Progress - Celebrating 34 Years

Progress is back in Derby on Saturday 5 December, celebrating 34 years with a night at Ultra Warehouse. It's a big one for the city's clubbing history: Progress has been around for more than three decades and helped put Derby on the map during the golden era of house music, with nights at The Wherehouse, The Conservatory, Eclipse and Time. Over those years it grew into more than just a club night, becoming a movement that shaped a generation of clubbers. Now it's returning to the city's newest event space, bringing together some of the DJs who helped define that era.

The line-up is a proper gathering of names from that period. Allister Whitehead, Fergie, Judge Jules, Pete Wye and Rob Tissera are all confirmed, with resident Joe Quinn on the decks too. There's also a special guest to be announced, so the bill will grow before the night actually arrives. It's a long run of DJs across the evening, and having them all on one bill is a rare thing for a Derby dance floor.

It runs from 5pm to 1am, so it's a late-starter that carries on well into the night. Last entry is 7pm, which is worth keeping in mind if you're planning to arrive later in the evening. The venue is Ultra Warehouse, 9 Downing Road, Derby DE21 6HA.
