Northern Purpose

Brendan Clark and Carl H are NORTHERN PURPOSE.
The pair have combined to form one of the best underground house party’s in London, under the same name. Together, their sound ranges from Deep House to Techno; their Chicago and Detroit influences are almost palpable.
Although inspired by producers from the early-mid 90′s, the NP boys know how to move a dance floor, and no matter how retrospective they go, their sound still remains relevant. Their sound reaches far beyond the UK; with residencies agreed at the Grelle Forelle club in Vienna and the up-and-coming Meadows In the Mountains based in Bulgaria, Brendan and Carl H AKA NORTHERN PURPOSE are looking forward to a positive and successful 2012.

Brendan Clark

Vic & Jamie

Long time friends of ours Vik hails from Bradford, a fashionista in his own right running successful store and clothing line MKI from the Corn Exchange in Leeds. I’m sure there isn’t one night in Leeds where some cool cat isn’t wearing a piece of MKI. Jamie on the other hand comes from Leeds and is what we would call the perfect socialite, loves a good party and has a fine ear for quality music.
