- Manchester's party project ditches the Brewery and sets up underneath Piccadilly Station for May Bank Holiday Weekend.
Last year The Warehouse Project was one of the most innovative and best things to crop up on the UK's clubbing calendar, running for twelve weeks from October and finishing on a high on New Year's Day with Laurent Garnier. Rambling around the freezing brewery to Jeff Mills was a highlight, as was the opening party with Digweed and Howells. I even enjoyed Francois K’s stand-in set for the Cosmic Twins (hopefully they won’t cock up anybody’s flight this time). But then, sadly, it was no more.
They’ve been hinting at a return for ages now (after disappointing me with a comeback night at the Apollo. Drum n bass, seriously?) and finally, they’re back. Here’s what they’ve got lined up for the May Bank Holiday weekend.

Sander Kleinenberg (Live DVJ Set)

Don’t know about you, but I feel somewhat…crestfallen. Pete Tong and Sander Kleinenberg? Hardly forward thinking, and, yes, more drum n bass on Sunday. The Radio Soulwax night looks like the only truly promising one a decent time. Sure enough the crowds will get pulled in by the novelty of partying under Piccadilly Train Station but where have all the exciting DJs gotten to?
