Framework: Heavyweight new underground club night launching at Mint XL in Leeds

Promising a new chapter in forward-thinking electronic music and underground club culture, new event brand Framework is launching at Mint XL with a stacked lineup

A brand-new club night dedicated to forward-thinking electronic music and underground culture is set to launch at Mint XL, marking an ambitious new addition to the Leeds nightlife landscape.

Titled Framework, the venture aims to create an uncompromising platform for world-class selectors, emerging talent, and a crowd united by a genuine love of dancefloor exploration.

Rather than a single launch event, Framework has unveiled a stacked three-date winter series running through November and December inside Cage – Mint XL.

Setting the bar high from the outset, the series opens on November 20, with a heavyweight headline set from Hessle Audio co-founder Ben UFO.

Widely regarded as one of contemporary electronic music’s most respected and visionary DJs, Ben UFO is joined by Papa Nugs, alongside resident support from Annie Errez & Bobby ODonnell.

The momentum continues on November 28, with global underground favourite Nicolas Lutz taking control of the booth, accompanied by Junki Inoue, Annie Errez, and a back-to-back set from Bobby ODonnell & Phil Warner.

Rounding off the initial trilogy on December 19, Framework brings together Christian AB and Unai Trotti for a night of deep, hypnotic selections, with opening sets from Annie Errez & Bobby ODonnell and Ethan McNamara & Ryan Ingleby.

Spanning a broad spectrum of house, techno, leftfield electronics, and genre-defying selections, Framework aims to prioritise quality over convention across all three dates.

Rather than following commercial trends, the event is built around the idea that the best dancefloor experiences come from a genuine connection between music, space, and people.

With carefully curated line-ups, the night aims to create an environment where discovery takes centre stage, and the music speaks for itself.

Situated in the heart of the city's clubbing district, Mint XL provides the ideal backdrop as Framework begins establishing its distinct identity in Leeds.
