Just a little round up of what we are up to for the early part of this year.
This month sees our first gig in Brussels at the world renowned Fuse ; kind of like Belgium�s answer to Fabric. So we are massively looking forward to that!
Friday February 6th is our first party of the year back at our home Wire in Leeds with the rather excellent DFA darling Jacques Renault. Disco, house and plenty of re-edits will be the order of the evening.

Them Broken Hookers have taken some time out from producing the excellent ArePeopleReal podcast and finally got some finished tracks to unleash upon the world that they have been promising for so long. Head on over to their MySpace page and let them know what you think…
We were invited over to The Pod in Dublin last weekend to warm up for The Presets. It wasn�t so much a warm up set more a full on rave-a-thon as it became apparent 10 mins after the doors opened that everyone was well up for it so we let �em have it! Here�s some pictoral evidence�
Thanks to Stephen at Space Camp for having us over.
Happy New Year! Hope everyone had a great Xmas and New Year. Normal service will be resumed on 6th February now the silly season is over and we took a well earned break.
Producer and DJ, Jacques Renault was a post-punk Washington D.C. native who moved to Chicago in 1997 to continue his studies of viola, but in turn got a serious education in dance music. Tapping into the well established Drum n’ Bass scene, he held a residency at Smart Bar and became a buyer at the legendary Gramaphone Records. This broad, raw exposure to House music lead him straight back to the classics of Disco and to it’s heart, New York City, where he landed in 2002. His distinct sound and ability to gauge his audience has made Jacques a stand-out amongst his peers in the elite, international sphere of electronic music. He has performed everywhere from the Guggenheim’s Art After Dark event to Berlin’s Rio Club – even gracing the pages of Paper Magazine’s 2007 Beautiful People. Recently voted as Best NYC DJ for Paper’s Night Life Awards, Jacques has held residencies at New York’s famed venues Happy Endings and Tribeca Grand while currently hosting a 205 Club party showcasing an impressive line-up of weekly guest DJs. Along with friends at DFA Records, Jacques is pushing the disco conscious sweep into the new dance-punk scene. With his edits, original tracks and collaborative project RUNAWAY he has released music on the internationally acclaimed New York labels, Italians Do It Better, Editions Disco, and Wurst Edits while having EP’s slated for Brennan Green’s Chinatown, Cosmo Vitelli’s I’m A Cliche, and the new internet only label RCRD LBL. As well as getting coveted spots on the Glimmers’ Eskimo mix and the Lindstrom and Prins Thomas BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix, Mr. Renault appears regularly on Beats In Space, EVR and contributes a weekly show, Runaway Disco, to VIVA Radio.
