Today two of the UK's leading underground club promoters are proud to announce that they will merge company.

Dan Blackledge's Wax:On and Mark Newton & Wilf Gregory's Metropolis proudly join forces to launch Electronic Music Group Ltd. forming what already promises to be a company dedicated to keeping the UK club scene vibrant, forward thinking and exciting

With a series of road-block events and stellar music releases quickly filling the Autumn calendar, the new company will schedule, book and promote a range of events including Annie Mac presents..., Reclaim The Dancefloor Ibiza & UK, Hospitality Leeds, Cocoon Newcastle, Musicology Leeds an Jagerbomb, alongside new events under their own brands, Wax:On and Metropolis.

Barely off the mark the pair can already announce their first joint event, which will certify their reputation as two leading innovators in UK club event promotions.

On September 25th Leeds University plays host to what is set to be one of the best parties of the year and one of the biggest of it's kind at the venue.

Beyond September 25th, events of equal calibre are already being scheduled in with line-ups.
