2. About Kissdafunk
• The brainchild of International DJ Rob Tissera and Glyn Tolley,
KDF started life at the Mint Club, Leeds in January 2004. Both
decided to set it up after they noticed there was a gap in the
market for a night that playing good house music that wasn’t
pretentious. A night where people could really let their hair down.
The aim was to recreate the vibe of the Hacienda but with an up-
to-date twist.
• From day one KDF hit the spot immediately, cultivating a firm and
dedicated fan base; with word soon spreading. By its first birthday
it was the place to be, attracting headliners such as David
Guetta, which won an HMA. Since then it’s never looked back.
• Five years on and it’s welcomed some of the biggest names in
house, won awards, completed a successful season in Ibiza,
released its on single and two albums, while travelling the world.
• 2009 will see it return to Ibiza with the world famous
Judgement Sundays and continue to welcome the biggest
names as David Guetta, Steve Angello, Seb Ingrosso.

10. What Press & DJs Say?
• The crowd at Kissdafunk is amazing, reminding me of the
acid house days,’David Guetta (Winner of Best House
Dj, House Music Awards 2005)
• A music policy that goes from funky house to electro and
techier stuff means it stands out from the competition. To
be honest I’ would rather eat my own hand than go to
99% of the house nights in the UK. They are pretty much
all rubbish and ruled by soul destroying funky house.
KDF is different, it’s about a party so there’’ is never a dull
record.’ Mixmag Features Editor Gavin Herlihy

11. What Press & DJs Say?
Ibiza is one of my tips for 2008’
Hugh Garry on the Zane Lowe Kissdafunk is one of the
show, daytime Radio One (Jan clubbing success stories of
2008) the past few years’ Andi
Durrant, Galaxy FM (Jan
2008)
Kissdafunk is my
favourite place to play in
the UK’ Steve Angello
(Nov ’09)
I knew KDF had made an impact but it
wasn’t until we teamed up with then in
Ibiza that they were the party of the
decade” Judge Jules

12. What The Fans Say?
• Kissdafunk at Kanya in Ibiza last year was the best
night I went to in Ibiza. I hope they do it again in 2007;
I’ll be there every day. Amy, Nov’08
• The Kissdafunk Boxing Day party just gone was
probably the best KDF yet. It just keeps getting better.
Daniel,Jan’08
• Laidback Luke and Steve Angello was definitely my
favourite clubbing night ever. Nov 08
• There's no doubt it’s a great night - there's no such
thing as a bad Kiss night…the atmosphere is unique.
Judith, Dec ’08
• What a night. Off-the-hook is the only explanation.
Best night of my life Mark, Nov ’08

13. The KDF Crowd
• The typical KDF goer is from about 19 to late
20s. It attracts a well turned out group who are
trendy, friendly & love to have fun. They have a
zest for life and love to let their hair down.
Forming a mixture of students, professionals and
music lovers, they are musically open minded &
knowledgeable and are just as likely to be at a
Kissdafunk one night and a band, pop concert or
a trance night the next
• KDF Leeds not only attracts crowds from Leeds
and Yorkshire but from throughout the UK with
people often travelling from as far away as
Scotland, Plymouth and overseas to enjoy the
KDF experience; often queuing two hours to get
in.

14. Music Policy
• KDF’s music policy is to play the best cutting-
edge house. It must create a party and make
you want to dance. Whether it is a vocal
stormer, a driving tech house track or a minimal
techno offering, it doesn’t matter as long as it
vibrant and gets people on the dance floor. The
DJs invited to play reflect this music policy.
• The music range stretches from vocal, jackin’,
electro, sexy grooves and chunky basslines with
a little bit of tech house and minimal thrown in.
The emphasis is on playing the best new music.
There is only one rule, it must make you dance.
