We welcome Doncaster Hero Mella Dee to the iconic Doncaster Warehouse. One of the most hard working and talented electronic musicians in the UK.

The prolific producer has consistently released a steady stream of EPs and singles on labels including Saoirse’s trUst Recordings, Pete Tong’s Three Six Zero and his own Warehouse Music has seen the Yorkshireman move from glitchy techno to euphoric synth laden house to joyous peak-time anthems; all the while becoming a favourite at clubs around the world including Berlin’s Berghain, Barcelona’s Nitsa club, and Ibiza’s Amnesia and taking his All Night Long parties everywhere from the big room Telegraph Building in Belfast to the intimate Sneaky Petes, Edinburgh. Growing up in South Yorkshire, his early introductions to music came via his parents’ northern soul collection and hardcore tape packs passed down by his older sister, before drum ‘n’ bass, dubstep, bassline and house and techno became a major fixture in his life as he started raving in Sheffield and Leeds in his late teens.

We welcome him back to Doncaster Warehouse, the venue behind the iconic ‘Techno Disco Tool’ artwork and a venue we know Mella Dee holds in high esteem. The Doncaster Warehouse is a very special one for us, one of the most decorated and long standing venues in the UK. A venue that has witnessed the ups and downs of the underground scene, a venue that gave the legendary Carl Cox his only UK residency and has been a source of inspiration for Yorkshire producers.

See you soon Doncaster ❤️‍🔥

THE SNAFU SS23 TEE HAS FINALLY DROPPED!

The ultra heavyweight GSM tee is the perfect summer tee. Representing both the SNAFU CREW and Autistica, with both the national su***de number and all of our acts up until now printed along the back.

We really weren't happy with the fit or quality of the older tee's so we went searching for the best quality we could find. This Tee genuinely feels incredible and we've managed to sort it for cheaper than before. All proceeds going toward Autistica to help all those with Autism live full-filling lives.

“I’LL BRING YOU FLOWERS, IN THE POURING RAIN”

Sweet Female Attitude [ ], the artist that single handedly soundtracked your Durham experience. Flowers was released in 2001 and has aged like fine wine. Their debut UKG track peaked at number 2 in the UK Top 40, and later went on to be crowned a platinum single. All during a time when dance music was undergoing a renaissance, much like it currently is.

Back in 2000 the Mancunian based collective were comprised of Mike Powell, DJ Shine MC and a then 17 year old Leanne Brown. Fast forward 23 years and over a hundred releases across multiple platforms SFA is still going strong and continuing their legacy through Leanne.

SFA are hard to pinpoint to a specific considering their huge release catalogue. All we do know is they’ve stuck to their classic roots. It’s hard to think of many artists that have had as much influence on the mainstream dance scene over the past 20 years than SFA. We invite them up to show them what Durham has to offer. Snafu & Rotate yet again to bring you another amazing party just like last time round. This time to kick off the post exam period in style.

As always, the usual chaos from us. Bring the energy.

We have a mega headliner to share with you all on Monday. We think you’re going to like it.

A deeper insight into why we're leaning toward SeatlabNFT as our ticket platform. In an interview with their CEO Ryan Kenny he reveals how NFT ticketing will become the future of ticketing.

The main reason we use Seatlab is because of the collectables we can offer our community and it allows us to throw some incredible secret set parties. We have very little interest in Blockchain, Crypto or anything related. Seatlab sorts all of that for us, we just want to throw the best parties for you all and reward our most loyal fans with unique collectables.

Durham has a serious problem on ticket scalping. Anyone should be able to access our events without overpaying. Scalpers are single handedly ruining the events sector. We're wanting to be part of the movement that gets rid of them.

For several years, ticketing fraud has been a persistent problem for the event industry. Scalpers use bots to sn**ch up tickets, leaving fans dry and

A little reminder of what’s gonna go down tomorrow night. Nothing but unhinged energy and chaos. Last time round Sammy Virji and Zero sent us into a frenzy.

This time tomorrow we hand it over to the illustrious & to take us on a sonic journey. Easily the most stacked lineup we’ve ever done.

Tickets are now running extremely low and we’re on course for another sell out.

Oh… don’t forget about our secret set. More info dropping soon 🤫

A huge thank you to the ratemyrave crew for the feature in their 'RMR Recommends'. They've selected us as the event of the weekend and we could not be more honoured. Rate my Rave has defined almost all of our raving experience, they've been pioneering the reporting element of the rave for some time now. A serious bucket list moment for us.

We're actually on for such a wicked event this Saturday. Collaborating with Chain Reaction Events has been such an honour. By far the most ambitious event we've ever done, and we can't wait to share the moment with you all.

Here’s where you should be raving this weekend

Our next show is just over a week away. You guys can expect the customary Snafu experience, stacked headliners, secret sets and as always, chaos.

Going through these photos from our last show has us feeling beyond grateful for you all. Every show we’ve done this year has been bouncing.

With our SNAFU #011 // Ross From Friends show being our heftiest lineup yet and collaborating with Newcastle’s most exciting brand we’re fully expecting this one to be our most memorable. We know you lot are gonna bring the energy, we’ve sorted the music, all thats left is to get us all raving under one roof again.

We still have very limited tickets available, so don’t miss out like we know so many of you did last time.
