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.

Deep Groove Disco Session — Mixed by The Funk Assassin
A journey through modern disco gold and timeless soulful reworks, driven by the unmistakable touch of the genre’s finest selectors and remixers. This mix locks you straight into that velvet groove from the opening bars.
Expect heavyweight energy from the start — the Antonello Ferrari & Aldo Bergamasco Club Mix of “Relight My Fire” ignites the floor, paving the way for Dr Packer’s signature multi-track magic on “Do It To The Music.” Dave Lee’s fingerprints run deep throughout: from the Kashif-flavoured tribute on “I’m In Love” to the zoned-in smoothness of “You,” his craftsmanship shapes the heart of this session.
Purple Disco Machine’s edit of “She Can’t Love You” lifts the tempo into that shimmering disco-funk pocket, while Ken@Work flips “Outstanding” into a head-nodding burner. Groovemasta keeps momentum alive with “Still In Love” and “Love Insurance,” locking in a warm, soulful mid-set flow.
Closing out in style, Dave Lee’s Found a Place Mix of “Come Go With Me” rolls effortlessly into the legendary Larry Levan 12” remix of “I Know You Will” — a perfect homage to the roots that shaped dance culture.
This is modern disco done properly: soulful, stylish, and built for dancefloors that know the difference.
Stream, share, and turn it up.
