What started as a casual Madchester session to nod to Gary ‘Mani’ Mounfield (Stone Roses & Primal Scream) slipped fast into a full psychedelic plunge through Andrew Weatherall’s heaviest basslines, dubbed-out shadows, and Factory-coded deep cuts. A detour that became the destination — the Manchester Effect in full flight.
This mix moves through the key zones that shaped the city’s sound:
the Madchester pulse, the Haçienda haze, the crossover where indie psychedelia, rave pressure, and low-slung groove blur into one continuum.
The current that carried Manchester from rehearsal rooms to warehouse floors and into club culture’s long memory.

Step inside a world wrapped in velvet, a soundtrack for liminal spaces—where time, emotion, and destiny are in flux.
Velvety Grooves VG002 invites you deeper into the shadows, where the lights glow low and the air hums with a slow, seductive pulse. This is deep, sexy, sultry house at its finest—a soundtrack for late-night whispers and bodies moving in perfect sync.
From the hypnotic touch of Finnebassen’s “When Doves Cry” and “What You Do” to the moody textures of Karmon’s “Circus” and “Wowshit,” every beat drips with warmth and desire. Fly O Tech’s “Funk Me Down” teases with playful basslines, while Finnebassen & Gundelach’s “When It Rains” washes over you in silky waves. Fabian Kash’s “Chrome,” Robosonic’s “The Edge,” Adana Twins’ “Strange,” Climbers’ “Equal Responsibility,” and Schwarz & Funk’s “Bonjour Ibiza” complete the journey—grooves smoother than satin sheets.
Basslines slide under your skin. Chords wash over you like silk. Each track beckons you closer, daring you to stay until the very last note.
Whether you’re lost in your own thoughts under neon lights or tangled up in someone’s arms, Velvety Grooves VG002 is here to make the night feel endless.
Press play. Close your eyes. Let the velvet take over.
