DJ Deliciuos and Till West will what they do best and cause a bit of mischief in the main room. Having packed out another Manchester club earlier in year, AREA51 are delighted to have these guys behind the decks. Every single release from his various projects – like DJ Delicious & Till West "Same man", Phunk-A-Delic presented by DJ Delicious, "Rockin" or the DJ Delicious solo releases "Let it drop" and "Jaja" – has "exploded" on the worldwide scene so powerfully that they almost completely dominated all the relevant dance charts. Indeed they were – and still are – featured in the playlists of almost every international big-name DJ.
The dirty sexy basslines, twisted funk and minimal house always leave the dancefloor begging for more.With the amazing lighting system, that has to be seen to be believed and a fantastic Funktion One sound system, AREA51 has already begun to revolutionize clubbing in Manchester! The stunning main dance-floor, along with the plush side chill-out area makes this one of the best and most original club spaces in the UK. This June will certainly get the summer started so get your dancing shoes on and come check it out!
