Venue Focus: The Garage, Liverpool

Image: The Garage

Liverpool's Baltic district has seen a huge resurgence in recent years. As the destination for the city's recent celebration of divergent cultures and the grass roots arts scene Threshold, the proliferation of unused warehouses and uncluttered city space has made it the perfect place to house stellar electronic music.

Venues such as Camp and Furnace, Haus, Kitchen St and District have all led the charge, but one venue that has quickly delivered a reputation for all hours escapism, a premier destination for Liverpool's more hedonistic and discerning clubbers, The Garage.

Nestled on Greenland St, the venue boasts a huge 100k Funktion One sound system with a lighting rig befitting high end production, combining with a classic warehouse space to make for a brilliantly exuberant clubbing experience. Ahead of an exciting run of form for the venue we've spotlighted the upcoming events taking place in the next few weeks.

Modu:lar presents Rhadoo // April 4th

The first party in April sees the presence of Romanian house music royalty at the venue in the shape of a third of ar:pir:ar, Rhadoo. His lithe grooves have caught the ears of Cocoon, Cadenza and many more, with his recent Fabric mix a thing of absolute beauty.

We previewed the party in greater detail here, and you can secure your tickets at this link.
