News The Next Mutate is Saturday August 16th Join us for another fantastic Wendy House... News Archive... If you email Rob r.d.spring@leeds.ac.uk before this Saturday 28th June, you can get in to Slinky at Leeds University Union (where Wendy House takes place) for a tenner on the door which is a 3 quid discount, just email and say you're a Wendy house customer and they'll put your name down. :-) Slinky features some of the worlds top Hard House and Hard Trance DJs and the likes of BK and Lee Haslam regularly get played at Mutate. Our 10th Birthday Party was on Saturday May 17th. This was a sell out and amzing atmosphere event with over 1600 people from all over the UK in attendance. Due to being ill at very short notice we are sad to say that Ronan Harris could not DJ here on the 10th Birthday event. We only found out hours before the event was supposed to take place and this has been totally out of our control. FLOOR 1: Party darkly to darker Alternative favourites in the main "Stylus" room with all 3 resident DJs, who were there at the beginning! FLOOR 2: Mutate moved to the larger Mine room for a one off,. FLOOR 3: Was a one off request friendly mainstream and extreme metal room, representing all the requests we've had recently for heavier tunes, with 3 top UK DJs: Traumahound (Stormblast, Sheffield), Bug ( Devastator, Leeds), spike (Assault, Nottingham). This was a quite amazing celebration of 10 years of The Wendy House.
March and April were amazingly packed events. See our setlists here. Saturday Feb 16th was our late Valentines day special ... January 19th we had over 1100 people from all over the UK in attendence! Wow what a night! We can confirm that we have a Judas Coven DJ set (Ex-Lab4) lined up in the Mutate room again on Sat December 15th!! We had so much fun in September, we thought we'd have him back... :-) Adam needs little introduction. Having been one of the founding members of Lab 4 and having DJed all over the world, his music has been played by all the top global Hard Dance DJs. He absolutely ripped the roof off at Mutate in September... and this should be no different!! We may not have access to the larger Mine room as previous advertised and we will be in our usual room, but rest assured the Mutate Xmas party is going to be an enormous, pounding fun night! October: DJ Echo was back from his world tour with Combichrist and VNV Nation earlier in the year with his band Modulate... September: We had a guest DJ set from non other than the internationally renowned Adam from Judas Coven and ex Lab 4 whilst DJ echo is touring with Combichrist in his band Modulate during September. DJ echo was touring with Combichrist in his band Modulate during August and Septmeber, but we had fantastic guest DJs to make up for it. On August 18th it's DJ n0_nAMe from BEDLAM in Glasgow. August: Join us for this month's pounding dose of dance floor filling industrial and hard dance music. DJ Echo will be with us again this month but will be jetting off to the US with Combichrist on their tour in August and September. See details of his already highly acclaimed industrial band Modulate here. June: There will be details very soon on the site about some amazing guest DJs in the coming months (including a certain ex member of Lab 4 at our September event)... Mutate website. Check out last month's Mutate setlist here.... For downloadable MUTATE DJ mixes and profiles look here.
May: We had loads going on for our MUTATE birthday celebrations: BOOZE UP AND RIOT!! We had a few copies of the new Caustic album 'Booze up and riot'
to give away as well as some posters, courtesy of those lovely people
at Crunchpod. For those unfamiliar with Caustic: Caustic have become
one of the most ironic bands in the electronic music genre. After
finishing up their playing one show and getting kicked off tour
in support of KMFDM in the autumn of 2006, Caustic earned even more
notoriety among fans of industrial rock who had previously never
heard of them. "Booze Up And Riot", is an explosive barrage
of corrosive beats, leering vocals, and acidic melodies : A high
energy, adrenaline charged piece of sonic battery...Highly recommended!!!
You can catch Caustic at Infest in Bradford this year making his
UK debut. Wendy House and Mutate's DJ Glenn is DJing at the opening night of "Darkside" which is a new EBM / trance night being put on by the Darkside crew at the Sinners room at Leeds Rios, Saturday 5th May. Leeds Rios is a new 3 room, 1650 capacity live venue opening in Leeds in May at the Grand Arcade mall, opposite The Atrium, near Gatecrasher's "Discotheque". Deathstars are playing in the live venue that night as well. DJ Echo's band Modulate are currently touring europe with VNV Nation... see the website: www.modulateonline.com Saturday March 17th was a St Patricks Day special this month!! Saturday February 17th was a packed and very bouncy event!! Saturday January 20th was our 1st Mutate of 2007 and was an amazing atmosphere!! December 16th - was our fantastic Xmas special!! We're back to the full capacity and the "normal" format of using the usual Stylus main room and the new Pulse room this month with all the building work complete for a new look Wendy House venue. Mutate had it's last night in Mine in July, for the forseeable future. In August it moves to it's brand new room upstairs. This is a 350 capacity venue, slightly smaller than the old "Mine" room and is shaping up rather nicely to be a fantastic new home for us. Mutate is proud to announce that we are holding the E.S.A. Album Launch party on August 19th. E.S.A's debut album 'devotion, discipline and denial' will be coming out on Hive records on 25th July and we will have giveaways to celebrate at August's Mutate. Bonus competition: As always we have an online competition here - this month we have a bonus competition. At the August event the Mutate Room is holding an album launch for the latest compilation by LA based club, Das Bunker with copies of the album to give away as prizes. This compilation features our own DJ Echo's Modulate project along with ESA. Email us at with the subject line "Das Bunker comp" and answer the following question: "How old will The Wendy House be NEXT birthday?" The first 3 correct answers will win. The lucky winners will have their names taken down and will be able to collect their CD from the Mutate DJ booth in it's new upstairs room. This 2xCD featured 28 tracks from both established stars of the scene like Combichrist, Imperative Reaction and Soman as well as soon to be well known acts Captive of Society, W.A.S.T.E. and Modulate. Full details here. July was our last event in the "Mine venue. We're looking forward to our new home! The Next Mutate is Saturday June 17th. This is our first event of the Summer and we're looking forward to as much of a storming night as we had at our May event... photos of which are on The Wendy House website. During the Summer the Leeds University Union venue is being substantially upgraded. This does mean that The Wendy House will soon once more becomes a 2 room venue. In August Mutate will move back to the substantially enlarged and totally refurbished "Bar Coda" room. The current "Mine" venue that we currently live in will no longer be part of The Wendy House but will be run as a seperate club night by different promoters with a different ticket price. We will be playing the same great music and we will still provide one of the biggest and the best dark alternative nights in the UK despite these slight changes.
