The Manchester Bounce: A celebration of soundsystem culture.

Dance Policy and @soup_manchester, in partnership with @drmartensofficial, are celebrating the communities that built Manchester’s scene today - with an intergenerational lineup of artists hailing from the city’s suburbs of Hulme, Moss Side, Wythenshawe, and beyond.

Alongside the party, we’re featuring an exhibition by Hulme’s staple photographer @hulmeloonies1 and a conversation hosted by @privatejoypops that examines the past, present, and future of Manchester’s soundsystem culture.

Join us on the 15th October for an evening of music, photography, and discussion about the things that make our soles bounce.

Entry requires a free RSVP ticket and may be subject to venue capacity, tickets on RA.

Thank you to @joecotch @weareraven

Johnboy.

This world was yours my guy.
You showed up for all of us, every time.
You were a pillar of our circle, our community.
You inspired us.
You held us together and always delivered a Strictly Good Time. Without fail.
You brought us so much joy.

You were chosen family over everything.

Even on your last day in this world, we were together.

My Broski.

You’ll be missed beyond measure.

'More Birthday, More Life, More Happiness, More Spirituality, More Movement'

Rest easy up there. Until we meet again. Front left?

#EastBank by @privatejoypops

One of Manchester’s great modern musical polymaths, performing live at a Lake District love-in.

Singer, producer, multi-instrumentalist, record-collector and all around aficionado of good shit, Pops’ music hits like a warm hug in your favourite pub on a miserable wet day. Encapsulating our beloved shared hometown, she packs an idiosyncratic charm into every note of her unique discography.

Starting out with local neo-soul collective Lovescene, PJ has been one busy old Manny bee since her balearic street soul belter collab with legend Ruf Dug. Between then and now she’s released her debut solo EP on Rhythm Section and put out a heady catalogue of features and collabs with UK legends ranging from Shy One to DNB royalty Lenzman. An SP office fave being her G-funk licked re-imagining of The Colours That Rise’s Deep Space last year.

A genuine eclecticist, PJ’s music takes her cues from across the entire soul-jazz-continuum, from babymaking R&B slo-jams, to smoky boudoir sophisti-pop, to unmistakably UK broken beat steppers. True to her name, derived from a disco-synth b-side baddie from the late great Prince, her music is personal, intimate and ultimately an absolute joy.

Smiles abound for this one. by @privatejoypops

Mad love to everyone at @villiageundergroundlondon especially the front row singers 😍 ❤️

Thanks to @shyclart and @touching_bass for having me warm up the dance

What a lovely lot, what a moment in time. by @privatejoypops

MAGIC 💫💫💫💫💫
This place has always been magic for me and I've left inspired, full of love and wonderful friends....and always blown away by the curations and environment behind and in front of the stage.

So PLAYING that gorgeous beach alongside my HEROES was actually unbelievable...a full circle moment truly.
Thank you @worldwide_festival_sete from the bottom of my heart for existing and letting me share the space.
Huge love to @ivan_halen_semeria @gillespeterson @slydawise83 and the family it takes to pull off a consistently beautiful week and @pierrenocca
For capturing the madness with a smile.

To everyone who vibed and gave me such loving words after - you don't know how much I've taken with me for the year ahead. You're well and truly in my heart.
