DEAD EH! Part IV Halloween with Special Guest: LUKE UNA

We're incredibly excited to welcome the one and only Homoelectric's Luke Una to The Brickyard for the very first time.

This is one for the true house heads – absolutely not to be missed.

Luke Una stands as one of the UK's most expressive and soulful musical curators – a DJ and storyteller whose four decades in underground culture have shaped dancefloors, airwaves and entire communities.

From his formative years in Sheffield to becoming a central figure in Manchester's creative landscape, Luke has built a career on emotional connection, deep musical knowledge and an unfiltered passion for late-night musical discovery.

Rising to prominence through the legendary Electric Chair and Homoelectric nights, Luke is also the founder of Electric Elephant (one of the original Croatian festivals) and Homobloc (Manchester's queer party for 10,000 souls), as well as one half of the iconic The Unabombers. Throughout his career, he has helped define an eclectic, inclusive and genre-defying approach to club culture, creating spaces rooted in love and liberation.

In recent years, Luke's É Soul Cultura project has evolved into a record label, event series and compilation brand dedicated to spiritual jazz, Brazilian rhythms, cosmic psychedelia, machine soul, bass-buggin' futurism, astral jazz dance, deep house, black-heart disco, hi-tech soul, outer-space techno and everything in between.

His acclaimed compilations have introduced a new generation to rare, emotional and cross-cultural gems, earning him a reputation as one of the most trusted selectors in contemporary music. His É Soul Cultura edits have become favourites among tastemakers and devoted listeners alike.

In 2026, the world will hear original music from Luke as he continues to spend time in the studio.

A regular at festivals and venues including Glastonbury, We Out Here, Fabric, KOKO, Klymax, Houghton, Love International, Southport Soul Weekender, The Warehouse Project, Heideglühen, SunceBeat and many more, Luke continues to bring his expansive musical universe to audiences across the globe.

Over the past 12 months, Luke has enjoyed a sold-out residency at Night Tales in London, delivered a BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix that was widely praised as one of the best in recent memory, returned to live radio with Gilles Peterson's Worldwide FM, and played impeccably curated six- to eight-hour sets at some of the world's most respected venues, including Giant Steps, OM and The Bridge in Tokyo.

The É Soul Cultura festival stage takeovers have become must-visit destinations, renowned for their joyful, uplifting atmosphere and the unique connection they create between DJs and dancers alike.

Whether behind the decks, on the radio, releasing records, creating unforgettable underground events or sharing his gift for storytelling, Luke remains a guiding voice for those seeking music with spirit, warmth and authenticity.

Luke Una's new album marks the next chapter in a lifelong mission: to share music that moves the body, opens the heart and connects communities across borders and generations.
