The Orbit was the brainchild of Neil Harston and Darren Turner with the aim of bringing techno dance fans together from all walks of life.
It opened its doors for the first time at Woburn House in Ossett in June 1991 with a live PA from electronic dance music group Shades Of Rhythm. Just two months later the club night had moved down the road to the After Dark nightclub in Morley where it enjoyed a 12 year residency. Big names to play included Dave Angel and Mike Humphries. The night was resurrected at Wakefield’s Warehouse 23 in 2012 with four sell-out events and is held twice yearly in Leeds. Fast forward to 2023 and The Orbit is returning at Warehouse 23 on Saturday, November 4, bringing old friends back together with a line-up to remember.
