Xmas Party at Detached – Saturday 19th December 2009

Mon, 14 Dec 2009 14:04:24 +0000

Follow Detached on Facebook

Thanks to all of you who’ve supported us throughout the year, it’s been a great one!

This will be our final party of 2009 so what better way to end than with a headline slot from one of our favourite djs of all time – . James has also had a great year, following his album release for Tresor last year he’s recently relaunched his pioneering techno label Blueprint which has so far seen a re-issue of the classic Steve Rachmad remix of “Work” + new tracks and remixes from James himself, Downwards & Sandwell legend Regis (as OVR) and the last release featured a stunning Planetary Assault Systems remix. This month sees a new release from Paul Mac under the guise ‘Valmay’ and all available Blueprint releases are available from the shop, check ‘em out when you order your tickets.

Headline support comes from Kalamazoo techno don Fanon Flowers who’s just relaunched his own legendary label – Mechanisms Industries – with the first 12″ being a remix package of one of the 90s biggest minimal techno tracks (heavily played by mills, surgeon et al) – Obscurum’s Dom. Check it here: http://www.ds2shop.co.uk/techno/M1989.html

more info on Fanon’s history here: http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?topic=10808&uid=7651040411

CROOKERS
Crookers are dj Phra and Bot; two dj’s/producers who met in 2003 and soon got to work together as they had the same tastes and a similar musical background.

Both have been producing and djing on their own before creating the Crookers team: Bot was introduced to music learning to play instruments like piano and guitar and then moved to synths, turntables and sequencers while Phra started djing at the early age of 11 and then was introduced to the italian Hip Hop scene as an Mc.

All these influences are mixed up in their sets with the special add of their sounds done with the legendary MPC sampler. Their remix of Kid Cudi’s Day’N'Nite entered the UK singles chart at number 2 and is featured on the game Midnight Club: Los Angeles. After having released two EPs earlier in 2008 (“Knobbers” and “Mad Kidz”, both exclusively containing original tracks), they are currently working on their first album, which is due for late 2009, just before their Leeds debut for CREAM @ GATECCRASHER 7

LAIDBACK LUKE
Since landing a new entry – 46 – in DJ magazine’s Top 100 DJs Poll of 2008, it’s clear that Holland’s homeboy is on fire like never before. It’s why he was selected to ignite the Stealth Live! CD series with a near perfect club mix. Why he was snapped up for a weekly Friday show by French station Radio FG. Why his own party, Super You&Me, is such a winner. Why he is bustin’ up bassbins from Australia to the Americas – and ripping up a storm working with everyone from Diplo to Tiësto.

2009 is Luke’s craziest year yet. His collaboration with the Swedish House Mafia, ‘Leave The World Behind’, was an Essential New Tune on Pete Tong’s Miami show – and, as of July 2009, is Beatport’s best-selling track of the year.Yes, Luke’s stratospheric success befits his world-beating talents and is reaching new levels of hotness in 2009! Luke returns to Victoria Works for another night of mayhem, after smashing the place up in April!

BART B MORE
After the massive international support on “So It Goes” and Bart’s “Freak” remix for Sandy Rivera (both crowned “Essential New Tune” by Pete Tong!) the buzz seems to be growing by the minute! And everywhere his name shows up, dancefloor dopeness is guaranteed.

Combining his love for beat-driven, looped techno music with big room house and electro Bart has been able to create a refreshing new cross-over sound. Delivering (Dutch) dopeness to dancefloors from Miami to Paris, Middlesborough to Prague and Sydney to Amsterdam.

Bart completes our trio of outstanding headliners who all definately know how to win a crowd over and will be doing just that for this special event…

Local Christmas: Handmade Fair @ Holbeck Urban Village 12 December 2009

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 10:01:31 +0000

Holbeck Urban Village: Handmade Christmas Fair

On 12 December 2009, Holbeck Urban Village is host to a unique Christmas Fair.

Celebrate the festive season and enjoy an alternative day of Christmas shopping by heading to Holbeck Urban Village on Saturday 12 December 2009, where local businesses will be selling everything from pickles and jams to artwork and jewellery for great unconventional gifts.

