Newly founded Manchester-based night Shaped are welcoming Dirtybird crew member Justin Martin to headline The Ritz on Friday 22nd August.

In a scene bursting at the seams with new nights, it's vital for emerging events to set themselves apart from the rest, and Shaped have done exactly that by showcasing a huge line up for their launch. Shaped was born with a focus around house, techno and above all, good times.

Topping the bill for the first Shaped event is Justin Martin. Justin is the co-founder, alongside Claude VonStroke, of one of the biggest bass house labels on the planet, Dirtybird. His most recognisable release, Don't Go from 2012 showcased his ability to tap into a wider audience and still receives plays by DJs from far and wide.

Also playing Shaped's launch event are Kry Wolf. The two Portsmouth lads are also a dab hand at running a successful label, they created Food Music alongside Shadow Child. Their quality, bass-heavy approach is apparent not only in their own original tracks, but also in their remixes (check out their remix of My Nu Leng's Hips n' thighs above).

House legend Doorly will also be joining the bill. Support comes from Neux Yeux. Get tickets here.
