Sundissential was a popular clubbing destination in Birmingham and Leeds in the 1990s and 2000s. It was known for its colorful dress code and hard dance music. 

  • Sundissential opened in Birmingham in November 1996.

  • Sundissential was very unique and groundbreaking for Birmingham at the time.

  • The company's ownership changed hands before a comeback in 2017.

  • A Sundissential North event was held at Leeds' Mint Club in 2017.

  • In 2020, a grant was given to Sundissential to support the planning of their 25th Anniversary Event Programme.

Sundissential emerged as a significant force within the UK's hard house and trance music landscape during the late 1990s and early 2000s. The brand became synonymous with large-scale, high-energy club nights and events, drawing crowds with its distinctive sound. These gatherings served as a platform for prominent DJs of the era, including Nick Rafferty, Andy Farley, Lisa Lashes, and Paul Kershaw, all of whom contributed to the vibrant atmosphere that defined Sundissential.

Beyond its events, Sundissential also made its mark through music releases, most notably the album "Sundissential: The Album!" This compilation encapsulated the essence of the Sundissential experience, featuring a collection of tracks that resonated with the brand's dedicated fanbase. In addition to the album, Sundissential released various EPs, further solidifying its presence in the music scene.

Ultimately, Sundissential's legacy lies in its contribution to the UK's dance music culture. The brand's events and music releases left a lasting impression on fans of hard house and trance, and its name continues to evoke memories of a vibrant and energetic period in the scene's history.
