Catalogue note
Launch flyer for Pyramid Promotions’ Friday-night Seduction series at the Lazerdrome in Peckham, opening 11 December 1992. The reverse explicitly frames the night as a revival of house supported by its “newer sister, Garage”, separating programming into a House Arena and Garage Suite. That contemporary language is unusually valuable evidence of London’s house-to-garage transition before UK garage became a fully codified mid-1990s genre. The flyer is further strengthened by signed Junior Tomlin artwork and the presence of Matt 'Jam' Lamont in the Garage Suite immediately before the period in which he became a central figure in the emerging UK garage scene.
Advertised programme: 11 December 1992 — House: Dominic; Face; Richie Fingers. Garage: Master P; Lindon C; Matt “Jam” Lamont; Bobby & Steve; Chrissy T. 18 December — House: Frankie “Shag” Bones; Judge Jules; Alex P. Garage: Aubury; Tony Trax; Matt “Jam” Lamont; Master P. 8 January 1993 — House: Tintin; Face; Matthew B. Garage: Stuart C. McClellan; Louis G & G Max; Bobby & Steve. 15 January — House: Tamsin; Dominic; Shaggy & Breeze. Garage: Master P; Mr Benn; Stuart Dashwood; Chrissy T. Live PAs advertised as still to be confirmed.
Historical context: Pyramid Promotions explicitly presents a house revival supported by garage, distributed across a House Arena and Garage Suite. The late-entry discount and alcohol-free rule give a more specific picture of the night than a retrospective genre label. Matt “Jam” Lamont connects the December Garage Suite bill to Peace Fest 93’s Garage Groove room; these printed bookings document a shared circuit without claiming that the two events had identical musical policies.

Further sources
Event details are drawn from the held object and the qualified catalogue research above. A printed bill establishes an advertised booking, not confirmation that a performer appeared.
Why this object matters
The launch flyer’s explicit House Arena/Garage Suite distinction and contemporary 'newer sister' language provide unusually early direct evidence of London's house-to-garage transition. Signed Tomlin artwork and Lamont's billing strengthen an already specific historical case.
Evidence limits: No new physical inspection or collation was performed. Copy-specific conclusions remain limited to the retained catalogue and accession evidence.
