TV personality Gok Wan teams up with Yorkshire event companies for a live DJ stream in Leeds

'Isolation Nation presents 4 Corners of House' will take place on Saturday and feature house sets from some of the UK’s brightest DJ talent, including Gok himself.

Born during lockdown with the aim of lifting the nation's spirits, Isolation Nation quickly picked up a loyal following, with streaming figures topping 1m in recent weeks.

Realising he was onto something big, Gok decided to take Isolation Nation to the next level and set about planning the UK’s biggest virtual rave and having played some of his favourite DJ gigs in Leeds, Gok says he couldn’t think of a better city to stage his first large scale virtual Isolation Nation event.

‘’I’ve played numerous events in Leeds and the people are incredibly warm and really know how to party."

It will also include sets from Angel Lee, Kudo & Fish and The Roscoe Brothers as well as help from three Yorkshire event and party specialists.

Event Prop Hire will provide bespoke themed props and immersive backdrops giving the party a production scale worthy of prime-time TV; AV Matrix will facilitate the live streaming and provide DJ equipment and giant LED screens to bring the event to life and PR and events company Pink Gorilla Hairy Lemon are assisting with the event management and PR.

The show itself will take place from Event Prop Hire’s creative studio in Leeds and feature four DJ stations for each of the artists to perform. All four acts will be bringing their own unique flavour to the party and viewers can expect a mix of classic party bangers funky house, disco, and commercial house.

The show starts at 7pm and will be streamed via Select Radio and Facebook pages of the four acts. Any proceeds raised will go towards Feeding Britain, a charity created during the

pandemic to help feed low income families. It says that just £10 can help provide 30 meals.

Due to the recent demise of live events post-COVID, the three event companies have joined forces and are offering companies and private individuals the opportunity to stream live themed events and awards ceremonies straight into their front rooms and corporate offices.

Deborah De Vittoris, Co-Founder and Director of Pink Gorilla Hairy Lemon said: “Like many industries, the impact of COVID has been brutal to those working in events. Our whole

business is about bringing people together and the reality is that is not going to happen any time soon. In response to that, we looked to diversify our businesses by offering virtual events with a creative edge and we’re over the moon to be working with Gok.

‘’Not only is it helping a great cause while providing entertainment, but it also showcases what can be achieved virtually – which goes way beyond your average Zoom call. It’s also really rewarding to know that a high-profile London based celebrity is giving small businesses up north an amazing opportunity to showcase their talents.”
