Renowned club DJ and former BBC Radio 1 presenter, Judge Jules, returns to East Lancashire next month to play a live set of blistering dance classics.
After a sell-out show back in March 2020, just before the first national lockdown, Judge Jules will return to St Mary’s Chambers in Rawtenstall on Saturday October 9.
For almost three decades Judge Jules has led the way in the world of dance music, and since kicking off his career behind the decks in 1987, he has ticked every box - as a DJ, producer, promoter, A&R, radio presenter, taste-maker and, more recently, a music specialist lawyer.
Widely recognised for influencing an entire generation with residencies on both Kiss FM and BBC Radio 1, to this day the Judge continues to be on the playlists of millions with his weekly radio show The Global Warm Up, which notches up 750,000 downloads every week via his podcast and is broadcast on more than 80 stations around the world.
A spokesperson for St Mary's Chambers said: "As a pioneer of the club scene, his passion and persona behind the decks, coupled with crowd connection and unrivalled track selection has earned Judge Jules a hardcore fanbase and unforgettable sets week-in week-out at the world’s most iconic clubs and festivals, including the UK’s Gatecrasher, Ministry of Sound, Global Gathering and Creamfields, as well as in countless overseas countries.
"In the studio, he has released more than 200 tracks, including 15 UK top 40 national charts hits, with countless more gracing the upper reaches of the dance charts."
Earning his place among DJ legends, Judge Jules has received accolades such as number one DJ (Mixmag), Best International DJ (Dancestar Awards), Best Radio DJ (Smirnoff’s Dancestars), and has consistently featured in the DJ Mag Top 100 poll, peaking at number three in the world, alongside some of the industry’s greatest.
Venue director John Patrick said: “We were extremely proud to welcome Judge Jules to our venue back in March 2020, and it was and still is our fastest selling show to date.
"He is a huge name on the clubbing scene and is one of the UK’s most recognisable DJ’s and we are ecstatic to bring him back to Rossendale for another live DJ set."
