Solar have enjoyed a strong opening three months. Since setting up shop at Gorilla at the beginning of the year, the Manchester based techno and house curators have welcomed the likes of Martin Buttrich, Robert Dietz and most recently Monika Kruse to the supreme under the railway tracks venue. Their end of year party continues that house and techno pedigree.

The 28th December sees Rekids, Leftroom, Get Physcial, Cocoon, Fina, 8bit, and Crosstown Rebels mainstay Simon Baker take centre stage. In between a heavy touring schedule taking in Asia, Australasia, Europe and America, and an incredible amount of output on varying labels, Simon Baker has forged for himself a reputations as one of the most respected, uncompromising figures in techno.

From kicking off his production career with the eye watering track 'Plastik' Baker has failed to put a foot wrong, blancing the production resume playing venues like Panorama Bar, Fabric and Watergate. This summer has seen him and Geddes launch their new label and brand NoFitState, and has in super quick time become an unparalleled home for music that lives somewhere in the uncharted nether regions between house and techno.

So it makes sense to invited Geddes down to, who will also gets in on the action for NoFitState's arrival in Manchester. With a slew of releases on labels like Tsuba, Mobilee and Moodmusic, the London based house and techno stalwart has been consistently injecting freshness and new approaches into his sets and productions. With a staunch following and a career that already is impressive, his work with NoFitState has seen him cement his impeccable reputation.

Od Muzique, Jimmy Switch and Audax round off NoFitState's hotly anticipated takeover at Gorilla. It's a mighty way to end what has been a blistering 2013 for Solar.
