From all-day garage parties to 25 years of Mr Scruff’s iconic Keep it Unreal, check out our picks of the best club nights coming to Manchester over the next few weeks.
Peach Discs head honcho Shanti returns to Salford for a special b2b with Panorama Bar regular, OK Williams. Expect a blend of hypnotic and ecstatic sounds as the pair throw rave-shaped punches of trance, techno, house and electro. They’re joined by Manchester’s own Aletha, hot off the back Rinse FM’s Bilbao BBK takeover.
Jake Martin has been carving out a Hodge-shaped hole in the UK bass and techno scene for over 10 years now, primarily on labels from his hometown, Bristol, such as Livity Sound, Timedance and Idle Hands. He’s down at Soup alongside Sister Zo, who’s been making a ton of noise around the world since her debut EP on Scuffed Recordings in 2022. Expect weighty sounds from both on Soup’s superb quad-stack rig.
Global sounds in the Rainy City are always welcome when the weather takes a turn, and Nossa! are right on time as usual. They invite Brilliant Corners’ inimitable selector Donna Leake, whose deep bags of spiritual jazz and hypnotic funk are very much accustomed to shaking down dance floors around the world.
25 years in the game is quite the milestone for Mr Scruff’s Keep it Unreal parties in Manchester. Join him and resident hype-man MC Kwasi to celebrate a quarter of a century of unbeatable cosmic slammers.
