Noughties Sheffield club night Cargo returns in memory of “sorely missed” founder with all proceeds to CALM
Cargo club nights, started in 2006 by Mark Reed, James Maplepeck and Ryan Johnson, “pushed the envelope” of Sheffield’s electronic music scene.
In 2020, the Cargo brothers tragically lost Mark, are coming together once again tomorrow night (November 3) to host a reunion in his memory, and raise funds for CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably).

“Without Mark, there would be no Cargo which has made so many memories for hundreds of Sheffield clubbers over the years.
“It will be a poignant way to remember Mark’s contribution to Sheffield and signifies a moment in time that helped grow the electronic music scene in the city - which we are very proud to say has laid the foundations for what it is today’.
Cargo hosted the Sheffield debuts of electronic artists Kerri Chandler, Deetron and Axel Boman.
Cargo Reunion will be held at Bal Fashions on Friday (November 3), from 11pm to 4am, with DJs Kassian and GrowMore.
All proceeds from the £5 entry fee will go directly to CALM.
