Just come across this on my laptop...it wasn't allowed to be uploaded at the time as an official recording of my set from the Soak & Hacienda party on Saturday 31st March 2018 at The Church in Leeds. So this is the first time it's ever been heard / shared with anyone....I hope it's worth the wait! haha...a rare 2hr long mix that takes you on a journey…let me know what you think in the comments.......

Up next and having the honour of closing the outdoor terrace was Cafe Mambo and Space, Ibiza legend, Jason Bye. Bysie has been playing for UYR since the early 90's and has been welcomed with open arms as one of the family! He also knows how to rock and crowd and doesn't disappoint with this sublime set, packed full of forgotten gems! Enjoy! x

Following legendary NY DJ/Producer Lenny Fontana onto the decks were our very own Leeds' legends and long standing UYR residents, Andy Ward & Neil Metzner. The pair have been playing for UYR since waaay back in 1992, which means they have insider knowledge of each others styles and musical taste. So when they began playing back to back sets a few years ago, although both having different styles, t...

Following Dean Baker onto the decks was another DJ making his long overdue UYR debut....and they don't get much bigger than the legendary New York DJ/Producer and former resident at the infamous Studio 54 club, Mr Lenny Fontana! Lenny had to play slightly earlier than planned so wasn't able to experience the outdoor terrace at it's peak! However, his set certainly lit the fuse and took the party t...

Next on the decks and making his UpYerRonson debut was East Coast legendary DJ and Promotor Dean Baker. Dean has been on the scene since the early rave days and has put Cleethorpes and the East Coast firmly on the map by booking some of the biggest DJs to come and play for his event Better Days. The likes of Carl Cox, Graeme Park and Grant Nelson have all DJ'd there, including our very own residen...

Opening up our UpYerRonson Terrace Party at Mint Warehouse back in May 2019 was our longstanding resident DJ Lee James who played the perfect warm up to kick off 12 hours of feel good vibes! So sit back and enjoy the first of our live recordings. x

Following Allister Whitehead onto the decks for the first of two sets at our Day&Night Terrace Party was our regular guest and legendary New York DJ and Producer, Victor Simonelli! Victor delivered another masterclass of his trademark NY jackin beats and soulful house full of feel good vibes and energy! Take a bow NYs finest! x

Following myself onto the decks to close the terrace was a DJ who has been welcomed into the Ronson family and become a firm favourite. The legendary New York DJ Victor Simonelli. Victor played his trademark vocal US house and putting together a seamless set of new jackin beats and classic house! Unfortunately the recorders batteries died halfway though his 90 minute set which I'm absolutely gutte...

Following my old mate Marshall onto the decks was myself. I decided to play an earlier set instead of my usual slot closing the terrace. I really enjoyed playing this time (8pm-9.30pm)as I felt more relaxed and could soak up the atmosphere and have a boogie on the dance floor when I came off! The sun had gone down and dusk was slowly turning into the night when I hit the decks. There's something r...

Playing next on the outdoor terrace was our very own Leeds legend DJ Marshall. By the time he came on at 8pm, the terrace was packed and the atmosphere was electric! Marsh played a trademark seamless set of forgotten classics, deep US house and new jackin beats thrown in to keep it fresh....enjoy! x

The crowd had just been treated to a trademark party set from Jeremy and the atmosphere from the crowd was electric!! Picking up the reigns from Jeremy Healy were two of the original Ronson resident DJs, Andy Ward & Neil Metzner who treated the crowd to a back to back set of forgotten gems, fresh edits and Ronson classics....enjoy!! x

Following the wicked opening set from our residents Lee James & Garry Dabill was a DJ who used to be a regular guest at UpYerRonson and even hosted the infamous 12 Nights of Summer Party at The Pleasure Rooms in 1996....he was back making his first UYR appearance in over 20 years....the legend that is Jeremy Healy!! Jeremy played the 5pm-6.30pm set on the Terrace so one would think he'd take it ea...

UpYerRonson residents Lee James & Garry Dabill were given the honour of opening our End of Summer Terrace Party at Mint Warehouse and they did not disappoint. The boys played back 2 back for 2 hours and set the tone perfectly for the day and night ahead....this is a masterclass on how warm up DJs create a vibe and fill a dance floor from an empty space at the start of the party to a full dance flo...

Hacienda resident Tom Wainwright recorded live at the Soak & UpYerRonson 'End of Summer Day & Night Party' Saturday 27th August 2016 at Mint Warehouse.

After Victor Simonelli had torn the terrace a new a-hole, it was time for one of our original UpYerRonson guest DJs from back in the day to make his long overdue trip return to his extended family in Leeds, Nick Hussey. Nick has been in this scene longer than most and has not only played all over the world as a DJ, he has produced and remixed some huge artists which has culminated in him getting s...

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...

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...

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

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...

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...

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!! Up...

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...

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 t...
