Ableton Forum

Any Live users in the Manchester area?

I'm wanting to start an ableton based night in Manchester and want others to help promote/run it and obviously invite users to come down and play. If your interested come let me know. Of course any one willing to travel to Manchester from surrounding areas are also more than welcome.

Throw any ideas you may have into the mixing pot and help develop a unique night. Allstyles of music welcome.

We could also try and hook up a monthly meeting where we could all get together and discuss techniques and learn from each other, with a few beers thrown in as well!

Are there any similar kinda nights happening anywhere else in the northwest?

Assuming you mean Manchester UK and not Manchester NH...

See this thread...

Yeah mate, Manchester UK!

Good to see so many from the great city on this forum.

So, any ideas for what I mentioned in the post?

I'm from Manchester too. Seems there's a few of us on here.

As it happens I'm djing (with Live) at Indeep at club north (under afflecks) this Friday (26th May)

Sorry for the self-promo, if anyone makes it down say hello.

edit: and to answer the question yeah it might be nice to meet up for a beer sometime Stealth1.

sounds good Robin, I'l try and make it down friday. What beats you into bro?
I used to promote Airtight at Sankey's with Ian Taylor, dunno if you ever went?
I'm mainly into breaks, tech house, that kinda stuff.

Would be interesting to hook up and see what your doing. Maybe Friday at Simple or somewhere around the northern quarter?

peace mate

yeah im another manchester based user too seeing as we are all whoring catch my breakbeat radio show on www.nuskoolbreaks.co.uk every sunday 1- 3pm uk time ableton/vinyl/ms pinky user

I'm based in Cheshire, as are a couple of the other admins from ALDJ. If you do put something together, then please let us know.

Cheers.

i live in manchester, tennessee, usa.

not nearly as cool as the UK.

sigh.

at least its pretty here:

LOL Joshu@

Didn't even realise there was another Manchester, that pic you posted made me laugh, never mind mate, so long as you have ableton keepin you occupied. I bet cow tipping is popular round your way

I'll definitely check your show Klarky, I'm a big breakbeat head myself!

Good to hear your near Manchester, UK, Mr Soprano, the ableton live dj site is cool.

I'm definitely hooking up a gig in the next few weeks, prob end of June, so you, Klarky and your mates will have to come down and play. Just let me know what beats float your boat.

I think an ableton based night would be cool, and seeing as there are a few of us dotted around it would be well worth the effort. Would you be interested in helping to promote/run the night with me as well?

Also, I reckon if we tried to hook up an evening of workshops, that we be beneficial for us all and would also strengthen the whole North West ableton crew. Let me know what your thoughts are. Maybe you already do something similar in chesire, and if thats the case I would love to attend if thats possible. My girlfriends family live in Congleton if thats anywhere close to where you are Tony?

peace,

Adrian

Oh and Klarky, whats ms pinky mate?

@stealth, yeah id be more than happy to lend a hand, be nice to get out of the house more lol!

Safe man, we'll have to hook up and have a chat over a beer. Let me know when best suits you mate.

peace
