Asylum
THE END & 10th Anniversary
Saturday 26th October
Mint Warehouse, Leeds.
Saturday October 26th will be the 10th anniversary and simultaneously last ever edition of Leeds famous and influential night, Asylum. To celebrate a decade of mad memories, a party is to take place at Mint Warehouse with Kerri Chandler, Crazy P, Maurice Fulton, Futureboogie, PBR Streetgang, Negghead, Maxi Soundsystem and a selection of residents from over the years.
Tom Thorpe was the man behind the night for all that time, booking the likes of (often for the first time in the city) Luciano, Danny Krivit, Loco Dice, Metro Area, Jamie Jones, Greg Wilson, Damian Lazarus, Todd Terje, Dyed Soundorom, Unabombers and many more. Says Tom…
"It's time to close the doors forever on the Asylum story, which seems very fitting on it's 10th Anniversary. I can safely say the last ten years have been the best of my life. From opening the doors at the Mint Club in 2003 with Winston Hazel & Desi Rocca our main aim was to bring something fresh and underground to the city. Our motto is 'if it's good music... play it" regardless of what genre it comes from."
"Luckily for us the people of Leeds shared the same passion and enthusiasm for the music, but of course they would… it's Leeds! From our humble beginnings we soon had a packed club swinging from the camo' netting week in week out, still to this day I have never seen a club go as crazy as when Jazzy Jeff took to the decks scratching up his selection of wonky beats and disco treats! And then came the clown we know so well as Circo Loco, we were one of the first to bring the brand to the UK, it caused total chaos for Val and the Mint club team as people would fly in from all over Europe to see us showcase the red hot beats of Monday's craziest party from the white Isle. The Mint club is where our heart lies so, it only seems fitting to go out with a bang at one of their venues. There are so many amazing acts that I wanted to include for the closing but I'm sure you will agree I've selected the 'top gun' of Asylum's previous guests for the final curtain call!"
"Lastly I want to thank everyone who has been involved and indeed supported Asylum over the years. As everyone knows it's the people that make the party and you've been the most amazing, outrageous, party misfits there are! I hold many fond memories and experiences albeit hazy ones, but the most important thing for me is the friends I've made along the way, you guys will make me smile for a life time. I hope you've enjoyed the journey as much as I have and will join in for one last soiree, in true Asylum style expect the unexpected... It's your last chance to dance!"
Little needs to be said of the line-up, which features New jersey house legend and Circo Loco associate Kerri Chandler, disco king Maurice Fulton, local cosmic boogie heroes Crazy P and PBR STreetgang, Hypercolour star Maxi Soundsystem and plenty of the residents who made the night so special over the years. Whats more, to close it all out in fine style there will be an afterparty at The Garage in Leeds with the most famous ex-reisdent of them all, Simon Baker, plus a special guest from Circo Loco.
