Clubs of the Week ft Angie Stone, Riot Jazz, Dego, Hoya + MORE

Thu 24 Apr | Angie Stone | The Ritz
R&B and soul legend Angie Stone blesses Manchester with her presence this week, performing at The Ritz. One of the last acts from neo-soul’s golden period still performing at a high level, this show alongside her US-based band should be pretty spectacular. Support comes from Manchester’s own JP Cooper.

Fri 25 Apr | Riot Jazz | Antwerp Mansion
One of the UK’s most respected turntablists, Mr Thing helps the Riot Jazz launch Croatia-based festival Soundwave. His special set of funk 45s should complement the Riot Jazz Brass Band to the fullest, with Holy Moly & The Crackers and resident DJs Rich Reason and Coops rounding out the party

Sat 26 Apr | Hoya:Hoya ft Dego (pictured) | The Roadhouse
Huge booking for Hoya this month, as they bring the mighty Dego to The Roadhouse. Dego’s been involved at the forefront of many a musical movement in this country, but perhaps most notably for his work within the jungle and broken beat scenes. As part of 4 hero, and under solo aliases such as Tek 9 and Cousin Cockroach, he’s managed to influence generation after generation of music makers. This is a rare treat; if you go out to anything this week, make it this. Hoya residents Jon K, Jonny Dub, Illum Sphere & Krystal Klear will be building the vibe from early.

Mon 28 Apr | Outlook Festival Launch | Fac 251
The second launch party for a Croatian festival within a week, this time it’s the turn of Hit&Run to launch Outlook festival. With a heavier focus on the DnB and dubstep side of things, this lineup, headlined by the mighty Dub Phizix is more than fitting. Partner-in-crime, Chimpo is always a draw and the likes of Sam Binga, Dub Smugglers and Barely Legal will also be performing. The first wave of early birds have sold out already, so moving quickly on this would be recommended.
