Patrick Topping presents TRICK
When: Saturday 9th April 2022

Everyone's favourite Geordie (or at least tied with Tyneside Troubadour, Sam Fender), Patrick Topping will make his way to Manchester's colossal Depot (Mayfield) warehouse venue in just over six weeks time, with a bag of fist-pumping, foot-stomping, body-moving records up his sleeve.
Appearing in front of up to ten thousand people over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend, the TRICK label boss is set to be joined by a score of fast-rising talents on the cusp of breaking through - from Ben Hemsley and Scotsman Ewan McVicar to BBC Radio 1's award-winning 'introducing' presenter, Jaguar.
Running from 9 pm until 4 am the following day, this egg-citing spectacle is set to be one that you won't want to miss. Unlike our terrible puns. Apologies.

Where: Invisible Wind Factory in Liverpool
One of the most exciting and ambitious acts to come out of the current electronic music scene, Leeds' natives PROSPA have been lighting up audiences at events around the UK - the likes of Creamfields and ADE - over recent years.
The pair, who have gained the respect of some of Britains most notable tastemakers and curators, such as former BBC Radio 1 presenter, Annie Mac, are noted for remoulding the elements and features of classic dance into a new sound all of their own.
Bringing that novel sound to Liverpool's Invisible Wind Factory next month, the duo will showcase their already accomplished live show with support coming from ENRG resident, Blehrin.

The Void Official Reunion Part 2
When: Saturday 26th February 2022
Where: Keele SU Building (Keele University Students' Union) in Newcastle-under-Lyme
Off the back of The VOID's recent twenty-fifth-anniversary celebration comes 'The Official Reunion Part Two'.
The quarter-century birthday event last October, which brought some of the best selectors in disco, house, trance and more to the legendary Stoke-based nightclub, was a resounding success. So much so, that the local dance contingent called for a follow up to the commemorative occasion, to which the VOID team obviously obliged.
Performing at part two of the reunion next week, those present can expect to hear live sets across three rooms from household names such as Hacienda favourite, Graeme Park, Jon Pleased wimmin, Tall Paul B2B with Cream legend, Seb Fontaine, Kelvin Andrews, Rob Tissera and local boy, Pete Bromley.
Get down to The VOID this weekend and do it all again, in the name of dance.
