OFF*REC 2ND BIRTHDAY / 21/02 / SOUP
LILA. KISA.
MATTIA. WILL MACKENZIE.
Next month, we celebrate two years on the clock, and couldn’t be inviting better company to mark the occasion- fresh and familiar faces hit the pit for a soulful, warm, extra special knees up.
@lila_cusset - eclectic tastemaker and key piece of the ever-influential @brighterdaysfamily puzzle pairs up with fellow @rinse.fm resident via @utopia_presents and cornerstone of London’s latin-jazz, broken beat and house scene, @k1sak1sa .
The gents behind @home___w0rk , @mattiarichardson & @will.mkz join the party for a deep dive into their extensive, wonderfully curated collections.
£5 / £8 tickets already moving via Resident Advisor, come dance with us !

! First time on @rinse.fm last week !
Had loads of fun running through a Testimony To 2010- an ode to a really special era for U.K music that made lots of people very happy- check some of the YouTube comments on videos uploaded in 2010- you’ll see what I mean!
First had the idea for this show back in April, so was a real honour to bring it to life on such a legendary platform & record it there too. Big thanks to @tiborliketrebor for the trust 🤟🏼
Swipe for some particularly ear pleasing moments + some very zoomed in pics I found from my family’s trip to Barca in 2003 + tracklist. Full show in the usual spot😁

OFF*REC 003 announcement tomorrow too…
Selects:sheppa
Bouting solo for five hours this Friday, our very own sheppa has pulled out one cut per hour to wet the appetite; an amuse bouche of his dancefloor proclivities.
Free entry, tomorrow in the basement, 23:00-04:00.
Happy Bank Holiday!
One week away from our @nextdoorrecords_ rendezvous next Friday so we thought we’d share a couple of records from each of our collections.
Some acid, some chunk, some Detroit and some edits for good measure.
This 3 way will be the hottest thing since the Brangelina - Jennifer Aniston love triangle 🌶️

In June, I was given the pleasure of contributing to the @soup_manchester x @carharttwip_uk ‘Support Your Local Basement’ campaign with an oral history of SOUP. A space very close to my heart that has spent the past fifteen years serving Manchester’s music scene and uplifting those within it with unwavering passion and humility.
Hopefully the essay does this justice, piecing together stories from family old and new and weaving them into a narrative that quietly celebrates what makes soup, soup. Dua Lipa’s management having to brave our not-so-vip, vip back entrance, Dean Blunt turning the basement into a lawless tornado of haze and the toilets causing a Joy O show to get called early are a few personal favourites.
The piece is available to read on the website / slide 3 onwards- also have some physical copies, give me a shout if you’d like one posted to you :)
riding the celebration train into this weekend for the fifteenth birthday, where, on Saturday we’re doing up an all dayer across the whole venue- workshops, bbq’s, tunes and lots of beer.
Entering dream b2b territory with big dog @levilove77 for eight hours of who knows what in bar from 20:00-04:00 !
