As Spring approaches and the sun tentatively puts his hat on, Carl Cox brings a splash of Balaeric flavour to Leeds in the form of his incendiary Ibizan show ‘The Revolution Continues’.

Set to light up the raw industrial space of the VOX Warehouse on the outskirts of Leeds on April 22nd, Carl Cox’s explosive Ibiza residency is one of the main stays of the White Isle’s calendar.

You cannot mistake Carl’s excitement behind the decks; his head bobbing up and down as he layers track over track, working any room into a frenzy. There is something amazing about witnessing the intensity of Carl Cox behind the decks that a mix CD could never capture. Carl’s passion is infectious and his dedication to new music relentless;  it’s this combination that is at the very core of his appeal.

For this event, fellow Revolutionary, Intec Digital label mate and Circus resident Yousef joins Carl after one of the best years of his career. He was one of the highlights of the parties in Ibiza last season, delivering set after set of blistering House and Techno. Along with a diary full of dates at the world’s best clubs, he has had a prolific year as a producer, releasing on Cocoon, Intec, Hart House, Saved and Fire Cracker plus remix work with Moby, Jamie T, Gilles Petersons Havana Band and Fatboy Slim.

Opening room one will be Leeds stalwart David Martin. Having launched Technique and been resident for over 10 years he has made an indelible mark on the Leeds music scene. Add to that the management of Immigrant Records along the way and appearances at the like of Fabric, Sub Club, Sankeys and further afield in Europe and the US, it’s clear that David's knowledge is well cultivated and well respected.

In room two Chris Carrier headlines while Modern Amusement play host. Launched in October 2010 mA+ has quickly jostled its way into the already impressive landscape of Leeds’ club scene. With a clear desire to create a varied, music-focused experience for its crowd, mA+ has rapidly gained respect in the city. mA+ has found a home at VOX which is suited to its no nonsense approach. With artists such as Kyle Hall, Prosumer, Tyrant, Joy Orbison, Matthias Tanzmann and Surgeon already making appearances at mA+, it’s clear why the event is already finding favour amongst a contingency of Leeds folk who seek a party of a different kind.

Tickets for this huge bank holiday show are available now through Skiddle for £15 advance.
