1987 Revisited: JON DASILVA / MARK ALEXANDER / ANTON RAPHAEL 1.21gigawatts

Chicago House, Detroit Techno, New Beat/Techno from Belgium, Germany & the Netherlands and the emergence of British House Music, this year had it all. Whilst London was largely still gripped by Rare Groove mania, the North heartily embraced these new sounds. Clubs like The Haçienda, with the legendary Nude night (DJs Pickering and Prendergast) set the bar; playing across-the-board from Electro and Hip Hop to House and Techno.

One DJ soaking it all up was a certain Jon Dasilva - fresh face on the Manchester scene and keen to bring his own style to the party. That style was his own personal blend of House and Techno with a particular fascination with the high drama of dropping sound effects and marrying soulful acapellas over vicious Techno and House. It wasn’t long before he got the attention of The Haçienda and his residency started with the now infamous and legendary Hot night.

Let Jon, along with Leeds DJs Mark Alexander & Anton Raphael, take you back in time with the biggest club tunes of 35 years ago. Wire is one of the best intimate clubs in Leeds to host this one off event.
