In Photos: Deathray Leeds, 1st May
New season, new venue. The kids are all dressed in summer gear, the barbeque is on, the music is trippin. It was a techno all dayer. I think the Deathray crew has found probably the best secret venue in Leeds. Once again Adam Taylor’s set got me movin like nothin else. Hard, pounding and progressive,...
Deathray Leeds @ DFusion 18th March
Friday was a funny night for me, and not in a HAHA kind of way. Nearly got into a fight with an absolute dickhead in a Chinese restaurant before I was due to be the photographer for Deathray on the same night. It wasn’t the way to start your friday night out. Turning up at...
In Photos: Deathray Leeds, End of An Era, 18th feb
The end of an era, done in style. After last friday, Leeds finest techno house night, Deathray, will no longer be doing nights at the Common Place. The crew made sure this last party was one to fucking remember. DJs doing relentless sets to a heaving, techno hungry crowd. This was a special goodbye. Aint...
In Photos: Deathray Leeds 21st January 2011
I waited for fucking weeks for this night and when it finally arrived I NEARLY didn’t went. But I did in the end and stayed till it was almost closing time – that was how good it was. Deathray bills itself to be a Leeds underground house / techno night – too right it was!...
In Photos: ACTION BEAT, 2nd Dec, LEEDS
BEST GIG ever. I braved freezing winds, icy roads and snow to get to this gig. You just CANNOT say no to the prospect of seeing an insane noise band with 4 fucking drummers, live. You just cant. Another quality gig by British Wildlife and another reason why I love this (what those cunts at...

Fear And Loathing in British Wildlife, Drag & Drop, Leeds 20th Nov
Nothing sorts your head out better than an egg Mcmuffin from Mcdonalds. I was such a dick last night, dropped my camera and got too munted by the time the last band got on. British Wildlife did another one of their signature epic gigs, this one was called Fear & Loathing in British Wildlife and...
In Photos: MIDNIGHT JUGGERNAUTS, 9th Nov @ Nation of Shopkeepers, Leeds
The experience of seeing Midnight Juggernauts last Tuesday at my local, to me, is akin to seeing LCD Soundsystem at Tesco – the event was advertised as an intimate gig, fair enough, but I cannot help feeling that they are better suited in a bigger venue, like the Roundhouse in Camden or something. That said,...
IN PHOTOS: MEN + Cissy + Pifco @ Brudenell Social Club, 3rd Nov, Leeds
Went to see MEN perform at The Brude last Wednesday. It was right after work, so I wasn’t feeling my best. But that all soon changed after people started streamin’ in – it wasn’t as busy as I would have expected, but we all thought it was better that way coz we got to be...
Bad Nights: GROPETOWN + Los + Executive Legs 23rd Oct, Leeds
Last week on Saturday, I did a gig at Mook in Leeds. Essentially, it’s BAD NIGHTS Part II. It was a mad night – made even more awesome by 4 insane bands, 3 of which had totally powerful, mindblowing female lead singers. I have to thank EVERYONE that came, all you folks who played, came...
Paper Scissor Stone Leeds, 21st Oct, A/W ’10 Fashion Show
Last week has been absolutely hectic. I was invited to the Paper Scissor Stone‘s A/W ’10 fashion show and turned up half an hour early – unintentionally. Anyway, we went in, my friend and I, nursing our free drinks and got super excited on what’s to come. The lights dimmed, the music began and the...
In Photos: Modulate Leeds, 19th Oct, Wire Club
After spending 7 hours dj-ing for the launch party at Bird’s Yard, my attendance at Modulate looked like it was gonna be short. I was fucking wiped out by the end of the session. The music at Modulate though, kept me goin. Residents Jamie Grind and Louis Saville opened the night, Hackman‘s set was seriously...
