up.

A DJ That Delivers

Whether he’s setting the mood with deep house warm-ups or taking the crowd on a journey through soulful and disco-infused sets, Good2Groove always delivers. His ability to read the room, craft unforgettable musical experiences, and keep dancefloors moving has made him one of the most respected names in the house music scene.

And with his ever-growing influence, Wayne Houghton isn’t just playing music—he’s shaping the future of house and disco.

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!"

Garage Classics has been set up to let you acquire those 'hard to find' classic garage tracks. We will be uploading Classic Garage tracks on a weekly basis, giving away free downloads and mixes each week.

Feel free to contact us if you are after a GARAGE track and cant find it anywhere, we will do our best to track it down and upload for you.

All tracks are ripped from the original vinyl's so you may hear some cracks and pops in some really old tracks, but all have been re-mastered, and we have tried to get them to the best standard possible.

Tracks that were released on labels that are still in function wont be downloadable, and if you are an artist, and we have uploaded your track please contact us should you want it removed and we will do so immediately.

This page is here so we can enjoy (and not forget) some old GARAGE CLASSICS! We do not intend to cause offence or loss of earnings for artists.

We will not be using a 'follow to download' gate, no catch, no gimmick, just classic garage sounds. If you do like what we post, please show appreciation by following, but you will not be forced into it! We want this page to be as organic as possible.

Thanks for visiting

This is the Dimitri From Paris official Soundcloud page. The purpose of this page is to act as a showreel for my skill as an artist, producer, remixer or editor.

SHINE - demonstrates it's passion for line ups made up of DJ producers, staying strong since the mid eighties at The  Warehouse Leeds & Tapestry Bradford. More venues in the post. Underground Classic House is how Shine shines.

SOUND EVENTS - are an indie alternative brand presenting the brilliance of live music with DJ's catering to a laid back audience not in the mood for house music. Also in the very near future some news will out about their anticipated Festival launch, which should see you through into the next few years & an hopeful half decade.  

FEELING - are mainly providing brilliantly styled DJ's with music knowledge fully abled to pull off electronic disco sets whilst tuned in alongside clued up upfront deep house DJ's or the rather mature alternative indie meets soul selection. These shows will take place at Keighley Vic Hall afterparties or at the more refined Wire in Leeds where the music policy & theme isn't quite as relaxed, so watch out for them Leeds nights to kick off in 2024.

Also Balearic & chillout eclectic sounds will be dished up at an undisclosed location under the Feeling umbrella too, this will come in the shape of a marquee at a festival, currently in the near future post, announcement soon. 

Basically in a nutshell, DJ's performing for Feeling are highly skilled, wide in knowledge & their delivery is second to none but overall these DJ's will tick the box of many genres, if they have it, they get a look in, it's all about their vibe & theme Feeling are feeling. So essentially they'll be many Feeling events bringing you a diversity from across the board it will all depend on how the brand are feeling at the time.
