Mancbeth – The DJ set (or how to crowdsource your playlist)

I had the pleasure of DJ-ing the afterparty of Mancbeth at Modern Art Oxford. As you may be able to tell, Mancbeth is an updated retelling of Shakespeare’s Macbeth set in the 90s clubbing scene in Manchester. There’s more info below but if you just want to stream / download the set here you go:

Mancbeth was the brainchild of TM collaborator and chum Octavia Freud who went out in Manchester in the 90s so it was a subject close to his heart. As soon as he asked me to do it, I immediately thought I’d get some Hacienda-style classics so I came up with a playlist of some of those and some more recent stuff too. I actually asked my brother in law Matt if he could suggest some stuff to play too as it’s a scene he knew well too. Here’s the notes he sent me:

As a bit of a bonus, here’s a draft mix I did a few weeks before the actual event as a practice. It’s a bit longer so I managed t get more of the suggestions I was sent in to the mix but I was happier with some of the mixes in the actual set so swings and roundabouts I guess.
