Glasshouse

November 16, 2006

For ten years The Glasshouse has endured as the cult sensation of the Leeds dance underground. An incendiary after-hours event that has steadily thrived on word-of-mouth and built a reputation for eccentricity, enthusiasm, and an obsessive, consistent passion for music. Originally conceived as a Hard House and Trance night during the height of that scene, The Glasshouse expanded and evolved with the rise of House; its stellar roster of resident DJs packing out the venue with 1000-plus punters every Saturday without fail, whilst other clubs were being forced to permanently close their doors. It quickly became an unparalleled event on the club calendar that everyone knew of, but essentially knew nothing about. The Glasshouse has long stood and still stands as none other than Leeds? best-kept secret.

The anniversary party on 11th November gave clubbers a fantastic opportunity to taste what The Glasshouse has to offer for years to come. With a strong dose of electro, tribal and funky house, the stellar line-up included hot newcomer and resident Daley Padley, DJ Exacta (NY), Levi Lewis (Studio Funk), Stuart Robinson, Carl Kowlaik and Marc Leaf.

The huge success of the evening was not only down to the music policy and the venue - consisting of three main rooms, boasting various balconies and cubby holes equipped with plenty of sofas to give the dancing feet a rest, an outdoor terrace and an old man?s style pub avec dartboard, pool table acting as a fantastic chill-out area - but also the friendly, quirky and extremely up-for-it crowd who danced the night away until late the next morning. The Glasshouse is simply the best option for a Saturday night in Leeds.

Now with a weekly all nighter, this well-established name in clubland will continue to offer a fantastic atmosphere and a platform for exploring the very best in new dance music talent. With a decade of experience in the UK and Ibiza under their belt, The Glasshouse plans to expand to other territories, while continuing to offer top quality nights for the people up North.

The Glasshouse will also be launching its own label in 2007, showcasing some of the best production work from the cream of house music.
