THE DEAF INSTITUTE
MANCHESTER
10PM ‘TIL 4am
£10
El Diablo’s (in conjunction with Strut Records) makes a glorious return to the The Deaf Institute to host an exclusive party with one of the UK’s best-loved dancefloor doyens, Mr. Norman Jay.
Norman and his brother Joey first set up the legendary Good Times Soundsystem back in 1981, the start of a 30-year residency at Notting Hill Carnival. From Good Times, Jay’s career burgeoned. He became a key DJ during the ‘80s London rare groove scene, hosting a series of legendary clubs – Shake ‘N’ Fingerpop, High On Hope (inspired by New York’s Paradise Garage) and famed sessions at London’s Bass Clef (later the Blue Note), all of which built his reputation for open-minded soulful selections spanning soul, funk, disco, early house, reggae and hip hop. Jay’s tireless work as a DJ has earned him many accolades – he has appeared on the BBC’s Question Time, and received an MBE for his work in 2002, the first time any DJ had received such an accolade.
This summer Strut Records put out a typically fantastic compilation in celebration of the 30th anniversary of Good Times. Tracks include boogie rarity ‘Dreamin’ by short-lived band Zalmac and Fries & Bridges’ ‘Forever This’, a 4x4 belter featuring an early vocal by chart superstar Cee-Lo Green. Jay touches on independent hip hop with Basement Chemist, jazz grooves courtesy of Kira Neris and Attic Tree, skanking reggae from Jacob Miller and doo-wop soul courtesy of Little Anthony & The Imperials.
El Diablo’s are proud to be hosting the official North West launch party for this excellent release. Do not miss the chance to hear Norman knocking out a roof-lifting set for a reverential, groove-hungry Manchester crowd!

A new decade and new beginnings for all, us included. Our first party of the year, in conjunction with the amazing Garden Festival, just so happens to be our last at the Deaf Institute. In the name of keeping things fresh and on point, we’ll be taking affairs a little more clandestine and underground…keep your eyes peeled for more details of basement business and periodical uber-raves comin’ at yer very soon !
And who better …to bid us adieu from our current home than one of our very first and very finest guests from back in the day (2004), Mr Greg Wilson!
Since that Sunday evening in Tribeca, not only has Greg played for us numerous other times, he’s also gone on to pretty much (re)conquer the world of disco once again, touring the world and gigging relentlessly as a new generation of clubber falls under his charm. The king of the edit, Ruthless Rap Assassin producer, first person to beat match on British TV, chronicler of black origin music and now one of the most prolific and skilled remixers around, it’s been a long time coming but it’s an immense honour to welcome our old friend back with his trusty Revox reel to reel, for a super exclusive 3 hour set!
Come on down and help us say farewell to our home for the last three years with one of the true masters of the DJing art by taking the roof off the Music Hall one last time. In association with The Garden Festival, the Adriatic proto-Ibiza, this show forms part of their official Garden Get Together Tour tour.
The Garden Festival runs from 6th – 13th July in Petracane, Croatia. For more info and line ups check out http://www.thegardenfestival.eu/ – Trust me, it’s amazing!!

The Garden Festival:
http://www.thegardenfestival.eu/
We’re back in the house after our adventures at Glastonbury and The Garden Festival and in the zone, bringing da party to Mancunia once more. Fresh (fresh)…exciting, yes it’s a residents party to lever you into the groove before we unleash our arsenal of stellar guests over the coming months.
That said, our resident, Neil Scott, is no ordinary DJ. Fast becoming an in demand Disco & House selectors, with bookings a plenty and releases imminent, he’s making a grande name for himself, despite already being a Manchestershire institution, having held residencies around the city for the likes of Electriks and played for just about everyone in the locale. His sets are compelling and his records excelling. You can also find him sometimes behind the counter at Piccadilly Records.
Pulling up to the bumper with Neil is Electriks stalwart David Walker. Long time Piccadilly Records staffer, Harter St Lounge louche and Nish party monster, Dave rings the bell on average disco DJs and leaves them sprawling in his wake. Rave and Dave sleep arm in arm and dance cheek to cheek.
Tonight we’ll also be welcoming some surprise guests from our recent summer travels.
