For over three years now Contort Yourself have been slaving away in the basement of The Roadhouse creating a name for themselves as pioneers in the underground music scene, not only in Manchester, but UK wide. Bastions of “The New Danceability” whether that be jacked up techno, 8-bit house, cosmic baleria or batty bass, they have always found themselves ahead of the curve.
Constantly digging and unearthing fresh new talent, Contort Yourself have been responsible for brining some of today’s biggest names to the front, with 2009 holding in particular sell-out live shows from the then unheard of LA ROUX as well as DRUMS OF DEATH and FENECH-SOLER. Simultaneously switching week on week to bring us genre crippling Dj sets from fresh faces including JACK BEATS, NOOB, RORY PHILLIPS, TODDLA T, RIVA STARR, alongside legends such as the FILTHY DUKES and DJ ZINC!
MIXMAG: "It's Grubby, its Dark, its underground, and that’s just the music... Contort Yourself is surely one of the most exciting and forward-thinking clubs in the land"
M.E.N: “This Sublimely dark and devious disco breaths much needed life into Manchester’s club scene”
CITY LIFE: “A fortnightly bash of twitchy bass, febrile punk funk and electronic sounds... it’s a night that has broken down musical barriers in the city and in introducing Manchester to the new wave of talent from all over the world”
GUARDIAN GUIDE: "Musically brave and forward-thinking... the twice-monthly, uber-hip dance night Contort Yourself proves this current crop are authentic Mancunian mainstays"
2010 is set to be another huge year as this institution continues to move from strength to strength… be sure to keep an eye on what’s they have in store for you because this is where the wagon starts.
