Leeds promotional gang Butter Side Up keep booking the best in underground dance music for their regular parties; after seeing off 2012 by putting on a party with London producer Toby Tobias, the long running night have really bagged themselves a coup for this coming weekend's show (Friday 11th January) by booking East Coast house producer Amir Alexander for a rare and exclusive DJ set.
Amir Alexander has been credited as a linchpin in the current resurgence of East Coast sounds. A DJ of over 20 years and head of the Vanguard Sound imprint, his tough, raw and gritty sound was best demonstrated on his Gutter Flex EP last year. Since its release, he's also gone on to put out bangers on Hypercolour and Deep Vibes. Butter Side Up residents Hamish Cole. Hugh Bailey, Jonny Sleight and Ciaran Hansen all help keep the floor toasted for the man himself. Tickets and further info can be found below. If you're in the area, make sure you don't miss out on this opportunity to get yourself a real house music education.
