Run The Jewels, Hud Mo, Ram Jam, New Order and more for Warehouse Project 10th Anniversary
Whatever your feelings on the Warehouse Project, it’s undeniable that it’s made a huge impact on Manchester and 2015 marks the ten year anniversary since its inception at the former Boddington’s brewery site, where I remember catching De La Soul, Public Enemy, The Pharcyde, Ugly Duckling and Goldie to name a few.
Having a look at the line up this year, jumping out for me – bearing in mind the musical tastes of this particular blog – would have to be Run The Jewels (no doubt premiering some Meow The Jewels tracks live) and Joey Badass on separate nights. We’re certainly light on the more ‘traditional’ hip hop acts this year.
Local talent continues to be represented strongly and pushed towards national attention, with the likes of Levelz, Barely Legal, Juicy, Dub Phizix, Strategy, Madame X, Hoya Hoya’s Jonny Dub and Eclair Fifi all appearing.
Many Manchester heads will be pleased to see New Order over two nights, made even more appetising by the addition of A Certain Ratio and more heads from that era, ably accompanied by the next generation of Will Tramp! and Now Wave.
I’ve block-quoted some personal highlights below, but there are certainly more jewels to be found in the always intricately-picked line ups, so have a close look.
This year, the Warehouse Project returns to Store Street beneath Piccadilly Station.