Take time browsing for the perfect pressie, meet the people who have handmade special festive goodies and treats and grab some mulled wine or cider from the local hostelries on a fun, relaxed day of festiveness – all only 10 minutes walk away from the frenzy of Leeds city centre.

Leeds Vintage Fairs will be welcoming shoppers to the listed Green Sand Foundry for an inspiring new 100% Handmade fair promoting local designers and artists who will showcase and sell their work which includes bespoke jewellery, artwork and objects for the home and beautiful items to wear.

Next door The Midnight Bell will be roasting chestnuts and serving warm cider from their outdoor bar while entertaining visitors with a grotto, a reindeer hunt and traditional fairground games, perfectly located next to the recently revamped ‘Wonderwood’ urban green space.

In a neighbouring courtyard The Cross Keys is holding its annual seasonal fair with a range of stalls from local independent businesses and regional food and drink suppliers. Visitors can pick up a Yorkshire Christmas tree, foodie stocking fillers from organic cafe Out of the Woods or sample some festive beers served up from The Cross Keys’ very own converted 1950s ice cream van, Mr Frothy.

The area of Holbeck Urban Village is buzzing with independently owned and run cafes, restaurants and pubs. Local residents and businesses are proud to be located in what is the home to the digital and creative industries in Leeds and the Handmade Christmas Fair is a chance for those unfamiliar with the area to come along and enjoy this historic but cutting-edge area of Leeds. Events continue into the evening so visitors can have a pub lunch or coffee in one of the local eateries and enjoy jazz at The Engine House cafe or dinner at The Foundry wine bar.

Find a Christmas Bargain: Affordable Christmas Fair 6 December 2009

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 10:25:42 +0000

The Affordable Vintage Fair: Just In Time for Christmas!

On Sunday 6th December 2009, Stylus at Leeds University Student Union presents The Affordable Vintage Fair, running all day from 11.00am to 5.00pm for you to pick out a bargain in time for the Festive Season.

Find Something Unique for Christmas at The Affordable Vintage Fair

Heralded as a ‘shopping phenomenon’ by the national press, The Affordable Vintage Fair holds the crown as the largest and longest running vintage shopping event in the UK. On Sunday December 6th the event is set to make a glorious return to Leeds at Stylus in Leeds University Students’ Union.

With over 40 specialists of the best vintage retailers and traders from around the UK selling an eclectic mix of vintage clothing and accessories, this event will be the perfect shopping destination for those looking to find unusual Christmas presents or party wear that you would not find on the High Street.

Huge Discounts Under One Roof

The Affordable Vintage Fair provides a creative alternative in the countdown to Christmas, offering a great diversity of items all under one roof. All stalls are price checked to reflect huge discounts, on average 40% lower than vintage available on the High Street, so it’s a fantastic place to find inexpensive gifts without sacrificing on quality. Local vintage shops Up Staged and Purple Haze will be joining the fair offering customers the chance to purchase their new season stock with discounts and special offers.

Aside from vintage clothing from the 1920s – 1980s, shoppers can also find re-worked and handmade clothes and jewellery, crafts, homewares, sale rails from vintage dealers, wholesalers, local shops and up and coming designers.

The Affordable Vintage Fair already holds regular events all across 15 UK cities including London, Liverpool, Leeds, Newcastle, Nottingham and Sheffield. Its soaring popularity with eagle-eyed vintage enthusiasts has seen the number of visitors rise up to over 1000 at many venues, and it has became a firm favourite with the media featuring in major titles such as Vogue, Grazia, and Marie Claire.

Former Selfridges’ stylist and vintage fashion expert Judy Berger is the founder of the event, and says: “Over the last two years we’ve seen a huge increase in people coming to our events. The credit crunch has made people more selective and scrupulous about what they buy. But whilst high street shops offer competitive prices they don’t always offer that uniqueness and stand out item that make people feel special and unique.”

Visitors to the fair can not only expect to find a large selection of quality vintage items at extremely affordable prices but also can revel in the other elements on offer.

The Affordable Vintage Fair is an unmissable experience, not only for vintage enthusiasts but for those looking for a genuinely distinctive gift for Christmas.

