In 2006 he returned after almost 2 years away from the club, becoming involved with the promotion and running of the club once again.In January 2012 Passion ran a classics night playing trance music, which was almost a sell out. The DJ line up was made up of names from past and present that have played a part in its history: A mixture of old and new residents along with cutting edge new talent. Room 2 saw the return of Red Room Sessions and its famous residents Nick Correlli (MYNC Project) and DJ Canete. The club closed in 2013, but re-opened in 2017
