mono_cult celebrate five years with Henrik Schwarz, Joy Orbison and Homepark

Beginning life at The Lounge one lazy Sunday afternoon five years ago, mono_cult has grown to become one of Leeds' most important nights, and one which has helped shape the face of the city's nightlife into the sexy mo'fo' that it is today.

The past twelve months alone have seen mono_cult bring the likes of Theo Parrish, The Revenge, Ben Westbeech, Julio Bashmore, John Daly, Floating Points, Soundstream, Tiger & Woods and Art Department to parties at The Lounge, The Faversham, Warehouse parties in Holbeck and a 12,000 person New Year jaunt to see out 2011.

For this milestone event, the night returns to The Faversham; a venue which has formed the backdrop to many mono_cult memories over the years. To kick off the next half decade, Henrik Schwarz (Innervisions) drops in for a very rare and long overdue LIVE performance. Henrik recently graced RA’s Top 5 Live Acts in the world, and along with good friends Ame and Dixon, has been responsible for shaping the mono_cult sound as it is today.

A favourite mono_cult guest of 2011, Joy Orbison (Doldrums/Aus) returns with armfuls of acetate to deliver on his reputation as one of the biggest artists of the last 18 months. Axel Boman will make his mono_cult debut, rising to the forefront with the epic screw-house anthem ‘Purple Drank’ (Pampa Records), remixing Tricksi 'Good time to pray' (Suol), while dotting in occasional appearances at the RBMA.

3rd Strike Records’ Homepark bring the sound of London to Leeds with some eloquent deep house, ever present on their mono_cult podcast, while Hypercolour/Glasstable’s resident string-puller Ste Roberts displays why both labels have dominated record boxes the world over. Last but not least, the gimp room is hosted by Manchester’s party starters Limbo, headed up by Cecille and Get Physical's latest signing, H2.
