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 W...

Here's the live recording of my set at the recent Hard Times Pre-Party at 53 Degrees North, Leeds on Saturday 4th February 2017. I played from 7pm-11pm and this is the last 3 hours or so packed with a sprinkling of 90's house bombs alongside some newer bits. Hope you dig...! x

Closing the terrace and handing over the reigns to the Soak DJs to continue the party in the main room was yours truly. This set was purely off the cuff which you can probably tell as some of the mixes are a bit rough around the edges as opposed to a pre-rehearsed, key perfect DJ set that's been practiced so many times the DJ is just going through the motions playing it, which is something I've ne...

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...

Here is the live recording from our Soak & UpYerRonson 'End of Summer Day & Night Party' we threw at The Mint Warehouse on Saturday 27th August 2017. UpYerRonson hosted the outdoor terrace from 3pm-10pm then handed over the reigns to SOAK who hosted the main room inside the venue from 10pm-4am. The is the opening set on the outdoor terrace from 3pm-5.30pm by UpYerRonson's long standing resident DJ...

By the time yours truly took to the decks at 9.30pm to play the closing set on the terrace, the place was absolutely going off! Jason Bye had just torn the place a new a-hole and what I said on the mic was exactly what I was thinking in my head....how the f*ck do you follow THAT!!! haha It's useless trying to prepare yourself and sort a set out because one of the disadvantages of going on last is...

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 Te...

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 unde...

Following on from the wicked opening set by the UpYerRonson resident DJs Andy Ward & Neil Metzner, we had two of the original resident DJs from Space, Ibiza...Brandon Block & Alex P who really got the terrace rocking with a sublime mix of new and old classic! Enjoy 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...

This is how it went down when Up Yer Ronson took over the Mint Warehouse in Leeds and threw an 'Ibiza Reunion All Day & All Night Terrace Party'. To truly capture the Ibiza vibe, you need to have an outdoor terrace! So we set about recreating the most famous Ibiza terrace of them all...Space Terrace (pre-roof). Then we installed a Funktion One sound system and decked it out with camo netting. The...

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 c...

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. Fo...

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 Funkti...

Was diggin' through some of my favourite tracks I used to play at Up Yer Ronson the other day and hit record whilst having a lil jam at home...all off the cuff with no pre-planned set in mind or any rehearsed mixes...I wasn't going to release it as it's not a polished mix but I kinda like that as it adds to the authenticity of it...especially now we live in the days of sync buttons and beat / key...

Here's a lil mix I did a few months back giving you a snapshot of the vibe I play at my residency at a cool lil bar in a converted mill in Halifax called - 53 Degrees North...if you dig then feel free to leave a comment and share! Enjoy x

Here's a mix I found on my hard drive that I recorded for Galaxy 105 waaaay back in 1997 some 18 years ago!! To be fair, with the resurgence of the House & Garage sound from the 90's making a come back through the likes of Disclosure and Second City, some of the tracks on this mix wouldn't sound out of place dropped in my sets now. Have a listen and leave a comment if you dig! x The mix was record...

So the final set of the night was left up to yours truly and with it proper going off in The Faversham it was a good time to play a few stone cold Ronson classics for the last half an hour of the night...I had a big smile on my face all the way through. Big ups to every single one of the crowd who came and partied and made it such a special night. Every single DJ played an absolute blinder of a se...

Coming on after the amazing vinyl only set from Neil Metzner was one of my favourite DJ's, Marshall who gave the crowd a masterclass in mixing of his house sound...sit back and enjoy one of the best DJ's to come out of Leeds.... enjoy! x Watch out for our next party on Saturday 29th August at the Mint Warehouse, Leeds when we will be recreating the famous Space Ibiza terrace by throwing an all day...

Back on for his 2nd set of the night was Neil Metzner who continued where he left off from his first set with some seamless mixing on his original vinyl records using Technics 1210's....this was only his 2nd gig to a crowd like this in over 15 years (the first being our Ronson party in August 2014) and it was like he'd never been away...check this out! x Watch out for our next party on Saturday 29...

So after all 4 DJ's had played absolute blinding sets, we decided to all play another 30 minutes each for the last 2 hours of the night. By this point the crowd were proper going for it on the dance floor so it was time to bring out the bangers and give em it for the last few hours....following myself on the decks was my old Pleasure Rooms DJ partner Andy Ward who went straight in dropping an abso...

Following on from the wicked set Marshall played was always going to be a big ask and when you go on after all 3 of the UYR DJ's who all rocked the place the pressure was on to deliver. The Faversham was absolutely jumping by the time I took to the decks so it was just a case of keeping the vibe alive...they were still dancing by the time I came off so I did alright haha....hope you enjoy cos it w...
