Over the years, Dirty Disco has roamed from legendary venues like MiNT Club to disused car garages in the red light district.
Out of action for a year, finally organisers are ready to reveal details of their much anticipated 15th birthday party.
Promising a 12 hour non-stop summer special, it'll roll into the newly-refurbished MINT Warehouse on Saturday 21st August, taking over three rooms with house and techno vibes from friends old and new.
With big hitting favorites like Shonky, Bushwacka!, Robert James, Greg Lord already confirmed, plus some surprise headliners still in their back pocket.
They'll be joined by local selectors doing back-to-back sets, like Annie Errez B2b Reeshy, Ste Roberts B2b Nadsat, Matt Long B2b2 Gav Paul.
Dirty Disco has always had a proudly independent spirit and unwavering devotion to anarchistic fun and a soundtrack provided by a mix of cutting-edge new acts and enduring pioneers.
For all these reasons it holds a special place in the hearts of many clubbers from Leeds, the North and beyond, and no doubt shaped the city's underground scene over the past 15 years - as well as many lifelong clubbing friendships.
The memories, the madness and the music will all be in hot supply, and the venue is suitably special. MiNT Warehouse has been refitted recently and now boasts a new, bespoke Funktion One Evo 7 sound system.
Musically all bases are covered. There will be a Dirty Disco debut for tech house titan Bushwacka!, whose live streams in lockdown have been incredible, as well as a first set for Apollonia man and French house hero Shonky at MiNT since its refurb.
Add in WHP resident Greg Lord, all in the original Dirty Disco residents and some very special friends from over the years and you have a sure-fire recipe for a historic birthday get down.
