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

You've got it right absolutely, Rich; all you need to do now is find a different venue from Factory...

Orite guys , i'm moving to Manc for university this year , but i started going to raves there last year when friends moved over for uni [ I did an extra year at college ]. I'm doing music production & engineering at futureworks university. I'm glad to find there are going to be loads more students who are into dubstep moving over there too .

APHID - I have friends who lived at daisy bank halls last year . They're orite man. I'm in Cosmopolitain accomodation place , expensive as fuck !

I just hope to hear deeper dubs later this year & next in Manchester. It's been about this ravey crunchy chainsaw dubstyle for too long . Although couldn't agree more with Rich above , variety definitely makes the night more interesting & enjoyable .
