The renowned Manchester venue hasn't put a foot wrong since becoming a fully fledged underground clubbing space midway through 2015. Alongside the awards the club has nurtured a huge following of discerning clubbers lapping up the unfailingly impressive line ups the city's best underground promoters welcome to the Mary Street locale.
As we see out the winter, the always impressive Project 13 crew join up with the Annex Agency on January 20th for some deliciously dark and dingy rave fodder helmed by Helena Hauff and her barrage of clattering electro, face-melting acid and sex floor EBM. Olivia and Veronica Vasicka also appear in the main room, with LIES boss Ron Morelli going back-to-back with PAN maintsay Lee Gamble in room two.
The legendary, genre-defying DJ Sprinkles makes an essential appearance on January 21st next to one of Manchester's best and most unpredictable selectors Annabel Fraser and the No Flute DJs for a night spanning techno, house, disco and a whole lot more.
Funk, hip hop, house and UK garage are on the menu when a P.A.R.T.Y. descends on the venue on January 26th, while House of Wax link up with Horizan Festival to whet everyone's appetites for the forthcoming ski festival. Matthew Herbert, Africaine 808 and Bambooman grab the headlines for the occasion.
90s garage is the order of the day on January 28th for Hidden's house party, followed by a Manchester debut for the rich, deep and melodic minimal tech house of Ben Rau thanks to You&Me on the same night.
Romanian minimal pioneer Raresh, fellow countryman Praslea and Hotflush boss Scuba take control of the venue on February 3rd, before Sonic Sahara and Euphony bring Session Victim, Jay Daniel and Hidden Spheres to Manchester on the 4th.
Gilles Peterson, Lone and Adesse Versions headline the Below The Surface Spring Opener on February 10th; HomoElectric take on the Savage DJs on February 11th; Denis Sulta, Auntie Flo and Chaos in the CBD bring raucous house music to the venue on February 17th; and drum n bass and jungle giants ANT TC1 and Total Science make 45 Filter's Hidden skank out a memorable one on the 18th.
On the same night John Dimas, Domenico Rosa and Gianmarco Orsini unleash their brand of deep house and techno for Voorbode's fifth party while the following Friday, 24th February promises pulverising techno from Dax J, alongside slots from Cleric, Reflec and Acre.
Silent Treatment make Hidden their home on the same night with Sit, Cristi Cons and Vlad Caia on the bill, and then man of the moment Midland headlines Zutekh's 8th Birthday with Job Jobse and Or:la providing fine support.
