6 years going strong, Hoya:Hoya has cemented itself as a major contributor the Manchester scene.

Soul:ution
One of the most respected sounds in DnB and up there with some of Manchester’s most important exports, Soul:ution has been showcasing the deeper side of Drum n Bass since I were a nipper. With A list guests month in month out the night has become a hub for the Manchester DnB community. This month’s event showcases the launch of MC DRS’s new single The Puppeteer and with sets from Jubei, Marcus Intalex and Bane it looks set to be a slammer.

More Bounce crew bring legend Afrika Bambaataa to The Roadhouse on Friday night. As well as their main headliner, very special guests DJ Woody and Scorzayzee will be on hand to keep the party rocking as they celebrate 40 years of hip hop. This one promises to bring the vibes associated with hip hop’s old skool roots and is definitely the place to be if you want a good old fashioned boogie.
Riot Jazz
