ORGANISER QUOTES

Ben Thompson
“Leeds has a multitude of outstanding venues and a thriving electronic music scene with rich history, having lived in the city for 6 years now I’m still finding things I hadn’t yet come across. We wanted to create something that could showcase both the amazing arts and event spaces on offer in the city, as well as the people who in habit them, the idea was to create something based on collaboration that could project the cities scene and help it develop further.

Ralph Lawson (2020 Vision)
“I’ve watched our city and scene develop over 30 years and I’m really proud of where we are now. There are world-class clubs, art spaces, restaurants and bars and anyone who comes to visit has a great time. Leeds is the UK’s best-kept secret. The scene here has helped kick start the careers of several international artists such as LFO, Nightmares on Wax, Iration Steppas, Ben UFO & Hessle Audio, Midland, Paul Woolford and many others.”

Clubbers nationwide the moment has arrived for the global progressive house and trance music scene to be reset back to zero, where gimmicks become invisible to the vision and the music becomes central to that communal journey. 

Sometimes in order to progress forwards you must first go back and revisit the the roots of a scene, to learn the secrets of potential long term success whilst continuing unequivocally to support those rising to the top!

Which is why now that our moment has once again come back around, we feel that its particularly important that we all join together to re-quaint ourselves firmly with the unique feel of the underground scene and all those quality artists worldwide that exist from the deep house, progressive, proglifting, through to the pure trance realms but aren't always visible here on our shores. 

The first wave will essentially aim to showcase a wonderful fusion of the very best of the underground with some of the best overground artists that push the musical envelop of tomorrow's sound today, without boundaries and without walls! A genuine coming together of like minds where everyone unites under one umbrella, in the best ethos of the music we all love. 

So It's time to re-imagine, to re-awaken and to re-connect as one, so join us and witness the rapture like never before!
