up your ronson

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

Coming back back on after rocking the place earlier with his trademark deep beats and vocal house was Up Yer Ronson stalwart and Leeds legend Marshall who played from 3am-3.30am and got the place in the groove with some wicked House music…enjoy x

Set 7 - Marshall-live mix-3am-3.30am Up Yer Ronson at The Fav, Leeds - Friday 22nd August 2014

On 27th December 2015, Up Yer Ronson returned to their spiritual home at The Pleasure Rooms, Leeds for a one off 'Homecoming Party'...it was one of the best parties we have put on and SOLD OUT with weeks still to go. The venue is now called Bar Soba but as soon as you walked through those doors you knew you were back at the place we arguably had our best years from 1994-1996. We installed a Funktion One sound system, had a custom made DJ booth, raised high above the dance floor, just like the one we played in 21 years ago!! The atmosphere was next level and the added nostalgia of being back in our old stomping ground topped it off! This picture was taken at the end of the night when the lights had been switched back on. It sums up the night perfectly....everyone smiling, hugging each other and looking up to the DJ's in the box above chanting 'one more...one more' It was a moment we will cherish forever and one you can now relive as we release the live recordings from both the upstairs sets in the main room and sets downstairs on the ground floor...both rooms were packed and going off from the start. Following Neil Metzner's seamless vinyl set was the man who made this room his own back in the day...this was Marshall's floor and seeing him stood up in the DJ booth some 21 years after he last played there was a proper surreal moment. He rolled back the years with a sublime set of Ronson classics and more recent tracks that had the place rocking from start to finish....enjoy! x

We will be doing it all again on 28th May when we recreate the infamous Space Terrace at Mint Warehouse. Check the event page for more details: www.facebook.com/events/168000040241131/

Set 3 - Main Room 12am-1am / Marshall - Up Yer Ronson 'Homecoming Party' 27th Dec 2015

Not only did we have the main room upstairs, we also had the ground floor downstairs. We used the same entrance from the Grand Arcade as we did all those years ago and although the building that housed the old Pleasure Rooms was a bit smaller now due to some of it being sold off to other shops and buisnesses, you still felt you had stepped back in time to a crazy Friday night some 21 years ago. 

Following on from Lee James' wicked set was myself & Andy Ward. The initial plan was to play an hour downstairs from 2am-3am 'just for old times sake' as that floor was OUR FLOOR where we played a solid 6 hours every Friday night without the need for guest DJs. I recall one night we were playing to a packed floor and was told we had to close because a certain 'big name' DJ was upstairs playing to an empty room. My reply was full of expletives but it went along the lines of 'he's getting paid 10 times what we get paid so he should be good enough to keep the crowd on his dance floor'...no such dramas this time around though...apart from I did my usual trick of putting a few records on and then going for a wander and forgetting to come back haha...here's me and Wardy doing what we use to do best...rock a party! Enjoy x

2am-4am Downstairs / Andy Ward & Paul Murray Bk2Bk - Up Yer Ronson 'Homecoming Party' 27th Dec 2015

This is the final recording from upstairs...I had come just come off the decks after playing 1am-2am and the plan was for me and Andy Ward to play an hour set downstairs 'for old times sake', as it was the floor we both made our own back when we held our UYR parties there. We started playing back to back and enjoyed it so much we ended up staying on 'til 4am. Which meant upstairs was left in the capable hands of Marshall & Neil Metzner playing back to back for 2 hours from 2am-4am. Marsh said afterwards that it felt so surreal being back up in the DJ box that he played in every Friday night, warming up for some of the biggest DJ names in clubland. But this night was all about the residents and I'm sure you'll agree, they all played unbelievable sets that made it feel like you had gone back in time 21 years to one of the best nights and venues in the country...UpYerRonson every Friday at The Pleasure Rooms, Leeds!! So hit play and check this mix out by two of the finest resident DJs Leeds has ever produced...enjoy! x

Set 5 - Main Room 2am-4am / Marshall & Neil Metzner Bck2Bck - UYR 'Homecoming Party' 27th Dec 2015

Following Brandon Block & Alex P is never going to be an easy job as they are THE best party DJ's and can get any dance floor rocking...and they did not fail to deliver. But UpYerRonson resident and Leeds legend Marshall wasn't fazed by the challenge....he jumped on a produced a masterclass with a trademark seamless mix of new house release put together effortlessly alongside some of the best underground house records of the 90's. So kick back and let him take you on a musical journey the way only he can do....give it up for our very own Marshall...x

We will be doing it all 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:

Marshall - Live Mix @ UYR Ibiza Reunion Terrace Party - Saturday 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 @ The Mint Warehouse - Leeds - 27.08.2016

Here you go then peeps....the live recording from upstairs at the UpYerRonson Homecoming Party at The Pleasure Rooms (now Bar Soba), Leeds on Boxing Day 2016. It was another unforgettable night that was made that extra bit special due to the fact we held our residency at the same venue some 23 years earlier from 1994-1996. 

