Musically is there anything new or exiting happening in the Manchester underground?

Does Manchester have a techno scene?

Hi Stephen,

Got to say first of all, my info for you here is half a decade out of date, as I moved away from Manc about 5 years ago. I'm still posting some chat though cos I believe that Manc will always have a strong underground, just something about the place, the mix of cultures ..

When I lived there, the techno/acid house/trance scene was very much alive and kicking; Nights like Herbal Tea Party @ New Ardri, Bugged Out @ Sankeys, Sleuth @ Paradise and not forgetting the MegaDog's made for a busy raving calendar lol.
You can see from some of Graham's posts that the after-party scene was buzzing too, I went to a couple of house-mashup's around Hulme and Chorlton.. great days. And not forgetting the plethora of record shops - they fed the dj's, who in turn fed the mad punters, and everyone was happy.

And that was only 5 years ago.. I can't believe all that stuff has died out, the following was too strong. Guess you just have to keep an ear to the ground eh mate ..
