Oden & Fatzo (Live) at Joshua Brooks

Four years after their Joshua Brooks debut, Oden & Fatzo return to Manchester for a Friday night live performance in the basement.

Comprising William (Fatzo), Alexandre and Abel (Oden), the Paris-based trio operate strictly as a live act, not DJs. Every show is built in real time using a full hardware setup, with tracks constructed element by element on stage. It’s an approach that has become their calling card across clubs and festivals internationally.

Their wider breakthrough came with “Lauren (I Can’t Stay Forever)”, a reworked version of the Men I Trust original that went on to achieve UK Platinum certification, surpass 80 million Spotify streams, and reach #29 in the UK charts. The track spent six weeks on BBC Radio 1’s A-list and remains central to their live sets.

Since signing to Defected Records in 2023, Oden & Fatzo have continued to build momentum with releases including “Lady Love” (with Camden Cox), “Tell Me What You Want” (with Poppy Baskcomb), plus 2025 releases “Only You” and “Only For Tonight”. They currently sit at 2.7 million monthly Spotify listeners.

Live credentials include a viral Boiler Room set at FLY Open Air (2022), a landmark Cercle Festival performance beneath the Concorde aircraft, an ANTS residency at Ushuaïa Ibiza, and headline shows at E1 London and Village Underground. Manchester appearances since their 2022 JB show include Parklife, New Century, and Warehouse Project at Depot Mayfield.

This date sees them return to Joshua Brooks’ basement — an intimate setting suited to a live rig, close-range crowd energy, and a performance-led club night.
