Warm-up
Get people moving, establish the musical direction and leave genuine headroom for the acts that follow.
Leeds D&B line-ups
A Leeds drum and bass set that fits the running order
A support set at a Leeds promoter night has a different job from a peak-time or closing slot. Tell me where I sit on the bill, what the crowd has bought into and what comes before and after me.
I use that information to shape the intensity, how quickly the set builds and where the biggest records belong. The point is to add to the night you are programming rather than play the same set regardless of the slot.
Warm-upSupportPeak-timeClosingFull-night
Support
Bridge the room from an earlier D&B set into a stronger direction without creating an awkward reset.
Main room
Push into heavier jump-up or tech D&B when the room is ready for the biggest part of the night.
Closing
Hold the floor through the final stretch and give the night a finish that feels intentional rather than simply stopping.
Drum & bass direction
Drum and bass built for the dancefloor
Audio Demon club sets stay focused on drum and bass, with liquid, jump-up and tech D&B selected around the room, the slot and the promoter brief.
You can give me a tight promoter brief or leave more room to react to the floor. Either way, the music is mixed as a set—not worked through like a pre-written party playlist.
Send Your Club BriefLIQUID D&BDeeper, rolling and melodic drum and bass for warm-up sets, early-room building and smoother transitions into heavier material.
JUMP-UPHigher-impact D&B for busy floors, peak-time energy and sets that need a more direct, upfront sound.
TECH D&BDarker, tighter and more technical drum and bass for specialist rooms, harder-edged sets and later-night pressure.
SET DIRECTIONLiquid, jump-up and tech can be blended around the slot while keeping the set firmly inside drum and bass.
Leeds roots
From Frequency FM to Metropolis Room 2
Leeds is part of the Audio Demon story, not simply another area I travel to. Frequency FM was based in Leeds, where I hosted a weekly late-night drum and bass and jungle show for several years.
That Leeds radio background also crossed into the club environment at Metropolis Room 2 with Frequency FM. Alongside later UK Bass Radio shows and BBC Radio 1Xtra support for an Audio Demon track, it gives the booking a genuine D&B history behind it.
Frequency FM · Leeds
Hosted a weekly late-night drum and bass and jungle show for several years, building long-form programming and set-pacing experience in Leeds.
Metropolis · Room 2
Played Room 2 at Metropolis with Frequency FM, taking that Leeds radio connection directly into a live club setting.
UK Bass Radio
Hosted a weekly show for years and later returned for further broadcasts, keeping the focus firmly on drum and bass beyond individual club bookings.
BBC Radio 1Xtra
Audio Demon track Threat received airplay from DJ Bailey, adding national D&B radio support to the wider artist history.
Where Audio Demon fits
The Leeds D&B bookings Audio Demon fits best
From one defined slot on a promoter bill to a longer specialist session, the booking can be shaped around how much of the Leeds night you need me to cover.
Promoter bill slots
A defined warm-up, support, peak-time or closing slot on an existing Leeds D&B line-up, with the role agreed before the night.
Specialist venue nights
Focused D&B sets for Leeds bars, clubs and specialist rooms where drum and bass is the reason the crowd is there.
Private club takeovers
Club-style private hires where you want the night built around drum and bass rather than a mixed-genre mobile-DJ format.
Extended D&B sessions
A longer booking that can move from deeper liquid into heavier jump-up or tech as the room fills and the night develops.
Booking is direct with Aidy Smith.
There is no agency hand-off. The person you discuss the running order, D&B direction and equipment with is the DJ who turns up and plays the set.
Leeds booking brief
Send the details a Leeds club booking actually needs
A one-hour guest slot using an installed booth is a different job from a full-night booking with PA and lighting. Send the useful information up front and I can quote the right job rather than guessing.

Before you book
Club Night DJ Leeds FAQ
Useful answers for promoters, venue managers and anyone planning a drum and bass club night in Leeds.
Audio Demon sets focus on drum and bass: liquid, jump-up and tech D&B. The balance depends on the promoter brief, the room and where the set sits in the running order rather than using one fixed playlist.
Yes. Tell me where the slot sits in the running order and who plays before and after. A warm-up leaves room for the night to grow, a peak-time set can hit harder and a closing set needs to keep the floor while still landing the night properly.
Yes. Full-night drum and bass bookings can be discussed where one DJ is responsible for the wider music journey rather than a single guest slot. Tell me the opening time, finish time and the kind of D&B crowd you are programming for.
Yes, where the installed booth is suitable. Send the CDJ models, mixer model, booth-monitor details and any house rules before the event so compatibility is confirmed in advance.
Yes. For smaller venues or private club-style events without a suitable installed system, a professional PA, DJ booth and event lighting can be supplied as part of a wider quoted setup.
Yes. Club-night bookings on this page are focused on drum and bass and are played under the Audio Demon identity: liquid, jump-up and tech D&B rather than a mixed-genre club set.
Requests can be considered when they fit the promoter brief, the venue and what is working on the floor. A club booking is still mixed around the direction of the night rather than becoming a request-by-request playlist.
Audio Demon full-setup club packages start from £349.99. Artist or guest-set bookings using suitable venue equipment can be quoted individually because a short guest slot is different from providing a complete DJ, sound and lighting setup. Send the date, venue, set time, role and equipment details so the correct route can be confirmed. Travel is included within 5 road miles of my Bradford base, then charged at £2.50 per additional one-way road mile from the venue postcode.
Send the venue, date, running order, set time, expected audience, music direction, installed booth details, arrival instructions and a named contact. That is normally enough to confirm whether the booking is a good fit and price it properly.
Yes. The venue or promoter should confirm the sound policy, final set time and who has authority over any changes on the night. That keeps the finish controlled and avoids conflicting instructions in the booth.
