Nossa! Second Birthday with Charlie Dark + Residents

TWO YEARS OF NOSSA!

From Brazilian carnivals in pubs to live acts in the club, we've been having the absolute best time dancing together.

To celebrate, we're bringing a serious, serious legend to Manchester for a vinyl focused dance that could go in a whole host of directions including disco, jazz, Latin, reggae, funk, dub, gospel, psychedelia and so much more.

IT'S CHARLIE DARK!

Raised in South London on a diet of pirate radio and warehouse parties, Charlie has been spinning records and igniting dance floors since the early eighties. From his time on Mo Wax records with Attica Blues in the 90’s, a major label deal on Sony Records and the plethora of remixes and productions Deejaying and bringing people together has been at the heart of everything he’s gone on to achieve. If you ever caught his Blacktronica Parties, sets at the legendary Plastic People or listened to his radio shows then you’ll know that 'All forms of music in one room the way it used to be’ has always been his motto and his record crates run deep.

With a vast record collection spanning various genres his predominately vinyl sets are known for their eclecticism spanning Dub to Disco to House, Funk, Soul Reggae, African gems and beyond. Uplifting energy filled genre jumping sets, classic rotary mixers, quality sound, hosted by a selector who always brings the joyful vibes.

Support as always comes from resident DJs and enthusiastic limb wigglers, Hannah O'Gorman and Keltoi. They'll be packing their very best wax for this along with party hats, birthday cake and all the usual cosy plants and lamps we've come to expect from the Nossa! dancefloor.