Opening up the party at 10pm-12am were our longstanding resident DJs Andy Ward & Neil Metzner who have been with us from the very beginning....they never fail to get the party rocking and set the tone perfectly with a seamless mix of forgotten dubs and rare house grooves to welcome the crowd to the iconic upstairs room at the former Pleasure Rooms Club. 

So sit back, crank it up and relive some of the best times of our lives....and for those too young to remember the first time around, this is a taste of how we did things nearly 25 years ago!! WOW! x

Set 1 - Andy Ward & Neil Metzner B2B - UYR Homecoming Party - 26th December 2016

Taking the baton on from Andy Ward & Neil Metzner's wicked opening set was one of Leeds' original house DJ's and someone I looked up to when I was starting out as a DJ. His trademark smooth mixing and deep, vocal house sets stood him out from the rest and I'm proud to now call him one of my best mates....so sit back, turn this up loud and let one of the true house legends of the Leeds club scene take you on a musical journey of new and old classic house cuts....this is DJ Marshall! x

Marshall

Set 2 - Marshall - UYR Homecoming Party - 26th December 2016

As well as promoting the UpYerRonson parties, I also do a bit of DJ'ing in case you didn't know!! So when Marshall had finished playing a sublime and seamless set of deep house gems to get the dance floor packed and locked in the groove, he handed over the baton to me to continue the job he had started. 

I always and I mean ALWAYS stress out so much in the build up to my nights because I want them to be perfect in every way!! I'm so wrapped up in promoting that I don't get time to think about what I'm going to play...that sometimes happens right up until the moment I'm due to go on and play, and this was one of those times....!! So here is my unplanned, off the cuff set that got the crowd moving and groovin'...enjoy! x

Paul Murray

Set 3 - Paul Murray - UYR Homecoming Party - 26th December 2016

Closing the iconic upstairs room at The Pleasure Rooms were our long standing resident DJ's Marshall & Neil Metzner who played a sublime Back2Back set featuring some all time UpYerRonson classics...!! I was playing the last few hours downstairs to didn't catch their set but heard they smashed it!! And if you listen to the live recording here, I think you will agree that the boys did just that!! 

UpYerRonson is back on Saturday 27th May with our infamous Day & Night Terrace Party at Mint Warehouse which kicks off at 4pm outside on the terrace and finishes at 3am inside the main club. We've pulled out all the stops for this party with some of house music's originators...(check the event link below for full line-up and where you can purchase tickets). Big love Muzza Xxx

Here's the live recording from 2 of our resident DJs, Lee James & Garry Dabill who went Back2Back for over 3 hours, playing in the downstairs room at our UpYerRonson Homecoming Party at The Pleasure Rooms, Leeds on Boxing Day 2016. The boys know how to rock a party and this mix is testament to that!! SO kick back and turn it up...you're gonna be taken on a journey of Ronson classics with a few new edits and releases to keep it fresh! Enjoy x

Lee James B2B Garry Dabill - UYR Homecoming Boxing Day 2016 at The Pleasure Rooms

Budding DJs take note....this is how DJs used to open up a night, building from scratch and creating a vibe...not like many DJs of today who play the big tunes because they want all the glory and accollades....even at 9pm when the club is empty! haha

Opening up the outdoor terrace were our longstanding UpYerRonson resident DJs Andy Ward & Neil Metzner who went back2back from 4pm-6.30pm and set the tone with a sublime mix of chunky, US driven house. They dug deep to play forgotten gems, alongside some fresh, new releases, edits and remixes!! 

So sit back and let them take you on a musical journey....you're gonna enjoy this!! xx

Andy Ward B2B Neil Metzner - UpYerRonson Terrace Party - 27th May 2017

Following Andy Ward & Neil Metzner's wicked opening set was another one of our original UpYerRonson resident DJs and Leeds' legend, Marshall! He played a 90 minute mix of Ronson classics and fresh tunes that were put together in his trademark seamless style....so grab a beer and turn this up LOUD!! This is Marshall at his best....enjoy! x

Marshall - UpYerRonson Terrace Party - 27th May 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

OITS

04.02.1995 - Marshall

So here's the final set from arguably the best Terrace Party yet. Every single set was on point and the energy and vibe from the crowd was next level. I've said it before and I'll say it again, the UpYerRonson crowd is truly unique....everyone is there for the right reasons. There's no pretence, no VIP bollocks, no attitude...just happy, smily faces who unite as one big family....the Ronson Family! So here's your Dad finishing off proceedings on La Terraza....all unplanned, off the cuff shizzle that was created by feeding off the vibe of the crowd! Enjoy x

We will be doing it all again on Saturday 26th August at Mint Warehouse from 2pm-2am. Check my FB page for details of where you can grab a ticket or message me on here...big love Muzza xx
