Warehouse Project 2012 - New Venue

So, Easter Bank Holiday Weekend is nearly upon us and wow what a massive weekend it’s set to be in Manchester. Birmingham has Circoloco, Liverpool has a huge night at Cream but the Mancunian clubbers clearly have the pick of the lot.

Benny Benassi @ Sankeys, Thursday 7th April
The legend that is Mr Benny Benassi is hitting Sankeys hard on Thursday to kick off the Easter weekend in style, alongside Belguk and friends. Tickets are still available, £12 each  but order quickly from Skiddle.

Warehouse Project – Good Friday
One of the biggest nights of 2012 so far, Good Friday promises to be an absolute belter. Massive names in the World of dance music / house music, including fellow Swedes Axwell and Eric Prydz, DMM regulars James Zabiela (listen to his download from December’s WHP here…), John Digweed, Joris Voorn, Nic Fanciulli (tipped by Pete Tong to be riduclously big in 2012) and WHP residents of Krysko and  Greg Lord, joined by Lewis Boardman in room 2.

The first night in the new Trafford Wharf Road venue and the first WHP event since the close of Store St, (R.I.P. Forever in our hearts … ) should be an interesting one. No doubt the venue will be red hot and the line-up immense but will the legendary atmosphere remain? We think it will, so bring it on! DMM will be down on the night, so expect a solid review before Sunday’s next installment!

Tribal Sessions @ Sankeys  with Steve Lawler, Francois K and more – Saturday 7th April
Yet another quality, World class line up at Sankeys, (how do they do it week in week out?) when Steve Lawler leads out the Tribal Sessions crew onto the infamous Manchester nightclub’s decks. Tickets are for some reason still available online, at a respectable £12 from Skiddle, so order now to not be disappointed.

Music @ Dawn, Bassment Club, Manchester  - Saturday 7th April
Relatively new, early morning house night M@D hit Dance Music Manchester by storm at their last night, we shared their fantastic podcast on Soundcloud via Twitter yesterday (listen online / download now!) so we figured we just had to include them in  our Easter Weekend preview. Why not head down after Sankeys, it’s only down the road? View the M@D Facebook Page for more information.

Nina Kraviz - WHP Easter Sunday 2012

Warehouse Project Easter Sunday
At the end of what promises to be a messy Manchester weekend lies a corker of a night, again at the new Warehouse Project venue on Trafford Wharf Road, near Old Trafford. Sold out months ago, the incredible line up includes Loco Dice, Jamie Jones, Carl Craig presenting 69 Live, Maya Jane Coles, Claude Von Stroke, Benoit and Sergio, Phillip Jung (M.A.N.D.Y), Julio Bashmore, Heidi, the incredibly talented (and drop dead gorgeous, see the picture on the right..) Nina Kraviz, Scuba, Eats Everything, XXXY and residents Krysko, Damu, Greg Lord and Andro. Wow. *Pauses for breath.

*(Both WHP nights open at 7, finishing at 4am)

New location announced!

The location has now been announced as a warehouse on trafford park road, trafford park, close to Old Trafford! Read more at the whp website!!

Warehouse Project Store Street Announcement

The rumours are circling the country, spreading like wildfire. The British dance music scene is debating it’s new whereabouts, “it won’t be the same”,  “It’s moving to London, Bowlers, Trafford Park, Salford, Liverpool…“.

Well tomorrow morning, we will finally know the new home for Manchester’s largest club nights and the setting for Easter 2012′s Warehouse Project.

So, we’ve lost the legendary Store Street but hopefully the incredible atmosphere, lineups and insane nights will continue to live on at this secret new home, with Eric Prydz, Axwell, James Zabiela, Joris Voorn, Nic Fanciulli and co being the first to grace the decks on Good Friday (6th April). The team at WHP have emphasized that this will not be Store Street version 2 but a complete re-invention of their legendary nights. Here at Dance Music Manchester, we are incredibly excited at the thought of raving away in the new venue, dubbed to be bigger, better and even more legendary than it’s predecessor.

The Warehouse Project official announcement is on the Morning of the 22nd March, we will update THIS post so watch this space!

Do you have any ideas for where it could be? Will it be the same? Is it for better or for worse? Have your say below or on Facebook!

The Warehouse Project is back in 2012 at a brand new, still secret, venue with an absolutely World class lineup for both Good Friday and Easter Sunday.

Good Friday (6th April 2012)
Eric Prydz, Axwell, James Zabiela, Thomas Gold, Jeremy Olander and Krysko destroy room 1 with Digweed, Joris Voorn, Nic Fanciulli, Greg Lord and Lewis Boardman tearing up room 2 on the first night of the Easter Weekender. Tickets are still available here.

Easter Sunday (8th April 2012)
Loco Dice / Jamie Jones, Carl Craig presents 69 Live, Maya Jane Coles, Claude Von Stroke, Benoit & Sergio, Phillip Jung (M.A.N.D.Y), Julio Bashmore, Heidi, Nina Kraviz, Scuba, Eats Everything, XXXY, Krysko, Damu, Greg Lord and Andro wrap up a chilled (yeah right), weekend at WHP.

Rumours circulating around Mancunia about the whereabouts of the new WHP venue suggest Bowlers (Trafford Park), which although big enough cannot have the same atmosphere as the legendary Store St surely? What do you think? Have you heard any rumours?

Creamfields 2012 Lineup?

The Creamfields team have announced that the sale of early bird tickets will close on Friday 2nd March and that the lineup will finally be announced for this years return of the award winning dance music festival.

In true Creamfields style, the lineup has been kept as a closely guarded secret but is being billed as the biggest and best festival yet. We have no doubts however that the usual crowd will be returning from trance legends Tiesto and Van Buuren, to Deadmau5, Pete Tong to Eddie Halliwell to the legends (and now unbelievably popular) trio from Sweden, that form the Swedish House Mafia  of Axwell, Seb Ingrosso and DMM favourite Steve Angello.

Will grammy award winning Skrillex be headlining in 2012? Will Deadmau5 be donning the infamous mau5 head in the Warrington rain? Will Kissy Sell Out be rocking the strongbow tent once again? Who would you like to see in an ideal line up? Comment below or on our Facebook page!

YES! The guesses were true, the mischievous  trio, Axwell, Seb Ingrosso and Steve Angello, collectively known as  the Swedish House Mafia, are going on a massive, Worldwide arena tour dubbed, “One Night Stand”, starting at Madison Square Gardens, New York on the 16th December, followed by the Milton Keynes Bowl on 14th July 2012, 2pm -11pm.

A trip to 230911.com will show you the same video we were greeted with on Friday night at 9:14pm making this announcement with a quirky, news bulletin style video production surrounding the rumours and the connection to the three dots.

Tickets go on sale on Thursday via the SHM Facebook Page and on Friday via TicketMaster and GigsAndTours.co.uk so book your tickets quick as they will almost indefinitely sell out very, very quickly.

They have also announced their new album, to be called One Night Stand, which will feature the Coldplay v SHM – Every Teardrop is a Waterfall track, SHM v Knife Party – Antidote and presumably many more of their dance floor smashers.

We will hopefully be there, will you?
