Clubbers, DJs and producers remember Back To Basics as a club night in the history of house music. Still going strong (33 years and counting), the Leeds institution has been helmed by Dave Beer right from the start. Basics apparently gave UK debuts to US DJs such as Doc Martin, Derrick Carter and Francois K, and early opportunities to the likes of Daft Punk, Basement Jaxx and Groove Armada.
