ARTIST SPOTLIGHT // DIG THIS

Dig This came together in 2021 after years as residents individually for their respected Zuku party in Liverpool.

Obsessed with music and digging alike, the pair have developed a keen ear for
underground sounds, which has seen them grace some special dance floors over
the past few years. Glastonbury, Fabric, Gottwood & The Loft, to name a few.
Dig This are the true embodiment of vinyl culture and house music archaeology.

Known for their relentless digging and unearthing of rare, forgotten, and genre-
defying gems, they’ve carved out a niche for themselves in the UK underground scene.

essence of club culture.
Never ones to follow trends, Dig This bring an analog soul to digital spaces,
spinning records that tell stories, evoke emotion, and make dancefloors pulse with
authenticity. Expect nothing but pure vinyl, deep crates, and a reverence for the
roots of the sound.With sets that flow seamlessly between deep, dusty grooves and raw, unpolished house beats, their performances feel like intimate journeys into the

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT /// RYAN INGLEBY

Our second Headliner for tomorrow nights first birthday speciale is Ryan Ingleby, a notoriously wicked selector, world class tune hunter and to put it into the words of a commenter on his simply brilliant mudd show - “this man could mix oil and water”

Ryan’s honed his skills holding residencies for esteemed Manchester outfit Persona, and many of you will know him from his residency at long-standing leeds favourite Mugpie

Ryans been someone we’ve wanted to get down since the party was conceived and we cant wait to hear whats waiting in his seemingly endless bag of absolute dancefloor damage.

Tix in the usual spot! See you on the dancefloor x

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT // LOUIE G

Our first headliner is Louie G, a relentless digger, seamless DJ and an absolute stalwart of the thriving manchester party scene

Louies dedication to digging is very obvious when you listen to the variety in his sets. The tunes pulled can vary from raw and pulsating to deep and groovy to dreamy and hypnotic - flowing through each with ease, yet keeping the dancefloor on its toes.

Its a privilege to welcome Louie to Imaginarium on Friday for what is set to be an absolute masterclass b2b with ryan for our first bday bash

This isnt one to miss! Tix in the usual spot x

Moving through to the early hours we’ve Invited and - both captains of a couple of leeds best parties (Wrong Uns and Compound) these two are no strangers to some of the best dancefloors in leeds and further afield. Expect bumpy garage house with a major dollop of naughty tackle.
