Cassy & Adam Shelton
Overall rating: 4.5

Music was amazing, not too busy, not full of freshers, always able to use toilet, get drinks at bars and use smoking area. Highly recommend Zutekh.

NiCoJaAr
Overall rating: 3

Nicolas Jaar's sound is wicked on a recording - I saw him last year at MELT festival and he played with a live band which really helped with all the jazzy aspects of his music. Didn't appreciate the large amounts of ambient noise and delayed mixes on what was essentially a club night - could have been so much more vibrant! (Skuba and Damu were really quite special though...perhaps Nico shoulda played downstairs

Nicolas Jaar
Overall rating: 4

Despite being oversold/a total crush, Nicolas Jaar was one of the best gigs I've been to in a while. His 10 minute intro soothed what could have been an angry, jostled crowd, almost sending everyone into a trance. His set was blended so well together it passed by in no time, bringing Variations in at a couple of times at different points made time seem much shorter, like it was one long song. Even though his album and most EP's have been quite chilled, the crowd was really energetic, but in a positive way. All in all, good set, good crowd, great gig.

Love will tear us apart with Nicolas Jaar
Overall rating: 4.5

After Warehouse Project was closed, that was just what we needed! I was really excited to hear how does minimal sound in a club - way better than expected. Even though Mr Jaar was not as in to it, as all the audience was, but everyone was loving it! And thank you, Acid Pauli, how long was he playing???? Soo tough!

Fantastic
Overall rating: 4.5

This night was a classic. Layo & Bushwacka really torn it up and with help from the strobe, this really took off. Again, again.

LowDown&Dirty
Overall rating: 5

Early on, music was lounge-y and mellow, by the time I had dropped, gritty basslines galore. Unlike DnB, you can keep up with breaks and the testosterone levels are lower. low down and dirty provides the best breaks in Manchester, no question.

Azari & III were better at Glastonbury!
Overall rating: 3

This is my third visit to Sound Control, and to be honest, the previous two visits were a lot better than this one. It was full of very young kids, who had way too much booze than they can handle. I lot of girls falling all over the place, walking into us, some dodgy guys in there. All our party felt there was an atmosphere in there! We stayed to watch Azari then left by 2.30 am. Was really looking forward to this night but was let down by the idiots in there! It won't stop me from going to another night at Sound Control, but better luck next time guys! PS you need air con in the top floor!!

Majefa Review
Overall rating: 5

Quality night with great people. Ron (Signum), Sean Tyas and Russ (Akira Kayosa) were all terrific to meet and very sociable. The crowd were up for it and very friendly. Hats off to Antonio, he put on a great event!!!