Details:

Entry to The Affordable Vintage Fair is £2 per person, which is, you know, Affordable!

Date: Sunday 6th December 2009
Time: 11.00am – 5.00pm
Venue: Stylus, Leeds University Student Union, Lifton Place

The King and I come to Leeds from 17 November 2009

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 09:38:14 +0000

The King and I: from Siam to Leeds Grand Theatre!

The Grand Theatre Leeds is hosting a production of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s classic musical The King and I, performed by the Leeds Amateur Operatic Society (LAOS).

The performance will run from Tuesday 17th November to Saturday 21st November 2009, showing at 7.15pm each evening with a matinee on the Saturday at 2.15pm.

Previously the musical theatre company LAOS has performed musicals such as Oliver!, Ragtime and Hello Dolly, and this will be the 102nd show that they have brought to The Grand Theatre.

The Rodgers and Hammerstein family musical is based on the book Anna and the King of Siam, by Margaret Langdon, and first opened on Broadway in 1951. The enchanting story follows Anna Leonowens and her son Louis as they travel to Siam, following the death of her husband, to take up the post of governess to the King’s many children.

Famously brought to the screen in 1956 starring Deborah Kerr as Anna and Yul Brynner as the King, The King and I features many well-known songs such as “Getting to Know You”, “Whistle a Happy Tune”, “Shall We Dance?”, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera!

LAOS are returning to the Grand Theatre Leeds from their succesful stint at the West Yorkshire Playhouse, where they performed The Producers, described by The Evening Post as “a golden nugget of musical theatre”.

The King and I by LAOS is sure to be another fantastic family show.

Ticket Prices for The King and I range from £11 – £27.50

Christmas Fairs and Markets in Leeds

Christmas is coming, the resolve is weakening: with Winter drawers on and hedgepigs roasting on an open fire, let us cast a bleary and weary eye over the Yuletide Fairs and Festivals the city of Leeds has to offer this season.

There are plenty to choose from, whether you are looking for a specific handmade gift or a glass of mulled wine with one of Santa’s little helpers, but here is a quick round up of three of the best!

Christkindelmarkt

The Christkindelmarkt is probably the largest market in Leeds, running from 13th November to 20th December 2009.

The market is held in the stylish Millennium Square and attracts thousands of visitors every year, it is one of the most popular German Christmas Markets in the country and for good reason!

Each year the square is packed full of traditional wooden stalls, green firs, and festive lights. The German traders who occupy these stalls sell everything you would want at this time of year.

You will find everything from traditional German delicacies and festive decorations to handmade toys and jewellery. Away from the stalls the whole family are provided for: you can watch your children ride the Christmas Carousel or dodgems whilst you enjoy a well-earned glass of gluhwein.

Like most Christmas Markets, the emphasis here is on the overall Yuletide experience – this is what makes the Christkindelmarkt so special.

Skipton Yuletide Festival and Christmas Market

For the past 15 years, Skipton High Street has hosted this famous market. This year promises to be particularly special as the High Street was voted the ‘Best Street in the UK 2009′!

Run on two consecutive Sundays, the 6th and 13th December 2009, festive stalls run the full length of this famous street selling everything you might need in the run up to Christmas.

The Market runs from 10.00am to 4.00pm and there will be festive entertainments put on each of the days.

The festivities will culminate with a candlelit procession down the High Street leading to the Holy Trinity Church where there will be a carol service, to which everyone is welcome.

Grassington Dickensian Festival

The Grassington Festival takes the festive spirit to a different level altogether!

Each year the Dickensian Festival attracts hundreds of people dressed in period costume to enjoy what this beautiful town has to offer.

For three Saturdays and one Friday each year the town is filled with traditional market stalls, street performers and craft stalls. Here you can enjoy getting everything you need for Christmas whilst experiencing what the Yule season must have been like for the Victorians.

Following the day’s festivities there is a candlelit procession around the town which finishes with a carol service in the square.

Grassington is a beautiful place which is made very special by the efforts of the event organisers: the festive spirit influences the whole town, creating a particularly unique experience indeed.

The Grassington Dickensian Festival is held on Friday 4th December, Saturday 5th December, Saturday 12th December and Saturday 19th December 2009.
