High Hoops is great and has a lovely mixed crowd, same goes for Banana Hill (shouts to Marcos, Robbie and Chris respectively). Wet Play is a special vibe, W.O.M – for harder stuff Jon K and Tom Boogizm’s Pariahs for the all round mind benders. What are some of your favourite parties to go to? Piccadilly is the spot! But all of the record shops are great. Where’s your favourite place to buy records in Manny? Now for some Manchester focussed questions… My Limbo Radio show is great because it allows me to play absolutely everything that I’m in to, with out restrictions. Can you give us a run-through of the idea behind the show and how you got involved? Well, I suppose it totally depends on the party, but generally making sure everyone has fun! What’s your approach when playing in the club? You first came to my attention as a resident at Hi Ku, when you dropped Laid Back – “White Horse”, a song that rarely gets played out. It ran for three years and we made lots of mistakes, but had some great parties and met a lot of lovely people in the process. I co ran a party called Hi Ku with my friends Tom Laidler and Lucas Holt.
How did you become involved in the music scene in Manchester? Was there a particular Segway into the scene? That was when I was 13, and they have been a massive part of me musically ever since. He had a load of hip hop and funk records that we used to mess about with, trying to scratch, but I remember he had Kraftwerk – Boing Boom Tschack and it blew my mind. Got to be Kraftwerk! My mates brother had a set of Stanton turntables and we used to run home from school to get there before him so we could have a blast on them. Your sets are renowned for their varied nature so you must’ve been interested in music for a while? What was the first band or artist that piqued your interest that you still play now? But don’t get me wrong, Newcastle has a small yet dedicated and passionate scene and there is a lot of people doing great things, less inhibited by a reputation that Manchester has. Manchester is bigger, so there’s obviously more scope for promoters/parties to take risks, and in some ways Manchester is more open minded in its approach to music. Now you’ve moved to Manchester, how does it compare to back where you first started?
Well me and my friends used to buy crap records and play at house parties, but I had my first club gig at a great party called Inertia at World Headquarters, which is the club we grew up in. You started playing out in Newcastle… How did you first get involved? My parents both have fairy limited record collections but i do remember listening to Beatles tapes in the car, along with the Grease soundtrack and Nelly the Elephant, real formative stuff ya dig?! He answered a few questions before compiling this mix, that heads left into the ambient and post-punk territories of Optimo and the Salons des Amateurs family.įirst, our usual ice-breaker.
His party Bakk.Heia was one of our favourite nights last month when he played his closing set at The White Hotel to a sizeable crowd who’d stuck around till 8am, he secured a lot of hearts, buoyed into the early hours with the superior tune selection. Jack Tomson AKA Bitzer Maloney, is a resident on local Manchester radio, Limbo and has appeared on Nextup Throwback’s own Afternoon Breakfast Show on Reform Radio.
