Repercussion at Depot Mayfield

Marking the official start of The Warehouse Project’s 2024 season, Repercussion is back with a huge day-to-night party celebrating dance music in all its forms.

The organisers are pulling no punches for the fourth instalment of Repercussion, which will take over the full expanse of Depot Mayfield as well as Temperance Street, Star & Garter, Freight Island’s Plant Room and – new for WHP24 – the roof above Depot Mayfield. It’s fair to say that parties in Manchester don’t get much bigger than this.

And there’s a line-up to match the scale of it all, featuring some of the most revered names in electronic music. Enter the three-time GRAMMY-nominated Bonobo, whose dizzying career has been in constant acceleration over the last 20 years, and has seen him work with everyone from Erykah Badu to Jon Hopkins, fill arenas with his live band, and DJ in the world’s coolest clubs. Fresh from his recent Outlier showcase at The Warehouse Project’s first Australia edition, he’s set to bring another explorative DJ set to Repercussion.

Also headlining are funk and soul collective Jungle, who shot out of the blocks in 2014 with hit single ‘Busy Earnin’, before their debut album’s lazing dance grooves, fiery funk hooks and group falsetto vocals scooped a Mercury nomination and a year-long global tour as a seven-piece live act. They’ve been going strong ever since, dropping their fourth album Volcano to wide acclaim last summer. Expect a life-affirming live set that brings together euphoric disco, funk breakbeats and bone-rattling bass.

The Concourse line-up is curated by Honey Dijon, and features Rhythm Section’s founder Bradley Zero, “amapiano’s global ambassadors” (DJ Mag) Major League DJz, and hero of the underground house and techno scene, Josh Caffé. Under the archway at Archive, YES takes over the stage and brings to it Manchester’s own Anz alongside Hamdi, Bakey, Love Remain, Aletha, Tañ, and Jim Bane.

As for that new stage, The Roof is an intimate loft space that apparently offers rare views of the Manchester skyline. For its debut at Repercussion it’ll be hosted by Luke Una presents É Soul Cultura, who’ll DJ alongside the likes of deep house pioneer Chez Damier, Chilean artist Paula Tape and Manchester’s own Joey T.

Spilling out to Temperance Street, Manchester-based party collective Habitat bring their biggest street party yet, while Star & Garter will play host to the city’s newest online community radio station, Crop Radio. Finally, the Plant Room at Freight Island will be packed with local underground legends, including Mikey D.O.N and Levi Love.
