Highlights 2013
After an amazing and completely sold out year for Shine 2013 at the cities No1 venue, The Warehouse Leeds. They can boast of reaching Top 10 in the 'UK's Most Popular Events' twice in a row, even landing at number 4 with their most recent September gig 'Shine's 2nd Birthday'. Not only that they presented a 'Shine presents FAC 51 The Hacienda' pulling 1200 excited party heads. While additional support came from the BBC, allowing Pete Tong to plug Shine on Radio 1, Essential Selection and Dave Pearce Radio 2's Dance Years show.
These achievements wouldn't have been possible without classic house skills coming from some of the UK's most impressive artists presenting their expertise, on well thought out nights incorporated into carefully planned line up's, sparking the music buzz from a brilliant sounding Funktion One system alongside lasers, strobe lights and smoke jets accompanied by visual backdrop projector screens adding to what's often described as electrifying.
Naming a few who've brought their magical performance to Shine's enthusiastic and friendly crowd throughout 2013, are DJ greats such as Graeme Park, Mike Pickering, Dave Seaman, Jon Dasilva, Justin Robertson, Tom Wainwright, CJ Mackintosh, Brandon Block, K-Klass, Allister Whitehead, Ian Ossia, Luvdup and the ever soulful live performer, Alison Limerick.
Also alongside the aforementioned acts, local guest's from 90's Leeds brand the original DJ's at Kaos, Mark Alexander, Tony Ross and Graham Dixon were invited to lend support and play at Shine. Even Mark Holliday recently joined ranks becoming one of the new residents there, another name added to Shine's resident roster is that of the amazing skills from Up Yer Ronson's Paul Murray.
Highlights 2014
Shine can also proudly say they'd sold out their Easter Special within record time down at The Warehouse, recently polled the DJ Mag's No1 venue for Leeds, 2014. A 1200 strong capacity crowd extremely excited over 3 rooms turned out for a line up put together especially for April's Bank Holiday Saturday and for the first time at Shine, the excellent DJ's performing were Danny Rampling, Jeremy Healy, Jon Pleased Wimmin and out of retirement with pride, Leeds' very own Marshall.
More DJ's performing their debut with Shine are Marshall Jefferson and Buckley who are both billed onto what's already received an overwhelming response yet again selling out a month in advance for their upcoming annual Shine presents FAC51 The Hacienda event, 2nd August at The Warehouse followed by their final show of 2014, Shine's 3rd Birthday boasting more debut appearances up ahead from X-Press 2, Heller & Farley with extra support to come from Jim Shaft Ryan on 1st November.
Highlights 2015
Over the past couple of years since 2013 Shine have remained a very cool brand with their new found niche sustaining it's style presenting professional top class show's compact with DJ producers who have marketed their own material over the past two decades. Classic house music, sometimes deemed the avoidable to showcase at, has led to our professionalism accompanied with skilled effort managing to persuade & gel world class talents onto the Shine classic house music stage.
Amongst an array of new names in 2015 invited to perform for Shine's loyal following, was the Todd Terry Easter Special kicking the year off.
While up ahead at Made In Leeds Festival an LFO DJ set by Gez Varley is scheduled June in memory of his partner Mark Bell, Warp Records/LFO co-founder. Shine was asked to provide a line up & due to LFO's situation, Shine spotted Leeds based LFO playing Made In Leeds went hand in hand but let's not forget efforts Shine go to, to maintain fresh bill's accordingly therefore pulling out of hat artiste from retirement, so LFO for this particular show was as invited to perform. The handpicked bill overall for The Warehouse tent is LFO alongside Shine regular Justin Robertson with residency support coming from Shine's longstanding Kaos co founder Mark Alexander aka 'Mark & Farrar' with Mark Holliday & Garry Dabill as an entire Shine line up to lend support to The Warehouse DJ's including Hard Time's Brotherton Wing then Steve Lawler. With a further afterparty by Steve Lawler & Shine Resident's featuring Graham Dixon's first gig with Shine as an official resident.
LFO are also due to play Leeds Warehouse to mark the occasion of the Warehouse Mix of LFO by LFO along with Billie Ray Martin's Electribe 101 live PA plus more Shine debut's set for 4th July by 808 State.
After what was a cracking Summer show, it was time to bring Dave Haslam back under the Hacienda banner in Leeds after a long 2 decades, whilst Shine's main achievement was to fly his flag alongside the double yet legendary Park & Pickering outfit, otherwise known as Graeme Park & Michael Pickering. This show was headed by New York's David Morales from the Def Mix Collective giving The Warehouse the best Mad Friday Christmas Party it's seen in years. Much appreciation goes to MN2S for their blessing & entire assistance on such a graceful show with Shine.
