Really looking forward to next weekend as Bee Noir Manchester hosts Rave Odyssey UK - a fresh take on the golden era of dance music masterminded by my very good pal Damian Olly Almond!

This is arguably the most anticipated old skool dance event of the summer, a fantastic modern venue featuring one of the best sound systems you will find alongside incredible visual display technologies - prepare to be immersed in nostalgic bass lines and held aloft with uplifting and euphoric beats🔊👌🏼😎

That’s not all though - a second outdoor arena is scheduled for lift off which I’m delighted to be supporting….

Think Ibiza, sunshine, Balearic beats a plenty going off within a stone’s throw of the world famous Haçienda here on Mancunian door steps. Prepare to have the best of both worlds. The Old Skool Rave AND the hypnotic Progressive House of The White Isle!

“This is Manchester, we do things differently here”🐝

The latest Progmersion session is up.

In the hours before heading to see Sasha & Digweed at IDRA (Manchester) I spent some time on the decks putting this one together. Featuring music from Elliot Moriarty, Robert Babicz, Christian Smith, Hot Since 82, Quivver and others currently finding regular rotation in my sets.

For those who like a bit of underground Prog - give your bum's a wiggle to this if you get a chance :-)
