Hidden and Denham Audio are joining forces for a proper brilliant afternoon and evening of electronic music in Castlefield this May. You'll catch Danny Rankin, Hugo Chegwin and a stellar lineup of guest DJs spinning quality house and techno across the day, and the best bit is it's completely free to get in. If you're into your underground sounds and want to discover fresh talent without breaking the bank, this is absolutely worth your Saturday.
Hidden has carved out a real reputation as one of Manchester's finest underground venues, tucked away in the heart of Castlefield with its gritty brick walls and intimate dancefloor. The area itself is buzzing on weekends with independent bars, restaurants and galleries, so you can easily make a proper day of it exploring the neighbourhood before the music kicks off. The vibe here is genuinely welcoming – it's about the music and the community, not pretentious gatekeeping.
Getting there's easy enough via tram or bus into Castlefield, or if you're driving there's reasonable parking nearby. Doors open at 4pm, so arrive early to soak up the atmosphere and grab a drink before the DJs get going. Bring mates, wear something you can actually move in, and prepare yourself for a proper buzzing Manchester night out – just remember it's 18+ only.
