Ralph is best known as the original resident DJ at the legendary Back To Basics club in Leeds. This has now become one of the most famous clubs on the planet. Lawson played the very first record there and implemented the classic long sets that became his trademark.
Always unique his style has developed over the years to become what is know worldwide as the 2020sound, giving reference to thelabel he created in 1995 which has also gone on to be one of the very best electronic music labels inthe world. From the late 90s, "the UK's best kept secret was out" and requests to tour came in from all over the world. Never one to give into fashion he has stayed true to the spirit of House Music withalways a cutting electro funk edge.

I have been asked to be monthly resident for the second summer running at We Love Space on Sundays. We Love asked me to make a mix that captures what I am feeling for this season. Of course the tracks will change over the coming weeks but here is a selection of music mixed firmly with that legendary Terrace in mind. The sun totally changes how music sounds to me and these tracks are some that I feel will be part of the soundtrack at Space this summer.
We are getting thrown straight into the deep end on June 19th as we open with a 2020takeover with 2020Soundsystem Live, Ralph Lawson and Moodymanc for five hours, alongside Tensnake and Groove Armada. I haven't slept all week, put it that way.
