About this Event

YORK BANK HOLIDAY SPECIAL



DJ BIO's



---------------------------GRAEME PARK------------------------

The story of DJ Graeme Park really mirrors the story of the evolution of dance music and club culture itself. Graeme found himself working in a Nottingham record shop called Selectadisc in the early 1980s, when the very first house records began to filter through from Chicago, Detroit and New York. When the shop's owner opened a nightclub, it was only natural he should turn to Graeme to select the discs. Determined to showcase this new style of music, his reputation as a house pioneer soon brought him to the attention of Mike Pickering at the Haçienda in Manchester, who asked him to cover for him while he went on holiday in 1988. Simply put, there was no-one else in the country who could do the job. The Summer of Love followed, and Parky quickly became one of the biggest names on the emerging dance scene. Aside from his eight year residency at The Haç, he was one of the first British DJs to play places like Australia, South America, the USA, Asia and beyond as well as producing and remixing tracks for the dancefloor, including The Brand New Heavies, Inner City, Eric B & Rakim, New Order, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and more.

Steve was the first DJ ever to play a House record in Leeds, this was in the last half of the 1980s, and at the time when R&B and Hip-Hop was king, Steve took a chance and bought a House record 'Steve 'Silk' Hurley - Jack your body' and played it in one of his R&B sets. This was 2 years before the record was released in the UK, Steve bought it on a USA import.
