More Information

Basement Jaxx

Basement Jaxx

They'd been about for a little while (remember 'Fly Life'?) but anyone on the dancefloor in 1999 would have found the funky progressive house rhythms of monster club hit 'Red Alert' irresistable. Producers, remixers and DJ duo Simon Ratcliffe and Felix Buxton had arrived, and followed 'Red Alert' with hit album 'Remedy' and a string of other club winners. Their 2002 return saw them win Best British Dance Act at the Brit Awards thanks to top 10 hits 'Romeo' and 'Where's Your Head At?'. The cream of UK dance music.

The Streets

The Streets

The Streets - or Mike Skinner as he's known to his friends - playing an 'extraordinary mix of garage, rap and anything else he can get his hands on' (NME). Whether you love or hate the music, it's originality and impact on the scene is undeniable. His debut album 'Original Pirate Material' was a brilliant blend of urban poetry, cut-up beats and a wicked sense of humour. For many artists, this initial success would have been an unbearable burden, but Skinner returned in late 2003 with the outstanding 'A Grand Don't Come For Free'. An urban concept album, the street-slang lyricism of the original record was complemented with a new found level of emotional maturity. He has raised the bar again, but can he go higher?

Dizzee Rascal

Dizzee Rascal

Underground dance master who stunned the UK garage scene with his debut album 'Boy In Da Corner' and single 'I Luv U' in 2003, both of which warped the sound into something dark, disturbing and deliciously innovative. Considered the most popular and influential Grime artist in the world, and also recognised as an innovator with his production style. 2007's 'Maths + English' is a masterpiece and a credit to the genre.

Saint Etienne

Saint Etienne

In a dance world where drum machines and pounding basslines rule, Saint Etienne have always been a welcome purveyor of fresh pop, dance and ambient fusion. With Sarah Cracknell's breathy, etheral vocal still sending shivers down the spine and a back catalogue including 'Only Love Will Break Your Heart' and 'He's On The Phone' to draw on, plug in and start dreaming.

Delphic

Delphic

Possibly the most exciting new band to come out of Manchester, Delphic's sound straddles genres, flowing between the stadium britpop of Oasis and the electro-pop of New Order, with a taste of Klaxons - 'electronic music played with a full band setup', as they describe it. Driving, tumultuous and emotive, this is a new chapter in Manchester music.
