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.

A sun-kissed cruise through smooth grooves, deep soul, and blissed-out house. We kick off with T.Markakis’ “Freak Like Me”, then glide into the cosmic funk of Funktatomic, silky vocals from Paris Grey, and a golden rework of Gretchen Parlato by Opolopo.
DJ Koze’s dreamy disco edit of “Operator” brings the magic, while Louie Vega, DJ Meme, and Yam Who? keep it classy and soulful. A standout moment comes with Stephanie Mills’ “Whatcha Gonna Do With My Lovin’” in a buttery Re-Groove Mix — pure gold for lovers of timeless vocal heat.
Other highlights include Tony Momrelle’s lush “My Paradise,” Ten City’s uplifting “Be Free,” and some silky deep house closers to ease you into the night.
Wrapped in velvet basslines and Balearic breeze, this is your golden-hour soundtrack — smooth, sultry, and made to melt into.
Press play and drift.
