What Are We About?

In the club - As promoters we aim to provide aclubbing experience that stimulates the senses, body and mind! To create anatmosphere where people can celebrate their youth, their energy, and theirsexuality and worship life through dance. If dancing is the physical expressionof emotion then music is what feelings sound like!

In the box - Many DJs today as they have lost sightof why they are there and have forgotten how to enjoy what they do? As DJs webelieve that you get back from a crowd what you give! Above all we like toplease the crowd and pride ourselves on not just being DJs but performers andmusicians alike. A DJ has the power control people’s emotions. A truly greatDJ, just for one moment, can make a whole room fall in love!

The Story So Far..

Who Built That House? is DJ/Promoter collectivefrom the North Westwho have been hosting nights together since 2004. After returning from Ibiza frustratedwith the lack of opportunities in the South Lakesarea, Sy Lyon decided the only way toprovide for himself and like minded people was to start holding eventsand so Who Built That House? was born! He soon joined forces with another localDJ (and now production partner) Phil Caine to promote their first nights. SoulFunk,showcased their upfront blend of Soulful American House and US Garage andUnderground DJs, was a night of Electro and Techno. From then on the partiesjust got bigger and better. During this time there wasn’t a major venue in thearea that they didn’t play at.

In Jan 2006 after two years successfully pioneeringthe South Lakesclub scene with WBTH?, theymoved to Manchester to further their careers where they quickly got a residency for“Underground DJs” at Joy Bar. Ironically once moving to Manchesterthey got a lot of new opportunities back in the South Lakesthe first being to host a big one off event at new venue in Barrow, The Canteen.Never one to turn down an opportunity they agreed to the challenging event and itwas aptly named, philosifunk. Due to the scale of the event they put together ahigh profile line up which included Paul Wilkins (Hed Kandi) and Jon Constantine(Kujay Da Da / Ibiza Residents). Needless to say the night was a success!

Unfortunately for Sy, half way through the yearPhil had to move back to the South Lakes to be Daddy.Subsequently he has branched off on his own to promote Underground DJs andconcentrate on production. Moving forward 2006 ended with a bang with Sy landinga new venue in Barrow an introducing a new night which was imply named HouseMusic, held at popular hang out The Empire. The first event was on ChristmasDay and was rocking with like minded hedonists!

2007 was a busy year for WBTH? with SoulFunk now atBar Five, House Music and new night Retrospect, both at the Empire. All threenights enjoyed a well supported and successful summer seasons of events. With UndergroundDJs no longer under the WBTH? umbrella something had to be to done to accommodatethe electronic music scene, Electric Kitchen was served! The first events were againheld at The Empire and whipped up an electric recipe with plenty of digitalflavour and one hell of a kick!

In need of a different challenge, Head Honcho Sy Lyon decided toleave Manchester and the SouthLakes area in his wake and relocate toLancaster. Withthis change SoulFunkcontinued with at new weekly residency at Mood, one of the hottest bars in thecity. There was also new weekly residencyfor Electric Kitchen at Cubawhich featured special guests John Kelly, Krysko (Warehouse Project),Miss Divine (La Vita) and the areas finest up and coming talent. Plus plenty ofvisual shenanigans including Dancers, Stilt Walkers, Fire Performers and AngleGrinders.

In 2008 now hosting events simply asWho Built That House?, combining individual music policies into a celebrationof House has seen the brand go from strength to strength in Lancaster. With a weekly residency at Cuba at thebeginning of the year as well as second year at Mood hosting exclusive eventsthroughout the summer it is proving to be the way forward in the area.

Thanks to everyone who has supported us so far, we all built that house!
