A mixed bag of all the good stuff.

DJ Eric Speak has been part of the Dig family and plays Smokestack two or three times a year, sharing the decks with Chico Malo. Latin, funk, jazz, soul, hip hop, Brazilian, reggae, ska and blues, all of it pulled from the kind of record collection that does the work for you.

Good music, good crowd, good drinks. Same as it ever was.

Smokestack, 159a Lower Briggate, Leeds.
