March clubs and nightlife ft. Jacques Greene, Flow Theory, Swing Ting & more

Fri 17 Mar: Me Gusta @ Deaf Institute
Latin and Afro sounds abound at Me Gusta, veering away from their residency at Hold Fast to visit giant disco-ball specialists The Deaf Institute in order to host UK afro supergroup Afriquoi, combining live drumming with a DJ set. Joining the percussive madness is Berlin-based DJ and producer Daniel Haaksman, who makes his Manchester debut.
Tickets: £11 / £14 www.skiddle.com

Blowing my own trumpet here, but worthy of your attention as I’ve asked along special guest SNO for some back to back shenanigans. Expect hip hop, Afro, Latin, soul and more.
Tickets: Free entry

Sat 18 March: Flow Theory @ Hold Fast
A future beats melange down in the Hold Fast basement, where the vibe is always nice. Soulful, quirky bass selections from Parisian Senpu heads up the night, but the excellent selections of Whoeva?
