[gergbot]

First of, sorry if theres another thread about this, and if I'm posting this in the wrong bit, but i'm too hung over to search through the forum right now.
Basically i got in to manchester uni yesterday and was wondering what decent dubstep nights there are round manchester? i'm into stuff like dmz, skream, clubroot, loefah etc so preferably no 'heavy' dubstep nights.
thanks a lot

safe, nice one

sorry to be annoying, but anyone know anything about decent record shops? thanks to all the replies so far and to all the congrats messages!

[domhunt]

For Dubstep? Eastern Bloc Records and Piccadilly Records.
Eastern Bloc do more of the hype tunes and Piccadilly Records have a huge selection of deep, experimental Dubstep..

They're both on Oldham Street in the Northern Quarter just off Piccadilly Gardens.

nice one cheers. not too far from where i'm staying. i know where my student loans going now haha

[isiahfire]

Yeah, i'd definately recommend Picadilly over Eastern Bloc, but EB have a better Drum and Bass selection.

I'm very much looking forward to seeing what Format are going to be coming with this term, Their line ups are much more for me now, especially since Rich has been backing a lot more of the crowd pleasing Cicus stuff (no disrespect obviously, guys gotta make money i know.)

But Manchester is a sick city, with a scene thats really easy to get involved in, and something for everyone!

Easy now...

Just in response to what you said (and no offense is taken btw )..... over the summer we've booked more more Circus-esque stuff as the crowd in Manchester that remains tends to be more into the heavy stuff. However, as the hoards of students return, we are able to push the deeper stuff (where my heart really lies....), and you'll see this when you see the bookings! Saying that though we have still booked Youngsta, Phaeleh, Indigo, Madd, Breakage and Marlow in the last few months since the students left.

However, and I would be interested to hear what people think of this, I still want to keep all the different strands of dubstep within the same rave. Hit&Run has always been about variety, and think our best nights have always been when each DJ has been markedly different to the last: e.g. Starkey, Daedelus, Datsik, Swarms and Nosaj thing last March, and James Blake, Borgore, Dom Hz and Cookie last December. I want to educate and illuminate if I can rather than just preach to the converted. I think the problem with "label" nights, whether it's Hessle or Circus, is that you have the same textures, and often the same tunes, for 4/5 hours. I think everything sounds better and fresher in juxtaposition to something totally different to it. And I count it as one of my most rewarding experiences as a promoter when loads of young ravers who were down to catch Borgore left the club that night saying how totally amazing James Blake was, who played a completely uncompromising set of his experimental brilliance.

I am just wondering whether people will still continue to tolerate such variety in the rave. It does seem like one half of dubstep has fallen out with the other. Which is a shame as one of things that so attracted me to it back in 2005 was the fact that within the same set, let alone the same night, there would be such variety.

So if this has been a ramble.... have a great time in Manchester. For me now its party scene is pretty much peerless in the UK, and Djs always comment on how good the atmosphere is up here when they visit.

PEACE

[catflap]

Just keep what you're doing the same rich, it's obviously working. Last night was pretty good. Newham Generals killed it haha.

[rrr]

Thanks bro!

[scp]

iv been very satisfied with the dubstep experience across various nights that have been put on in the last year that iv been @ uni, and long may it continue

[HamCrescendo]
