The White Hotel
// Immersive club night New Folklore returns to Manchester's favourite boozer
\ Syntax has become a firm local favourite for their sharp instincts and restless movement. Her intuitive, fluid style folds together disparate tempos, eras, and genres, making every set unpredictable. A White Hotel regular and Hidden resident, she’s also made appearances at festivals like Bangface, Boomtown and Balter, and events across Europe
// Born in Sligo and now a familiar figure in Manchester’s club circuit, Nestor brings a focused, physical strain of techno. A versatile artist working under both Nestor and Paragon, his productions span a broad sonic palette, with an impressive catalogue of releases
\ Gloss resident Sheri brings a bass-heavy, percussive, grooving sound inspired by the sounds of the African diaspora. Her wide-ranging sets draw from UK funky, baile, grime, and much more
// Rounding out the bill, New Folklore residents Dyphnos & Affect Static open the evening with an hour of gritty broken rhythms
\ Everything loud, leftfield, and hypnotic
// 50% of profits donated to charity
