Jesse Maas + Hidde van Wee | Joshua Brooks Manchester

Two of the Netherlands' most in-demand house exports take Princess Street for a night plugged straight into the PIV, Up The Stuss and Eastenderz axis. Jesse Maas and Hidde van Wee share top billing, with resident Inflair handling warm-up duties.
Jesse Maas is a longstanding figure in the PIV Records crew, with a catalogue that runs through Berg Audio, Blind Vision and Eastenderz before stepping up into a run of releases that have widened his reach considerably.

In Essence landed on Locus in 2024, Electrowise followed on Solid Grooves Raw, and the Cheeky Boy EP with Litmus arrived via Shall Not Fade. 2025 brought the All Nude EP on Josh Baker's You&Me Records and Gross Weight on the fabric presents Carlita compilation. Sanctuary lands on Rawax in March 2026, with further work due on Haven Trax. He's a regular at Shelter Amsterdam, Thuishaven and Sugar Factory, and London crowds caught him this year at 93 Feet East and Ministry of Sound.
Hidde van Wee's 2025 trajectory has been one of the more notable in Dutch house. The Amersfoort producer dropped Aspire To Inspire on Chris Stussy's Up The Stuss in May, recorded Up The Stuss Radio 24 to mark the release, and followed up with Ebullience 002 in November.

January 2026 brought Hold On Tight on Insomniac's Factory 93 imprint, with Shamans Vision out now via Eastenderz. Earlier work on Heavy House Society and Rossi's HOME//GRXWN laid the foundations, and his sets pull deep house, minimal, UK garage and electro through the same filter.

Local support comes from Inflair, the Joshua Brooks resident who knows the room and its rig better than most. A proper vinyl head with a deep working knowledge of UK tech house, funky house and minimal, his own productions have landed on Origins, Inermu, Whippin, Clarisse and Planet Haze. Warm-up sets that earn their place on the lineup, not just the start time.

The basement on Princess Street remains one of the city's most committed underground rooms. The Void Acoustics rig and low bricked arches were built for exactly this kind of music, where the bass sits in your chest and every detail in the mix carries. 
Maas and van Wee both make records for proper sound systems in proper club spaces, and there are few rooms in the city better suited to it.

See you down there.
