Manchester club guide FT DjRUM + LCY, Kylie Goes Berghain, HAAi and more

This April sees drum’n’bass venture to The Loft. Expect plenty of liquid from Irish veteran Calibre, as well as bass explorations across the board from two of Manchester’s finest DJ/producers on support, Henzo and Clemency.

After selling out its two debut parties, Kylie Goes Berghain returns to the Yes Pink Room with another full headline set of Kylie edits all made in-house – from electro to breaks and even UKG — it’s an unlikely pairing made in heaven. Support comes from Open to Close founder Rhod Parry and colecta, hot off the back of her debut party at Soup with Low End Activist.

With a highly anticipated album 2 out on Fri 25 Apr, this extended set from DjRUM couldn’t come at a better time – Easter Sunday has late one written all over it. His set for fabric on London Bridge during the pandemic shone a light on his inimitable turntablism – so it’s no wonder that another DJ from that event is on the lineup, SZNS7N label owner and fringe bass pioneer, LCY.

This Easter Sunday day party sees Ilian Tape duo, Zenker Brothers headlining alongside Hidden resident Syntax and Left, Right and Centre founder, Korzi. Last but by no means least is Berlin-based Darwin, known for her refreshingly modern take on dubstep, breaks and drum’n’bass.

Australian techno beast, HAAi plays all night long at the Loft this April, where her expansive psychedelic sound will appreciate a chance to stretch its legs. She’s shown off a bunch of new bow strings of late – a new live show, a Kylie remix, and a bunch of tracks which saw her singing for the first time including on her acclaimed album Baby, We’re Ascending.
