Hit & Run continues its forward-thinking run with a return to Hidden Manchester, presenting an essential 1985 Music showcase this November. The label’s propulsive energy and genre-fusing breadth align perfectly with the city’s underground spirit, promising a night loaded with heady atmospheres and bassweight selections. Alix Perez leads the charge, bringing the deep, rolling sound that has defined 1985 Music’s trajectory over the past decade.

Parisian trio Visages and Cesco join with a fusion of experimental breaks and sharp-edged rhythms, while Napes flexes his command of rugged low-end mutations. The ever-reliable SP:MC steps up as master of ceremonies, threading the evening’s narrative with his signature vocal finesse. SICARIA, formerly known as one half of Sicaria Sound, delivers her distinctive take on percussive UK bass, slotting into an eclectic roster alongside residents Settle Down and Metrodome, whose fearless sets have become local legend.

Biome and T-Man further represent Manchester, serving up heavy subs and intricate lyricism to ensure the dancefloor doesn’t let up. With full-spectrum programming across Hidden’s labyrinthine spaces, this night marks a rare opportunity to experience the connective tissue between UK club music’s past, present and future. Expect low ceiling energy, uncompromising soundsystem pressure and a gathering of peers under the radar.

Advance tickets strongly recommended.
