Store Street, a cornerstone of Manchester's vibrant electronic music scene, is as integral to the city’s nightlife as the beats that reverberate through its arches. Situated beneath the Piccadilly railway station, this subterranean venue is synonymous with The Warehouse Project, a seasonal series of club nights that have become a rite of passage for electronic music enthusiasts. Store Street first opened its doors in 2007, quickly transforming from a nondescript, unassuming location into a pulsating epicenter of dance music.

Its raw, industrial aesthetic, characterized by exposed brickwork and low ceilings, provides an intimate yet electrifying atmosphere that has captivated party-goers for over a decade. Store Street's cultural significance extends beyond its physical confines. It has hosted some of the most memorable nights in the UK clubbing calendar, helping to cement Manchester's status as a global destination for electronic music.

Despite a temporary relocation to Victoria Warehouse in 2011, due to redevelopment, the venue returned to its original cavernous arches in 2014, much to the delight of its loyal following. This return marked a renaissance for Store Street, reinforcing its reputation as a quintessential part of Manchester’s sonic landscape. The venue has seen a few structural tweaks over the years to enhance the clubbing experience, but it has retained its gritty charm and unparalleled acoustics, which are integral to its identity.

The list of artists who have graced Store Street's decks reads like a who's who of electronic music. International luminaries such as Carl Cox, Fatboy Slim, and Nina Kraviz have electrified the space, while pioneering acts like Aphex Twin and The Chemical Brothers have left indelible marks on its history. Local heroes, including the likes of DJ Sasha and Mr.

Scruff, have also found a home here, contributing to the venue's enduring legacy as a melting pot of global and homegrown talent.
