Ahead of this weekend’s 34th birthday Deja Vu reunion, Browse Hull spoke to founder and promoter Terry Spamer about the long arc of electronic music in Hull, the nights that pulled clubbers in from across the country, and how going out has changed from the early 90s to now.

Ultrascope Music Group is pitching something bigger than a recording studio. Based in Hull, the project is focused on artist development, distribution and long-term career support, with the wider aim of keeping more value, knowledge and opportunity in the city.

Hull’s own prodigal sons, The Paddingtons, are back. While they’ve reunited several times over the years for one-off gigs and nostalgic celebrations, this time feels different. There’s a renewed sense of purpose, of unfinished business, and most excitingly, the promise of something new.

REVIEW: Jacko and Jim’s Birthday Bash at The Adelphi feat. Holly Blackshaw, Toby Hay and BDRMM.

How else to celebrate the 69th and 70th birthday of two Hull music scene icons than with a classic Adelphi party?

For those who’ve been living under a rock for the last few years, BDRMM (pronounced ‘Bedroom’) are a band on the rise. Along with Low Hummer and Life, they can lay claim to the moniker ‘the biggest band in Hull’ right now. And they most definitely have a strong claim on ‘the best,’ such is the electronica-tinged shoegaze band’s trajectory.

For 20 years now, The Sesh has provided Hull with a spellbinding weekly showcase of the area’s best and brightest musical prodigies.

Tim Yeomans should have the respect he deserves. He’s been instrumental in shaping, not only club culture here in Hull, but also DJ culture.
