Clubbers young and old trip back 30 years, just like Marty McFly at 1.21gigawatts event, 1991 Revisited.

If you frequented The Orbit, Ark or The Gallery back in the early 90s, you may have seen DJ Sy mixing records on turntables to packed crowds, dancing together with a love for each other, the atmosphere and the music in equal measure.

Last Saturday saw Sy make the trip back to Leeds to do exactly that, one more time, scratching vinyl just like back in the day and reuniting with old friends to give Leeds what must have been the best night out in 25 years.

Apart from the odd phone streaming live for the world to see this epic event, there wasn’t anyone on their phone in sight, nor was anyone standing still, the music gave everyone the energy to keep dancing all night.
