After an amazing first season of parties when we welcomed Horse Meat Disco, Bradley Zero and Hunee to the North East, we return in 2016 and are joined by more of the best selectors from around the globe!
Reasons To Be Cheerful, bringing together the best aspects of dance floor culture. Expect weird and wonderful, cosmic sounds, deeper grooves and uplifting melodies through a series of resident parties and special bookings with our favourite DJ’s from around the world.
One for the dancers and the crate diggers, RTBC is a music led, no-rules apply, ego-free party all centred around the crowd and the DJs getting down and dancing to great music together in a friendly environment. All these things we think are most definitely reasons to be cheerful.

We've lined up something really special to kick off our parties in 2016 as Move D joins us on February 19th for a three hour set. Move D, aka David Moufang, is one of modern electronic music’s most beloved souls with a long and varied musical history with roots in 60s and 70s jazz, psychedelic, rock, soul and early electronica.
Making his first appearance on vinyl as part of a school bands competition in 1983, it was only another four years before he started toying with the medium as a DJ, playing funk, soul, hip-hop and proto-house. In the 90s things began to move fast with the inception of his Source Records imprint, early productions (including the debut Move D LP ‘Kunststoff’ – Source Records, 1994) and the beginnings of a 26 album relationship with close friend, the late Pete Namlook. Since then, Moufang has become an unassuming heavyweight in house music as a producer for countless forward thinking labels, a collaborator and a truly original selector.
His discography is long and impressive and holds releases on a broad variety of labels such as Source, Modern Love, Workshop, Smallville, Warp, Running Back, Uzuri and Electric Minds among others plus collaborations and involvements in projects like Magic Mountain High (w. Juju & Jordash) and Reagenz (w. Jonah Sharp).
Not one to slack off, his live and dj performances have been on par with (if not superior to) his studio work, pulling from all corners of his diverse catalogue in order to create an experience that attacks the hips and head in equal measure.His releases touch on house conventions but are delivered in his own inimitable style, leaving everyone - from long time fans to the uninitiated - with their jaws on the floor and their hands in the air.
He will be joining our residents, Ricky Bonewell (a.k.a Joonipah), Jack Tomson and Jack P for a night sure to be filled with fun, smiles and plenty of dancing...
