This article is about UNDERGROUNDS 1st Birthday Party with JAMES HOLROYD @ The Welly Club in Hull (UK), Sat 12 Jul 2008
Saturday 12th July - In conjunction with DEJA VU.
Terrace Bar - UNDERGROUND 1ST BIRTHDAY JAMES HOLROYD (Back 2 Basics, Bugged Out, Chemical Brothers tour DJ) Chris Mills & Lou Start.
DJ James Holroyd a.k.a. Boggy, started plying his trade back in 1991 in the heady days of the original Back to Basics at Leeds' Music Factory. He was introduced to the decks playing a mixture of funk, house, disco and hip hop, and by 1992 his unique style and cheeky personality had secured him as resident.
A move to Manchester strengthened his contacts with Manchester's bubbling underground club scene. In 1993 he joined forces with the Jockey Slut Magazine team to form a house and techno based club night called Bugged Out, and in 1997 this weekly night earned itself the Muzik Magazine Award for Club of the Year. Bugged Out is an all night party that takes place at The End in London, Sankeys in Manchester and The Loft in Barcelona, and also visits other clubs in the UK and around the world.
James is the Chemical Brothers Tour DJ: Connections made in Manchester had also lead to Boggy hooking up with the Chemical Brothers. Tom and Ed were so impressed with Holroyd's DJ style that they invited him to tour with them in England from 1995 and then America from 1997, More recently, Boggy has visited Japan, Malaysia and South America, and has just returned Australia with the Chemical Brothers world wide tour.
In 1998 Basics reopened its doors at The Mint Club in Leeds and James was once again invited to spin as resident DJ alongside Ralph Lawson, Paul Woolford and Buckley, gaining popularity as one of the best underground house emporiums in the UK, winning Muzik Magazines Underground Club of the Year award. James is still a Basics resident 17 years on due to his unique style and willingness to read the dance floor to keep the party going!
