Gok has always been an inspiration to me and his weekly kitchen discos have really kept my spirits up. It’s an honour that he chose Leeds to launch this amazing event and I cannot wait to play alongside him, Kudo & Fish and The Roscoe Brothers.’’ Written by Lukas Rafael Hespanhol Ruiz, Adam Kershen, Andrew Polychronopoulos, Cesar Souza, Elise LeGrow & Brian West
