What a belter the summer has been... To everyone who has made new friends, seen sites, made memories that will last a lifetime, loved, lost, loved again and lost again, drank, swam, sung, surfed and smiled! It's been an amazing journey with lots of good stories to tell...

Leeds... well Leeds is Leeds, honest and passionate with a cheeky smile... Leeds continues to grow, still pushes boundaries and still provides us with an absolutely bad boy clubbing scene...

First up... Number 1... Numero Uno!

Thankyou, much love and safe journey to all the lovely Leeds people who have DANCED mega mega hard ALL SUMMER!!!

Every Thursday I must say it has been a pleasure to DJ to you wonderful people! Honestly... no matter where we go in the world it is very difficult for anywhere to compete with the atmosphere created 52 weeks a year on a Thursday @ HABIT!!!

(Anyone who shacked out this summer give yourself a huge pat-a-ti-pat-pat on the back)
