When I first started going out and raving the whole scene was incredibly intimidating and came with a sort of learning curve. I hope our venue will be an accessible place not just for those new to raving but also for those looking to play/promote nights in Manchester.
Musically? I’m slowly morphing into a rave goblin. I used to hate DnB, now it’s quite tolerable. These days I lean toward trance, speed garage, jungle, c*nty techno… but the real ones know my niche is actually Synthwave prog house (see…I know things).
When I listen to artists, the main thing I’m looking for is a sense of authenticity. We find authenticity in their attitude, mindset, message, and audience engagement. Most importantly, do they look happy to be here?
