Satisfaction

The Early Days

Satisfaction began life in 1998 in the tiny backroom of Hull University's Saturday Night "Disco". An accessible style and retro sound gained it a regular following among students who came to dance and listen to songs that couldn't be heard at other clubs. Before finding its current home at Pozition Satisfaction has enjoyed residencies at The Piper Club and most notoriously at the now defunct Fez Club where along with Shiver it won the company's club night of the year award in 2002.

On The Road

The sound of Satisfaction is much in demand on some of the country's more discerning dancefloors and its resident DJ's have played at clubs in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds and York.

2006 saw the Satisfaction DJ’s make their festival debuts. First stop was the Leeds 2 day ‘Across The Tracks’ music festival, playing as part of a 50 artist line-up including Andy Smith, DJ Format, Roy Ayers and Back to Basics, plus an evening set for the after show party at the HiFi Club opening for a fantastic live blues performance from ‘Son of Dave’.

August was time to pack up their tents and head off to the Big Chill Festival, where, in the ‘Funkywormhole Sound System’ marquee, Satisfaction played alongside Jerry Dammers, Don Letts and DJ Derek.

Summer 2007 and Satisfaction was back on the road to Eastnor Castle and another Big Chill Festival. This time playing on the Rum Shack stage, opening up the weekend's proceedings with Funkywormhole ahead of sets from Biggabush, Mary Anne Hobbs and Skream

Next Steps

Meanwhile ... the Satisfaction DJs launched a sister night, Shakedown! This ran successfully between 2006 and 2008 at the Lamp bar; featuring a deeper, harder edged sound and bringing in guest DJs & live music. Shakedown also hosted New Year's Eve celebrations at the Lamp over two consecutive years before retiring the night and incorporating the wider range of music into the Satisfaction sound at Pozition. During the Shakedown years the Satisfaction DJs also accidentally attracted a number of national break-dancers who still continue to support Satisfaction.
