THIS IS SHINE
Shine is an underground house clubbing brand, when presented nowadays and since it's 2023 return to the Leeds scene, they deliver flavours of upfront house alongside cool classics, from soulful house into deep house with quality vocal tracks to be heard on the Shine dancefloor.
ESTABLISHED 2011
Shine originally, was Established in 2011, pulling off it's launch at Bar Seven near Leeds university, the venue was unable to accommodate the 800 party heads who turned up rearing to go for an already rocking party inside yet throughout it's 10 hour duration, 650 people were let in, on a one in one out basis.
It then, was soon realised, Shine needed to evolve it's original 'Indie Rave' concept onto the Leeds Warehouse dancefloor where they stayed based throughout it's remaining five year reign until 2016.
During those exciting five years, Shine invited worldwide DJ's, mainly in from the UK, Europe and the States. Also Shine began hosting FAC 51 The Hacienda at the globally sought after Leeds Warehouse which played a key part in presenting Shine's dedicated revellers staple diet with nothing but, cool top quality house music, feeding ever growing hungers, re affirming to themselves that Shine night's have restored their house music religion, back into a club scene environment, along with what's held it's perceived reputation for their comfortable, very friendly crowd. Had it not been for the Shine Faithful rediscovering a club bug all over again, Shine would've never achieved it's success.
Their Easter Bank Holiday's however and Shine Birthday's enabled the brand to play about with line ups, fulfilling their desire to confidently present presentations, constantly growing from strength to strength Shine's niche, bringing a trusted vibe over to an audience which in turn put their faithful hands in the brand. For example the occasional Live PA were invited to perform on stage while DJ's catered out on birthday's a deeper underground classic house vibe. Each show... being a bill going down perfectly into a small piece of history, continuously growing Shine's reputation.
SHINE'S RETURN 2023
Shine re-established itself back into Leeds on a new footing last September 2023, at the Leeds Warehouse with additional HiFi Club shows already announced for 2024 and there's many dates booked well into 2025 too.
