Moxy Muzik: Darius Syrossian & Friends at Joshua Brooks
Moxy Muzik is bringing the heat to Manchester this August with a brilliant night headlined by Darius Syrossian, a heavyweight in the underground techno scene who's renowned for delivering absolutely relentless sets that keep dancefloors moving until sunrise. If you're after proper, stripped-back techno from a selector who knows his stuff, this is exactly the kind of event that makes Manchester's clubbing reputation. With support from Friends, you're guaranteed an evening of quality electronic music that rewards the dedicated ravers.
Joshua Brooks sits right in the heart of Manchester city centre on Registration Street, and it's one of the best-loved independent venues in town for good reason. The intimate setup means you're close to the action, the sound system is genuinely excellent, and there's a real community vibe that sets it apart from the bigger supersized clubs. It's the perfect size for techno – not too massive, not too claustrophobic.
Getting in is straightforward – just head into the city centre and follow the signs, or grab a tram if you're coming from further out. Doors open at 10pm, though Darius Syrossian will likely be on later in the night, so time your arrival accordingly. Tickets are a bargain at £8-£12, and remember it's strictly 18+ only. Bring cash if you can – Manchester's venues appreciate it.
