Friday, Saturday, Sunday: the three named DJ nights from INK's own listings

The archived VIP RnB, House and Hip Hop Classics page, dated by the Wayback Machine to February 2018, lists a specific weekly schedule by name: Fridays, Runway, RnB, Hip Hop and Garage Classics from DJ Stylus, described on the page as a Radio 1Xtra DJ. Saturdays, Dedicated To The Decorated, with DJ 2Kind playing motown, funk and retro RnB from early, and DJ OP playing upfront VIP RnB, House and club anthems until late. Sundays, Sunday Sessions, with Dom Townsend, Tom Buck and Mick Willow playing house from 10pm to 4am.

Wave one's note on INK Gold and the archived Sunday-session offer covers the 25 per cent discount card tied to Sunday nights, but does not name any of these DJs. This note stays with the lineup itself, as the 2018 page prints it.

Fridays: Runway and a named radio DJ

Runway is the name the page gives Friday's night, with a genre description of RnB, Hip Hop and Garage Classics and a single named DJ, DJ Stylus, credited on the same page as a Radio 1Xtra DJ. The events page covered separately in this project's restoration work also shows an archived Friday poster advertising Runway, confirming the name recurs across more than one of the venue's own archived pages.

No door time or end time is given for Runway on this page; the schedule gives only the night of the week and the genre and DJ description, the same level of detail the page gives for the other two nights.

A Radio 1Xtra credit, if accurate, places DJ Stylus on a national station's own roster, a step beyond a purely local residency; the page gives no further biographical detail beyond that one credit, and this note does not add to it. Garage is the one genre named for Friday that does not reappear in either Saturday's or Sunday's own descriptions, making Runway the only one of the three nights with that specific sound in its stated mix.

Saturdays: Dedicated To The Decorated, two DJs across the evening

Saturday's night carries its own name, Dedicated To The Decorated, and splits across two credited DJs rather than one: DJ 2Kind earlier in the evening, described as playing motown, funk and retro RnB, and DJ OP later, playing upfront VIP RnB, House and club anthems. The page's own phrasing, from early and until late, marks a handover between the two sets without giving a specific changeover time.

This same name, Dedicated To The Decorated, also appears on the venue's own homepage imagery used elsewhere in this restoration, confirming it as a recurring, named fixture rather than a one-off description written only for this page.

Motown, funk and retro RnB for the earlier set against upfront VIP RnB, House and club anthems for the later one describes a night that opens slower and warmer before moving toward a more club-oriented sound as the evening goes on, by the page's own choice of genre words for each half. Two credited names for one night is also the only instance of a shared billing among the three nights; Friday and Sunday each credit their DJs as a single block rather than splitting the evening explicitly in two.

Sundays: three named DJs and a printed finish time

Sunday Sessions is the only one of the three nights where the page gives a specific run of hours: 10pm to 4am. Three DJs are credited together rather than split by time of night: Dom Townsend, Tom Buck and Mick Willow, all playing house. No individual set order is given among the three names, and the page does not say whether all three played every Sunday or rotated across different weeks of the month.

Wave one's own note on INK Gold already covers the 25 per cent discount offer tied to Sunday nights, drawn from a different archived page. Neither page cross-references the other; the discount page does not name these three DJs, and this page does not mention the discount. A visitor combining both notes would know both why a Sunday table might cost less and who was likely to be playing it, a combination neither archived page provides on its own. Three named DJs for one night is also the largest number of credited performers this page gives for any single evening across the week.

What the three nights share and where they differ

All three nights are built around a house, RnB or hip hop base, varying the exact genre mix and the credited names rather than changing the venue's underlying music identity. Saturday is the only night with two named DJs handing over across the evening rather than one act or one named group running the whole night.

Only Sunday carries a specific printed finish time, 4am, on this page; Friday and Saturday are described by genre and DJ only, without hours. Whether that reflects an actual difference in closing times or simply an inconsistency in how the page was written is not something the archive resolves. Sunday also being the only night with a named discount card, as wave one's own INK Gold note already covers, gives that one night more documented detail overall than either Friday or Saturday receives anywhere in this wave's sources.

The same page also names Loco Club's own afterparty, running from 11pm to 6am, as a continuation past whichever of these three nights a visitor attends — a detail that companion note in this wave covers in full.

A night schedule as part of INK's documented identity

Three named nights, each with its own title and its own credited DJs, is a more specific level of detail than wave one's ten notes draw on anywhere; those notes work from the tables, private-hire, dress-code and Mile High pages, none of which name an individual performer. This page is, in this wave's reading, the only source naming any of INK's DJs directly.

None of the archived pages this wave has read state whether these three named nights, under these exact names, were still running by the time of the venue's 2019 packages page, covered in a separate note in this wave, or its later blog posts. This note treats the schedule as a record of February 2018, not a current booking. A visitor relying on these exact names today would be relying on a specific, dated snapshot of the venue's own programming, not on anything confirmed current. Night names and DJ bookings are, by their nature, among the more changeable details a venue's own site can carry, more so than a fixed address or a dress code, and this note treats that volatility as expected rather than surprising. A later note matches these same three nights to a multi-night Lancashire stay rather than a single evening.
