Inclusivity and diversity, dance music, the underground, and, most importantly, community - these are Club Curated’s four key values.

The Manchester collective, made up of artists and promoters, is focused on championing the next generation of grassroots artists. 

Collaborating with KTMX Studios, their weekly broadcast platform, Club Culture, was created to give the next generation of artists a platform. And since it can be tricky when you’re at the start of your journey as an artist, they welcome people into the studio to practice, offering a hand to those just getting into production. 

Regularly meeting at KTMX to make music, run the decks, and host sessions, Club Curated continues to build and strengthen its friendly, supportive community of artists. 

Club Curated also hosts multigenre parties and raves, taking over The Eagle in Salford every month for open deck parties. Their next event, Club Culture Live, fuses their radio show and their raves, taking the party to Off The Square for a good few hours of UK bass music. 

Founded by PJ (aka DJ Fxckbout), she, with her partner Fred, who owns KTMX Studios, realised they could fuse the two, creating a community hotspot and meeting ground for artists. Championing the underground since 2023, this is Club Curated.
