Saturday’s launch party went off – like a cross between a regional radio road show and a carnival sound clash, indoors.
The rules were simple – each DJ (almost 20 of them) could only play records recorded or remixed in South Yorkshire, or records by artists from or synonymous with South Yorkshire. As you might imagine a whole bunch of smashers and unreleased gems were spun throughout the night. Special thanks to everyone who showed up and to Bungalows & Bears for hosting the event. Extra special thanks to Asbo A GoGo, Benjamin Hatton, Catherine Verna Bentley, Hiem, I Monster, Lex Records, Ian Anderson, Rob Gordon, Ross Orton, Seal Club and Bloody-L Mariachi for digging in the crates and pulling out the bangers.
Track of the night goes to Benjamin for droppin’ 2 copies of Woman To Woman by Joe Cocker. Hold tight for the mix tape, it’s on it’s way…
