About Manchester 88

Listed Under Music Events / Nights Out Events

808 State made the opening salvos into what became UK Acid House & Techno. Their legacy is being discovered by new generations, with versions of their classic anthems such as “Pacific State”, “In Yer Face” & “Cubik”, re modelled recently by Bicep & Too Many DJs. 808 State’s first album “Newbuild” is now regarded as a milestone in UK electronica. “Quadrastate” followed this and included “Pacific State” which became an end-of-night anthem at the Haçienda.
Jon Dasilva resident at “Hot” at the Hacienda Manchester in 1988. This was the club night that kicked off Acid House. The club night was year zero for Acid House. From there everything changed.
He continuse to DJ around the globe with ‘I Love Acid’ club night.
Bosco & Rob Mason - Residents at Lets Go back one of the longest running club nights in the UK since 2000.
