Christmas special!
** FULL FLYER COMING SOON! **
2012 has been a fantastic year for us - some of the greatest acts in the whole rave scene
have graced our stage and we've well and truly brought the Leeds Hardcore scene back to life
with some wicked parties... not forgetting bringing together a fantastic crew of ravers who
never fail to create an amazing atmosphere! We've said it before and we'll say it again, you
guys are the best!
We wanted to throw one last event of 2012 to say thanks for all for your support before we
take a short break in the new year. Crew, this is our Christmas gift to you...
Stomp presents... "Oh Come All Ye Hardcore!" with....
** DJ DOUGAL & MC WHIZZKID! ** CLASSICS SET **
(Bonkers, Essential Platinum, Broken Records, HTID, Hardcore Heaven)
Dougal has been mixing it up at the top of his game since the 90's - topping lineups for the
biggest events, mixing legendary albums such as Bonkers and Hardcore Heaven, producing
massive anthem after anthem and smashing thousands of ravers' grannies out along the way.
Whizzkid - officially the number 1 MC in the Hardcore scene (as voted by the ravers
themselves!) - boasts an equally impressive track record when it comes to rocking
dancefloors and raising roofs! Even after having headlined huge events worldwide, hosted
best selling albums and taken to the studio to create some killer anthems over the last
decade and more, Whizzkid's passion for the scene and the music is stronger than ever.
We can't wait to bring this duo to our stage for an epic Hardcore classics set!
** ARKITECH b2b THUMPA ** (Hardbeats Collective / A-Tech Music / ReBuild Music) - WORLD
EXCLUSIVE! **
Continuing our support for Hardcore's underground revolution we're proper excited to
welcome Arkitech to Stomp for the first time, linking up with crowd favourite DJ Thumpa for
an anything goes set covering a multitude of styles and sounds! Arkitech is widely regarded
as one of the most gifted DJ's and producers in the scene, playing at massive events such as
Freeformation and I Love Hard Beats and his music appearing on some of the biggest albums.
We welcome Thumpa back by popular demand after he smashed the pants off our July event,
earning his status as a big favourite with our ravers. The only predictable thing about this set
is that it's going to be feckin' awesome!
** SPIT ** (Executive Records)
Bursting onto the scene with a string of wicked productions from his studio, local lad SPIT has
since taken his unique sound all over the world - winning scores of fans along the way. We're
buzzing to welcome him back to our lineup to bring us an hour of brand new productions,
classics and more - delivered in true SPIT style as only he can!
** DARTS ** (Trackmaster Music, Stomp!) - featuring live vocals from NOVA!
2012 has been a remarkable year for Darts - establishing Stomp as one of the most exciting
new events in the rave scene, making his HTID debut at the Summer Gathering Weekender,
linking up with Radio One's Kutski for the massive "Keeping The Rave Alive" event in Leeds
and rolling out smashing releases on Trackmaster Music and Uprising Digital. Join him for his
last set of 2012 and your first chance to hear some exclusive new tracks - including a special
live performance from vocalist Nova!
** LOOBY ** (Stomp!)
Looby has been a revelation for us this year, stepping up to our decks and rocking our
dancefloor with a string of wicked sets and bringing a new dimension to our lineups with his
trademark Hard Dance sound and supertight mixes - as well as earning his place on the
awesome Keeping The Rave Alive lineup. We can't wait to hear what musical treats Mr Loobs
has got in store for us this Christmas!
For those in the know round Leeds way, Jimi Burnz is a bit of a legend. Give him a record -
any record - and he'll mix it up proper. This lad knows what a rave is all about and he's a
REAL talent behind the decks so we're thrilled to bits to get him onboard with us again - this
time for a 100% vinyl, 100% classic oldskool rave set! It's time to dust off your white gloves,
whistles and rave horns and party like it's 1993!
** CLAXTON ** (Nu Talent Hardcore / Freeform)
Continuing our mission to support new talent we're really excited to invite Claxton to make
his Stomp debut after he handed in an exceptionally strong demo CD at our July event -
seamlessly throwing together everything from upfront, uplifting UK Hardcore to Freeform to
Hardcore Breaks with quality mixes and inspired tune selection. You will definitely be seeing
and hearing more from this guy in future!
*** BONUS XMAS MEGAMIX ***
We just couldn't do a Christmas event without putting on some sort of musical Christmas
cheesefest for you all. We don't even need to explain what this is going to be. Pure festive
musical carnage - the perfect antidote to all those overplayed Christmas songs you've been
hearing in the shops for the last 2 or 3 months! Get ready to rock your stockings off, this will
be fandabbydosey! ;-)
Hosted by MC's:
** WHIZZKID ** (aforementioned scene legend!)
** THUNDA ** (super talented rising star and big Stomp crowd favourite!)
** SCOTTY G ** (Hardcore Heaven MC comp winner, pure skills!)
** ARNIE ** (Stomp ever present and all round cheeky chap!)
** OCTANE ** (new talent MC - handed in a wicked demo at our July event!)
We have a strict "No twats" policy for our MC's - we only book performers who know how to
do their job and compliment the music - end of!
Just like all our events, this night has an optional dress theme - nice easy one for you this
time - pure and simple - CHRISTMAS! It could be anything from a humble Santa hat to a full
on Christmas pudding or reindeer, it's entirely up to you, but as usual there'll be prizes
(including CD's and other random giveaways) to those who've made the most effort with their
outfits!!
THE MONG ZONE - normal raves have a chillout room - we have The Mong Zone! A fully
furnished quiet room with games, books and fun activities for when you're all raved out and
need to catch up on some monging! We may even hide some Christmas presents in there this
time!

LEEDS, LS11 5NF. 10PM-5AM
6.00 advance tickets (available online from We Got Tickets soon!) - 10 on the door - 8

Haha! Yeah it is unbelievably festive isn't it - think it captures our fun loving, free spirited party vibe well
If ever there was a time to give people a reminder that our scene is about going out, having fun bouncing around to your favourite tunes with your favourite people I think this is it!

Bless em, Stace and Russ came to our first event in July last year... it was really quiet.. I almost felt like packing it in after that one tbh with you! But we still had a really good atmosphere on the night and I knew with a bit of brains and graft we could build on it...
Arnie's been ace for us this year, become a proper favourite. Sorry he can't make it for this one now but hopefully get him back up in the new year.... be ace if you can make it along some time Jimmy, we need to catch up and talk tunes n stuff!

Blimey, what an awesome night! Despite losing a few of our regulars to other Christmas related activities and illness, somehow we managed to pull it out of the bag!
Dougal, Whizzkid, Arkitech, Thumpa, Spit.... smashed it! As did the other guys, including a very helpful Midas filling in for me at the end.
Love it
