The Haçienda

This Saturday, the legendary Haçienda returns to The Warehouse Project at Depot Mayfield. The Haçienda needs no introduction to Acid fans, having spearheaded the sound in the UK in the late 80s with nights like Nude on Fridays. Regular DJs at the time included Jon Da Silva, DJ Paulette, Mike Pickering, Graeme Park, all of whom are on the line up this weekend. In addition, Orbital will be headlining, along with some of the biggest names in House including Armand Van Helden, Groove Armada and Inner City. This is one not to be missed.

Radio Show

As always, you can hear the radio show on Wednesdays at 5pm GMT/BST on Underground Kollektiv, Thursdays 5pm GMT/BST on Data Transmission, Saturdays at 11pm GMT/BST on Radio Roadhouse and new episodes hit the podcast every Friday morning.
