Long standing queer night High Hoops return to Salford, this time inviting Tania Humeres Correa a.k.a. THC. Any presumptions you have based on her moniker can be swiftly disposed of, she is anything but stoned in her style, where fast, playful and uplifting techno punch brightly alongside classic house and rave thrillers. The same can be said for Reflex Blue, whose productions are anything but a deep violet as his alias suggests.
Warehouse project resident, Aletha launches a new club-night this month at the newly refurbed Loft. Guests at the debut include Amaliah, a London-based DJ who’s spun at Berghain, Phonox and Fabric following her breakthrough in 2021 and Boiler Room debut 6 months ago. She’s joined by Daytimers resident, Suchi, who wears her South Asian heritage on her sleeve, with Indian influences and samples blending effortlessly with cutting-edge disco, house and bass selections.

Support comes from Hit & Run founder, Rich Reason.
