WHP returns to Depot Mayfield, Manchester, for a seismic night pushing sonic boundaries. Leading the charge is the indefatigable Sammy Virji, whose high-octane selections and infectious energy have cemented him as one of the most essential acts in contemporary club music. He is joined by house music architect Armand Van Helden, bringing decades-spanning heritage and iconic energy to the industrial halls.
The bill expands further with Arthi, Bakey, and Ben UFO, connecting the dots between UK bass, techno, and forward-thinking club atmospheres. Underground titans Joy Orbison and Diffrent flex their genre-bending approaches side by side with rising names such as Faster Horses, ESC (5), and Ghoulish, promising moments of sonic exploration. Larishka and MALUGI thread new grooves, while salute injects the crowd with heartfelt rave euphoria.
Megra and Pretty Girl offer multidimensional sets fusing emotive house and club sounds, with Mia Koden and Oppidan forthcoming in their fearless blend of breaks and bass. Dublin’s Prozak crosses the Irish Sea to disrupt conventions, standing alongside the crisp percussion and infectious rhythm of Sam Alfred. Rounding out the line up are Silva Bumpa, sim0ne, and SKALA, each pushing their respective niches to the edges of the dance floor.
With a curation that shadows no established borders, WHP presents a night where heritage meets evolution, curated for those driven by dance.
