About Me

Alternative/Electro/Indie Club Dj and Promoter, Leeds, UKCurrently working at/promotingThursdays - Gigantic, pushing club boundaries with a dark mix our favourite new alternative electro and guitar tunes at The Subculture, Leeds - Gave me my name and is the best night out in Leeds especially since it's now back in its rightful home. Fridays - The Session, a weekend indie/alt night with my own twist, at the Cockpit, Leeds - a centre point of the Leeds scene. Saturdays - The Garage, the back room at this rock/alt institution playing classic alternative tunes and alt.electro in the back room at the Cockpit, Leeds. Occasional Sundays (Twice a Year) at the Cockpit - Hallelujah, an original recreaction of the Baggy Experience, mixed up dance indie from the madchester dancefloor. Now fifteen odd years old and shamelessly retro.In the past you might know me fromTown & Country Club - Head Dj 1995-2000 - mainly playing britpop in the upstairs bar (but also Sorted in the main hall 1998-2000).Smile/State of the Nation/Atomic - In the old Harvey at the University, indie mayhem with Mr Manu.Artificial Life (original version) - 1993-1995 new romantic and 80's electronica for post-goth kids.I'm also an event manager and work a various festivals etc... mainly doing meanigless repetitive tasks or "dealing" with the public.But apart from all of that I can be found hanging about in Leeds as I have been doing for the last 15 years or so. Most likely to be seen in Jumbo or the Packhorse.Check Out www.giganticleeds.co.uk
