My mate is trying to break into the local scene ((getting a few bookings here and there) so he’s always telling me xyz Manchester DJ’s are great, he recommended him too. I’ll have check him out now. Apparently this “secret venue” is that room at Depot. Boiler Room done stuff at Store Street before I remember popping my head in one time. Nothing on that night at Depot either. Courtesy starts half an hour before Skee Mask Saturday was gonna pop my head in for a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's typically not quite techy enough for me, but he played at The Blues on Thursday night in 2017 and was brilliant. Albeit that you could barely move an arm, as it was SO packed!

I'd watched a few of her sets online whilst researching the line-up and was excited to see her, especially as she was in the best Dimensions venue, The Moat. Sad to report that she was really dull. Selection and mixing were just not my thing at all, and some of her beatmatching was sixth-form disco bad! But that probably says more about me than her! Karen Gwyer at Dimensions, on the other hand, was unbelievable! Child 3 is a musician and so 'understands' what's going on with live DJ performance. And he was dumbstruck by how good her hour was! Ben That's a shame, her Boiler Room from Dekmantel last year is one of my favourites. Four Tet or Lone will have to do if she doesn't hit the spot. What's the depot like for overcrowding? I really didn't like Store Street for that reason. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main room (Depot) was pretty packed when we arrived at 9pm, certainly within the 'channel' between the two rows of pillars that run the length of the room from stage to sound desk right at the back. For Enrico and Adam Beyer there were many sections of that crowd where it was too tight for me to be happy dancing but, as is often the way, 15-20m from the barrier it was actually better! My usual technique is to get you and your mates to pick a spot with a bit of space, all get on it dancing properly, and people generally move so as not to get hit...!

I’ll be back there for 808 state next month. Was at the Hacienda night a few weeks ago which was good. Having just returned from Ibiza I’ve found my rave head again so watching this thread with interest. Id love to see Kolsch at glasto. My friends were at the Hacienda night and said the crowd was great. I’ve seen people turn their noses up at the people who attend their events around Manchester but the ones I’ve attended have been ok. Kolsch was good on the Blues in 2017?

We always tend to do the same thing on Thursday nights but I’ll have to have a bit more of a mooch about I think. I love more dreamy techno.

Tuna Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 20 hours ago, Upside down frowner said: I have little knowledge about the booking between the different crews. Is there a particular reason @Tuna? I also don't really know how it works, but block9 have their own separate booker(s) (a friend of mine is hopefully playing the meat rack this year, he was speaking to the downlow booker - we'll see if it transpires) but given the style and the names they had playing this year it doesn't seem like Carl Cox is someone they'd approach (£££). He does seem to love the place and we're interpolating from a single point so it could happen, just doesn't seem likely at this stage. Who knows.

I think you're right, Tuna, and Coxy really doesn't seem to fit with the much more (impressively) leftfield line-up that they curated for IICON this year. Now, that might be a budget thing, but Block9 have always seemed to me to be focused on an interesting line-up rather than a 'known' line-up. Saying that, if Coxy is already playing the festival (he is) and loves the Farm (he clearly does) and is not stupid with his £££ demands, I could see them putting him on IICON. I have no doubt that the huge field would be rammed if they programmed him cleverly (i.e. not against high-popularity main stage headliners) and would be an amazing atmosphere. Would I be there? Hmmm! Possibly! Would defo depend on what else was on, and someone convincing me that he'd promised not to pick up the mike and talk to me. At any point. At all.

Tommy Dickfingers Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 If it’s a big name booking who costs a fortune and is held in high regard in the underground surely it’s Villalobos on Icon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upside down frowner Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 As mentioned above I thought the only way they could get the big/expensive names would be if they’re are prepared to do a few sets and take bits off everyone’s budgets. Always thought that’s why Cox will play for example the unfairground because he’s getting money from three areas. How many of the other big hitters will do that I guess?

Surely someone at Block 9 can have a word and get her there I asked her a couple of years ago in a green room if she was playing Glastonbury and she had never heard of the place. I tried to explain it to her and she didn’t seem that interested. Was a polite “oh thanks I’l look it up” pretty much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWR Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 Any of the Manchester peeps here able to tell me what yes is like as a venue. Going there for garnier in January and hadn't heard of it up till today! Looks like more of a gig venue than a club? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it in the basement or the pink room? I’ve heard basement is banging but I’ve never been, wasn’t mad on The Pink Room personally thought it was way too narrow and too bright (you need darkness in a nightclub for me). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having listened to this all the way through, can we get Palmsy in a big late night slot next year? Problem is I'm not really sure where his sound fits, NYC Downlow maybe? He played The Beat Hotel this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
