Photo Flashback: Residentclubber Nights (2002-2008) - The DJ's

Back in the olden days, from 2002 until around 2008, I organised dance music nights in bars and clubs around Leamington Spa. 

Inspired after a trip to the superclub Godskitchen in Birmingham a year or so before, and disappointed there not being anything of its like, both musically or of a similar vibe more locally, I had a plan. Why not do something about it!

After clubbing in Birmingham for a couple of years, I had garnered a few DJ contacts in the clubs and across various clubbing messageboard forums and had plenty of takers for DJ's when I put the word out looking for DJ's to play.

The first Residentclubber Night, 'Trancefusion', launched at Pacific Rim (now the back room at House) in Leamington Spa in December 2002; a dance music night of trance and hard dance! It only lasted until July 2003, but the quality of mostly up and coming DJ's spinning on the decks was pretty high.

Over the next few years, the sound of the nights evolved from the harder dance music of melodic trance and techno, to a more funky house sound, which lead to more events in several bars around Leamington Spa, before culminating in a residency night in the top floor VIP room at the club Evolve (now Neon), which proved very popular!

The events were great fun to put on, some great nights, music and memories. I had learned a lot in putting the nights on and made some new friends and contacts along the way as well.

Here's a look back at some of the fabulous DJ's (and me) that graced the decks at the various Residentclubber Nights events over the years!
