 Last week was a horrendous week, crazily busy, manic even, but come Thursday it was all to get better, infinitely better. This was because today was the day the guys, or should I say Farmers, down at AudioFarm brought Evil Nine to Manchester or more precisely to Moho Live. Many of you will probably be aware of Moho Live for its tremendous Indie Nights: Aftershow and Propaganda, however, there is a new kid on the bloc, well, a new night anyway… so step aside Sankey’s because AudioFarm is here to round you up and take you to the abattoir!
AudioFarm was started by a group of bright, enthusiastic, talented lads who decided that Manchester needed more Breaks (Breakbeat for those not in the know), Techno, House, Electro, DnB and Dubstep and rightly so.
Not content with simply relying on their own superb DJing talents (believe me they’re good and can rip off the roof, off the back of their DJ talents alone) they decided to embark on a monumental task of booking and bringing ‘superstar DJ’s (to quote The Chemical Brothers) to Manchester. Now this is a monumental task because usually when you start a club night, a new club night at that, big DJs need to be ‘tempted’ to play your night, believe me this can be no easy task. However, somehow the AudioFarmers must have a way with words to great effect because even by their third monthly event in March, they have had the likes of Jon Carter, and Hybrid - Jan ’09, then who could they possibly get to top this line up in Feb? Maybe a Manchester electronic legend, who only created one of, if not THE best (in my opinion Voodoo Ray is the best) dance record of all time; A Guy Called Gerald, and yes this was on their second event in Feb! Not only did they have A Guy Called Gerald but they kept the Manchester theme running with neo-local hero Greg Wilson.
AudioFarm then followed this by inviting Evil Nine (note I said ‘invite’) down to their March event to not only play a DJ set which Evil Nine did to a very large welcoming crowd but just to keep us on their toes, they asked Evil Nine to play a live set and boy did they blow everyone away. I’ve not quite bettered the moment when I witnessed Evil Nine play a breaks set at The Paradise Factory (Manchester) where they dropped the original song (no remix) of Metallica’s ‘Enter Sandman’ this was pure genius and I have been a devoted Evil Nine follower ever since, so the fact that the AudioFarmers managed to get Evil Nine to play a live set AND a DJ set in the same night was truly remarkable, this goes to show 1. How important this night is! And 2. How well the promoters (I call them the AudioFarmers) are doing, running their night. They deserve all the support and success they get!
Well, how do you better Jon Carter, Hybrid, A Guy Called Gerald and Evil Nine I hear you ask??? How about Derrick May?!! None other then the Dance/Techno god-legend-pioneer himself, I mean Jesus guys (whoops! sorry *must* not blaspheme) how do you manage this?!!! This night is sure to be the best so far, well, is it? I mean with the slammingly incredible, words can-not-describe how good it’s been so far line ups, this is just almost taking the ‘piddle’ out of fantastic! Think of AudioFarm as clubbers bliss!
Derrick May will be playing AudioFarm on the 9th April held at Moho Live. Doors open at 9pm ‘till late (about 3pm). If that’s not enough there is an after show party which starts at 4am and held at Club Alter Ego and then, who knows, maybe you’ll be lucky enough to be invited to a very special party later on…
Seriously though this is one hell of a brilliant club night, mark all future AudioFarm events in your diary, book off the Friday and have yourself an amazing time and a long weekend!!
Not only are the AudioFarmers content with staging hugely great club nights, they also have a heart too and have teamed up with Oxfam. Their objective is to increase Oxfam’s profile and awareness - and therefore donations - at festivals by creating a farm of electronic fun where you can barn-dance the night away.
Additionally, they also bring the festival spirit to Moho Live by recreating an Oxfam store, where they sell farm wear, retro clothing and even some designer bargains, with all profits going to Oxfam. Bring your pocket money! Check out Oxfam GB - working towards an end to poverty worldwide for more info.
Those of you who used to attend Tribal Sessions will remember the great crowd, it was almost a clubbing family; close, friendly and up for it. Well, that vanished a while ago, but it is now back! It’s back at AudioFarm! Come along, you’ll have a truly excellent time!
AudioFarm can be found monthly at Moho Live check Audio Farm for more details and to find out the monu’mental’ line ups on their way!!
Moho Live, the home of AudioFarm is located at: Moho Live, Tib Street, Northern Quarter, Manchester, M4 1LN (it’s behind the infamous Affleck Palace)
