Manchester’s finest came through Nowadays, as part of Voices’ residency, and was really excellent.

Some highlights stand out: going from a 160 bpm quasi-hardcode uplifting piano track straight into booty house … and then after 15 minutes of straight fingergun bassline bangers, pulling out a hardcore / fast techno edit of early James Blake, which had folks losing their minds.

She also played Missy Elliott’s Get Ur Freak On, just letting the original roll on between bass music monsters (Minor Science – Workahol, among others). Well worth staying up late for.

A dance intensive came to the club early and cut it up like crazy; I had a borderline out of body experience when the mist system came on for the first time; lots of beautiful deep Detroit techno; two feral cats in the back yard; I saw a man sharpening machete on the way home.

Could not stay long, but yoiks, a great dj — rangey house, slippery drum tools, big disco records, and I think he played three 10+ minute records back to back to back
