CHAPTER 01
A Manchester selector with more than one story
Luke Una’s connection to northern England club culture goes back decades. AllMusic identifies him as a DJ and promoter whose work helped shape the Electric Chair and Homoelectric party communities in Manchester. With Justin Crawford he also worked as one half of the Unabombers; the partnership produced records and compilations that came out of those club nights.
Names and aliases can cause trouble in an artist database. Luke Una and Luke Unabomber should not automatically become two disconnected people or two duplicated bookings. The DJ Hangout keeps the primary page under Luke Una, while preserving related identities in its verified background rather than inflating artist totals.
CHAPTER 02
The value of a DJ who crosses musical borders
Una’s music is notably broad, moving between house and techno records and a deeper vocabulary of soul, funk, jazz and disco. A serious electronic-music directory can describe that honestly. A DJ’s full musical taste need not conform to every chart rule; this website’s charts remain electronic-only, while his booked electronic club performances fit naturally into Shows.
This eclectic approach helps explain why his name belongs on a celebration of Back to Basics. A commemorative dance floor depends not only on famous records but on the selectors who know the history of a room and can bring a crowd together across generations of dance music.
CHAPTER 03
Back to Basics turns 35
The Mint Warehouse event calendar lists Back to Basics: 35 Years for Saturday, November 28, 2026. The published billing includes Lil Louis, Luke Una, Tristan Da Cunha and Inland Knights, plus other performers. The event-specific Skiddle listing also names James Holroyd, Ralph Lawson, Dave Beer and Charlie Boon. Not every artist is described as a solo headliner, and the precise set order has not been announced.
Back to Basics has long been associated with Leeds club culture, making the anniversary about the continuing community as much as one DJ. The DJ Hangout links this verified Show to the specific venue and expands artist pages only where identities are independently corroborated. Unknown performance times remain unknown.
CHAPTER 04
The address, the door, and the music
Mint Warehouse is at Aquatite House, Water Lane in Holbeck, Leeds LS11 9UD. The original Skiddle event page gives the show a 10 p.m. start on Saturday and 6 a.m. finish Sunday, with entry restricted to adults and a midnight last-entry cutoff. Those details are practical information fans need before deciding whether to attend.
More importantly, the artist and venue are now linked to an already-existing event. No duplicate ticket listing was created. Readers can find the event directly from Una’s page and move from there to Mint Warehouse’s venue profile, while the external purchase action is limited to the authentic event-specific vendor page.
