We’re offering Leeds signature Samosa Chaat by non-other than Manjit’s Kitchen alongside a Bottomless Mimosa* option.
We’re excited to invite COMPLEXION to headline at our new home at Sheaf St. Leeds. playing to a crowd of open-minded summer-vibes music loverds. Also making his debut with WTD! Is Daytimers most talented producer DARAMA. We also had to bring back our Rave Rani, JAMEELA and of course not forgetting our ye ol’ faithful turntablist, MANKEEPITDEEP.

COMPLEXION
Complexion’s name has been spreading throughout the urban music scene creating opportunities at the flagship London launch of the Puma X BAPE collaboration; spin with Adidas & Stormzy in Berlin and perform with RZA, the mastermind behind the legendary Wu Tang Clan.
After touring with acclaimed rapper Little Simz (on the Schoolboy Q Oxymoron tour) and Bonkaz across Europe and Australia, Complexion showcased his versatility with two impressive Boiler Room performances to add to his resume alongside A$AP Mob & Action Bronson. As the host of Future Wave on BBC 1Xtra, Complexion guest mixes have been showcased by Mistajam, Clara Amfo, Nick Bright, BBC Asian Network & Rinse FM’s Plastician.
Playing an open-format scratch turntablist style, his sets cover a wide spectrum of hip-hop, trap, grime, commercial R&B, house and club styles.

DARAMA
London-based DJ and producer Darama has had quite an introduction to the underground electronic music scene, with his unique blend of South Asian percussion and UK bass-heavy sounds gaining the attention of DJs and dancefloors across the country. After releasing a slew of club-ready edits, his position as one of the UK’s most exciting new producers was firmly cemented when a clip of his track played at the Daytimers Boiler Room event went viral.
Born to Punjabi parents, Darama’s heritage and influences can be heard throughout his music – where garage, grime, and UK funky meet frenetic South Asian rhythms to create an instantly recognisable sound. Many of his unreleased, highly sought-after dubs have become staples across Rinse, the BBC, and Reprezent, and his role as a core member of the Daytimers collective has seen him come to the fore as one of the emerging talents in the burgeoning British Asian underground scene. Never was this more apparent than at his genre defying Mixmag Lab, where he proved his sets have the same intangible energy as his tunes.

JAMEELA
Local resident Jameela is no stranger to playing bass heavy sounds around the city to hundreds of ravers each week! A regular at Wire, Headrow House and other notable venues across the City, Jameela is also a part of all-female local DJ community Slut Drop who are known for making plenty of noise around Leeds.

MANKEEPITDEEP
Leeds very own rising star, DJ, Producer, and Mango Lassi Drinker, Mankeepitdeep is a purist in all that’s bass, mixing and blending sounds from his Indian origins with trippy DnB, Dubstep and Garage. After contributing on Daytimers original compilation and featuring his heavy bass production ‘When life gives you lemons make nimbu paani’ on DJ Manara’s BBC Asian Network show his unique style is one to be heard.
