About Me

//__Ok people, first up a big thankyou to the dedicated group of chumps that came down to support our Kid606 party on friday... fun was had and we'd like to give big props to all those who came out.We have some special broadcasts coming up:28th April sees us make our debut at the Manchester institution that is Hit and Run. Rich Reason has been building a hugely dedicated following over the last few years, treating them to the best in breaks, drum and bass, dub step and hip hop; and it is with our great pleasure that this week he brings a taste of Detroit and Chicago to his night. We'll be hosting the downstairs room (aka the thirsty scholar) alongside Manchester's legend of darkness, detroit and beyond Mr. Jonny Abstract. Expect dark detroit gems, futurist electro-soul and sonic treats of the highest order. We have a special guestlist for Detroit Public Radio so anyone wishing to get in a bit cheap should get in touch through the usual channels!Also, Saturday 3rd May we're playing at El Diablos Social Club @ Trof, Oxford Road... again, a bit of a Manc Institution El Diablo's has been going at it "to rack and to ruin" for some time now....featuring guests such as Maurice Fulton, Rub n Tug and Lindstrom. Recently finding a new home at the Deaf Intitution aka Trof, we're extremely exciting to be playing for these gents. More info will be released later this week!That's it for now chumps!____//enD.. ///BrOaDcas_t........ xTicketline
