Incredible music, crowd full of trance lovers who were there for one thing. To party to a quality line up of dance music at 140bpm. DMM sent two Venus virgins down to one of the North West’s coolest clubs to have their cherry popped by the likes of Craig Connelly, Alex M.O.R.P.H, Andy Moor, Greg Downey and more.

Alex M.O.R.P.H. - Destroyer of nightclubs

Slightly hidden at the top of Deansgate, lies a venue created by clubbers and dance music lovers, built to carry on Manchester’s quality legacy of music in the City. Safe in the hands of RONG Audio, we turned up to a club where the dance floor was already packed full of clubbers, dancing to the incredibly talented DJ Craig Connelly. Being a trance night, the crowd were there for the music, not the scene, which made for a great atmosphere of people purely there to enjoy their shared passion for the genre.

If you like really class trance music, get your arse down to the next Rong event in June. It’s all about the music

The venue itself is well laid out for nights like this and the incredible Bitch nights (the next one is tonight and we can’t wait). You’re immediately in the club as you walk in the dance floor to the right will be packed with happy revellers. There are good areas for a chillout drink, at pretty good prices for a club, and another room full of trance addicts at the back, with another bar. The bar staff are quick and friendly, just what you need for a sneaky 5 minutes off the dance floor to recharge.

As for music, if it’s good enough for Gareth Emery, it’s good enough for DMM, Mr Emery’s casual appearance being a credit to the night and the venue. We’re no strangers to Craig Connelly, he smashes the clubs everywhere he goes and last night was no exception. The main room was bouncing to his every beat and he seemed to enjoy himself too. (There is nothing worse than a DJ who looks bored, CC was definitely not that!)

The insanely gifted Alex M.O.R.P.H took the reigns for our other highlight of the night, his first track took a minute or so to kick in but when it did, he tore Venus up. Very friendly bloke too, plenty of pics with clubbers, banter and the rest. This is what we love about trance, people are there for the music and the DJ’s love the people back because of it.

The next RONG night @ Venus, is in June. Be there! The guys from RONG are also sending trance fans to Ibiza for some incredible packed 6 nights of VIP clubbing, 5 free parties, 4 superclub admissions, 3 star hotel, 2 meet & greet events and an insane boat party from as little as £269pp.

Massive thanks to both RONG and Venus for last night, top event, top club and top people… We’re fans.
