Love Muscle

Love Muscle a pumping queer dance party Love Muscle is a real LGBTQ alternative for the more discerning night life enthusiast.

With a scene that only aspires to the lowest common denominator of lip-sync lip service, terrible cheesy pop and pink profit above taste and decency; it would seem we have a mandate for a man-date. Taking inspiration from such broad churches as The Paradise Garage, The Gallery, The Sound Factory and The Warehouse we aim to deliver you from sonic evil with a heady heavenly mix of funk, soul, techno

and disco. Support your local queer disco

NEXT RAVE INCOMING

Apologies for this later than scheduled event announcement, we’ve had quite a few things to plan of recent months.

Firstly, massive thank you to Bonzai Bonner for tearing up the dancefloor at our last party, was great to finally have them down to play for us! Big shout out to blu.dream on their residents debut and to DJ Subaru for closing us out in style!

NEXT UP we have one of our favourite DJs and no stranger to Leeds, the inimitable, Introspekt!

is a DJ and producer originally from Los Angeles but now based in NYC. With releases on Gimme A Break, EC2A, Locked On Records and T4T LUV NRG; her sound represents an eclectic mix of bass heavy club music that is centered around the sound of the international Garage scene.

Through experimentations with this genre, Introspekt recontextualizes it in a way that reprioritizes Black, q***r, and femme perspectives in dance music. Last year she was the first ever woman to release on seminal UK garage & dubstep label tempa.

Regularly called out as one of the best breakthrough artists of the last few years, Sage is also a fantastic DJ! You can catch her travelling the world playing at all your favourite parties across Europe and America. Every time she’s played in Leeds its been a pleasure to watch and now she’s finally coming our little rave to tear it up.

You can listen to her sounds here: https://soundcloud.com/grottola/grotto-004-undercurrent

Resident support on the day will be a double super-sub of & .y_ !

HWFG NEXT RAVE INCOMING!

Big love to everyone that came to our party with Red Greg in January. It was a disco love affair until the early hours with some amazing music from both our guest and residents alike! The atmosphere was simply divine, shout out to all the dancers :)

Next up we have long-time friend and inspiration from across the northern border, the amazing !

For those that don’t know, Bonner is a party promoter and DJ from Glasgow and founder of Shoot Your Shot, Glasgow’s premier q***r club night. They set the party up over a decade ago and since then it’s played a major role in shaping the cities LGBTQ scene and beyond!

Bonner has been a prominent presence amidst the Scottish club scene for many years, working doors, promoting parties and hustling fearlessly for a better, more connected scene and the inclusion of those who seek to find comfort in the same music and escapism that they love.

Thier sound draws upon influences from Post Punk, EBM and Synth Pop. A wild mixture of everything from Joy Division to Bauhaus, Klaus Nomi to Pete Burns, The Pet Shop Boys and beyond.

We’ve talked about having them down since the day we first met, so its a pleasure to finally them play for us, you are in for a Hi NRG treat!

NEW YEAR, NEW SOIRÉE!

We are back for the first party of the year, fresh from a lovely break and a successful NYE pump at the Pleasuredome!

Huge thank you to everyone that attended our festive fist party back in December. Great to finally get Kuriboh down to play. Amazing music all night, huge shout out to them as well as Kessie and Musys for seeing out the year correctly!

Next we are really excited to have back one of our all time favourite DJs - the inimitable Red Greg!

Reg Greg (aka Darren) is your favourite DJ’s favourite DJ’s DJ! Darren spent his formative years dancing at the blues parties of the mid-80’s in East London. With a keen ear for music from an early age Darren got into collecting and DJ-ing inspired by the sound-system parties and even ran a mixed/Queer night in the 90’s called Ebonite.

He’s spent 20 years paying the soul circuit in London but came to popular acclaim when approached to play at plastic people and contribute to Mafalda’s Melodies International Label. Since then he has become the darling of the rare groove and disco scene playing some of the best clubs and festivals across europe!

Darren had recently put DJing on hiatus but began his return to the dancefloor in late 2025. We cannot wait to welcome him back and get down!

Listen to his sounds here: https://soundcloud.com/redgreg/tracks

Residents on the night will be Michael Upson and Lucy Locket.
