V2 | Via Fossa Canal Street Mix

This mix takes its name from V2, the downstairs bar at Via Fossa on Canal Street in Manchester, where I used to DJ regularly.

V2 was the name given to the lower level of the venue, a space with its own bar area and DJ booth that quickly developed its own atmosphere within the club. It was a great room to play in and always attracted a lively crowd from the Village.

The mix reflects the kind of sound that worked well there, chunky house with dirty and progressive elements, built for a packed dancefloor and late night energy.

Manchester Pride is one of the biggest weekends in the city’s calendar, with thousands of people heading into the Gay Village around Canal Street for a weekend of celebrations, music and packed dancefloors. I was playing across the Pride weekend, so this mix was recorded to help set the tone before the party started.

Expect a blend of funky, dirty and progressive house, bringing together the kind of tracks that worked perfectly for a Pride crowd.

Ultra Dirt 11! | Dirty House Mix

Ultra Dirt 11 continues the Ultra Dirt journey with another mix packed full of driving house beats and a darker club sound.

The series had already built a strong identity by this point, offering something heavier and more twisted than my usual funky house style. This mix keeps that balance of energy, bass and underground attitude that made Ultra Dirt stand out.
