LEEDS - ENGLAND

This city is fast becoming one of the best places for techno in the UK, imo. The demise of The Orbit was a bit of a downer at the time but since it closed the techno scene has really taken off. In the past couple of months we've had some outstanding DJ's ranging from Garnier to Craig - from Surgeon to Aux 88 Live and the next few months look even better.

Gaetek, Mark Broom, DJ Bone, Octave One, Oliver Ho, James Ruskin, 65d Mavericks, A Tresor Tour featuring Regis Live, Derrick May, Oscar Mulero, Paul Mac, Grovskopa, Robert Hood and Steve Bicknell are all due in the next couple of months.

A perfect place to live at the moment and with Liverpool just 1 hour away us Northerners are really spoilt for choice. The problem now is - where do I find the money to see all these lot.
