If any year epitomises what Mutant Movement is all about, it's 1981.
Retro Alternative classics from Positive Punk to Futurist & New Wave!!!
Since the very first MM in 2017, a huge part of each set list has been around 1981, the year that clubs discovered the synth and even Record Mirror ran a Futurist chart with input from DJs across the UK including Marten Read who first played The Human League at The Precinct in 1978 and built the Leeds scene whilst at Leeds Warehouse.
This is a 7 hour event and as ever with MM sets, it will start off with more underground tracks so if that's not your bag or you can't last 7 hours, you can be sure to be there for the climax if you come a little later!

This was the first year we covered with a Mutant Movement Anniversary DJ set back in 2017, it was a ton of fun and we're doing it again!
As with all MM sets, a few curveballs will be thrown in but there will be plenty of Punk as well as some of the big pop hits of the day.
If you came to MM1976 at Revolution, you know is was an even split of pop and alternative music, well this is gonna be different with around a 4:1 split in favour of alternative with plenty of Punk, New Wave and alternative icons such a Iggy & Bowie with just a few interludes of pop & rock!
Damned . Sex Pistols . Stranglers . Clash . Ramones . Jam . David Bowie . Cramps . Magazine . Iggy Pop . Blondie . Buzzcocks . Talking Heads . Althea & Donna . Motorhead . Penetration . Plastic Bertrand . Adverts . X-Ray Spex . Ian Dury . Warsaw (Joy Division) . Kraftwerk . Siouxsie & the Banshees . Elvis Costello & The Attractions . Dead Boys . Junior Murvin . Adam And The Ants . Devo . Donna Summer
and much more!

Leeds' favourite retro alternative parties have been held at various venues around the city with their 200th event selling out Brudenell Social Club last Summer. If you've never been, you don't know what you're missing and it's time you found out!
Being a special occasion, this Birthday DJ set will look back on the best of all the parties with DJ Mutant Movement selecting the cream of the crop from previous sets, some personal faves which you may have seen the Spotify list for his upcoming 60th Birthday to give you a clue but don't worry, apart from maybe the odd party favourite, it won't have the 70s disco which you may have heard at some of the Guilty Pleasures parties. By the way, anyone who has been or comes to Mutant Movement is invited to his 60th, details on his facebook page.
