Graeme Park is a British house music DJ and is widely credited as one of the original founders of the UK's rave/club scene, notably as a leading figure of The Haçienda club in Manchester, England.[2][3]

Beginnings

Park started out working in the Nottingham record shop, Select-a-Disc Records, from where his early forays into DJing were at The Garage Club (later The Kool Kat) in Nottingham, The Leadmill in Sheffield and other clubs in the Midlands and North of England.[4] It gained him an invite to join Mike Pickering (of M-People fame) at the decks of the renowned The Haçienda club, in 1987, where he played until the venue closed in June 1997.[4] Park and Pickering were credited with putting the club on the map with their successful club nights, notably hosting the visionary "Nude" night on Fridays.[5]

His long career first began in the early 1984 playing acid house around numerous bars and clubs in Nottingham. Park was the runner up to Danny Rampling in the inaugural Best DJ in the World Award by DJ Magazine in 1991.

24 Hour Party People

Park was a consultant on the film, 24 Hour Party People, and also appeared in it DJing on set alongside Steve Coogan who played the Factory Records boss Tony Wilson.[6]

DJ Magazine Awards

Artists are nominated to the DJ Magazine top 100 list for each year the public decides who they rank as the World's No. 1 DJ at the end of the poll. Park was the runner up in the inaugural award that ranked the World's No. 1 DJs in 1991.
