No, seriously, she’d be proud. Hijacked’s second turn out at York’s newest and only (literally!) underground venue, the Hub was a resounding success, a true party in Hijacked style, with record numbers through door and a stunning set from special guests, Leuce Rhythms, who, like all our guests, loved the night, loved the music and loved the crowd. We can expect to see those boys back for another slot seomtime in the near future.

Hijacked is back at the Hub in November with Kiss FM’s very own Jay Cunning, keep watching this space for updates, but before then we have Hijacked’s 2nd annual Halloween party at the much loved Thomas’ bar, Sat 31st October doors open at 9 and it’s £4 in or £3 for anyone in fancy dress – get your frocks on!

Well what can we say, WOW what a night, SLYDE were amazing, literally blew the roof off the HUB.  Big big thanks to everyone who rocked it out all night, some seriously sweaty, smiling faces on the dance floor - just the way we like it.

This month we are bringin leeds based duo LEUCE RYTHMS;

Leuce Rhythms’ Philosophy is simple; Fuse together all that is good in electronic music to create a pumpin’, funkin’ and down-right filthy Breakbeat sound. Forged through the DJ combination of Richard Hale (A.K.A Hale D’Vibe) and Dan De Lissandri; Leuce Rhythms have exploded onto the Breakbeat scene, setting alight dance floors across Europe, quickly earning them a party reputation that is guaranteed never to disappoint. The transition from DJs into the realms of production was only a matter of time. Their skills have transferred fluidly from the stage into the studio. Recent events see Leuce Rhythms teaming up with Royal One Records to bring you their latest release ‘Rubber Tongue’, cementing the fact that, this is the act to watch out for in 2009!

It’s that time of the month and Hijacked will be kicking off your bank holiday weekend with another massive night of dirty breaks, bassline funk and filthy electro, plus anything else we feel like throwing at you, all the residents are up in the area and will be bringing it with style for our last regular night at Thomas’s (we’ll be back for the 2nd annual Halloween party!)

We’ve been loving it at Thomas’s, all the residents have enjoyed every minute of it and were totally made up at the support we’ve had. Over the last year or so we’ve seen Hijacked grow into exactly the kind of party night we want it to be and the time has come to take it on to the next level, which will see Hijacked re-launching in September in York’s newest venue, The Hub!!! We’re all looking forward to bringing you Hijacked’s party vibe in a real club atmosphere, kicking things off with special guests Slyde (Finger Lickin’ records) and a whole host of hot acts lined up over the coming months, so keep watching this space and see you on the dance floor!

August also sees the return of the eclectic 4 Record Friday, our bastard child which has spawned into a night in its own right, for those not in the know this is open decks Hijacked style, bring 4 tunes of your choice on vinyl, cd or mp3 player and play them! Expect true randomness.

On a final note I’m sad to say Hijacked resident Rob Green Renegade has decided to leave Hijacked, at least for the time being, we hope this will just be a short term thing, but would like to say thanks to Rob for all his hard work in helping make Hijacked what it is.

And as for the rest of you, let’s get down and dirty!

Bring it!
