The scene in Hull

Pork Recordings, founded in Hull in the early 1990s by David Brennand and Steve Cobby, and Fila Brazillia - the Hull duo signed to it - built a genuinely distinctive downtempo and trip-hop sound that stood apart from the house and techno scenes dominating most other UK cities at the time.

That's a different kind of electronic music history to a big warehouse-rave city, but it's a real one - Hull's scene has always leaned toward the considered and the melodic rather than peak-time and loud, and that character hasn't really gone away.

Where it happens

The city centre carries most of the current circuit, a compact enough area for a night out to happen entirely on foot.

When you buy here, the price you see is the price you pay, with no booking fee added at checkout, and your ticket is a QR code on your phone that you show at the door.
