2.11.13 illumiNaughty :: Halloween Central :: Festival Extraordinaire (Manchester)



5nzv.jpg




Alright revellers, it’s time to get your groove on because Manchester’s biggest indoor festival returns, this time with a Halloween twist! Show-makers illumiNaughty will once again be weaving their production magic to create a massive multi-genre bass-filled party paradise!



Manchester Academy will be transformed into a metropolis of madness – bringing to you an epic clubbing experience not to be missed. Spooks, ghouls, goblins and fools will frolic through the night all the way to the afterlife in a FOUR-FLOORED musical maze. Illuminaughty and their good friends are set to deliver a hefty dose of festival cravings under one roof.



Whether you’d rather dance with the devil to some gnarly BREAKS in “Hell”, prance in “Purgatory” to ELECTRO-SWING, wait to reincarnate yourself with some GHETTO SOUL FUNK in the “Elysian Fields” or swirl with the seraphs in TRANCE “Heaven”… whatever your choice you will be indulged in an alchemy of prime underground sounds.



THERE'S ONLY ONE PLACE TO BE THIS HALLOWEEN!!!

Tristan



a583.jpg




With a career as long as psy-trance has history, Tristan has been a constant in the ever-changing outdoor festival scene for many years. Playing at some of the most important festivals across the globe, Tristan and his music has a massive following of dedicated fans who love his full-on journeys of deep gurgling psychedelia. Tristan’s innate sense of the dancefloor and full power psychedelic moments place him in a league of only the very highest calibre of producer. Having collaborated with pretty much every other ‘big’ name in trance at some point and releasing 2 classic albums for the famed Twisted Records, Tristan has moved into a new arena, and is now fully onboard with the NANO Records family, who are currently blazing a trail through psy-dom with their passionate approach to good times and good music!

Dutty Moonshine




hbcu.jpg






Furley is the producer for Dutty Moonshine, he makes all our music (what a badass). Mike makes tea, pretends to make phone calls and chats bollocks to people.


We are NOT both the Vaudeville Rave (UK's oldest Electro Swing night), this is an event Mike puts on with his EVENT partner Jo Lovesey. Furley has nothing to do with it other than graphic design although one day we may get a special Furlesque act.


And last but not least, we're not brothers. Mike is actually Furley's Mum....it involves a time machine and a cheeseburger....don't ask

Illuminaughty’s Bank Holiday Extravaganza Review!!

It was sometime past 3am, as I watched an impromptu conga line snake through the Speakeasy room of Illuminaughty’s Bank Holiday Extravaganza party to an electro remix of Wild Cherry’s 1970s classic “Play That Funky Music”, that it sunk in: this ain’t just a psytrance party anymore. Illuminaughty may have already firmly established itself as one of the most legendary psy events in the country, but since the itinerant Illumi-goblins set down permanently at the Manchester Academy at the start of 2013, the size and scope of the event has expanded far beyond the psychedelic remit. While nowhere will ever match the atmosphere of the event’s spiritual home at the Ritz, the move to the Academy has given the organisers license to go crazy. Sprawling across three floors and an outdoor arena that cover psy, breaks, electro swing and drum ‘n bass, 2013-model Illuminaughty is the closest you can come to an indoor festival, complete with the atmosphere, the antics and the sheer variety to suit every party-goer.

With so much going on it’s literally impossible for anyone to catch more than a quarter of the musical delights on offer, so a healthy degree of room-hopping is in order. The thousand-capacity main room pumped out full-on psychedelic trance all night from headliners Lucas and Hypnocoustics and the clutch of resident DJs, with jaw-dropping visuals and production design combining with some amazing outfits and fancy dress from the always-amazing crowd to create a mind-melting main room psychedelic experience. Dipping in and out all night, we were particularly impressed by resident Matt Lickess’ set, which took a crowd still finding their feet early in the night and whipped them up into a frenzy.

Downstairs in the basement, the IllumiNasty residents served up a generous dose of twisted crunching breakbeat funk to augment the riotous electro noise of Far Too Loud and the storming psy-breaks of Bad Tango. For sheer foot-stomping dirty second room madness this room was probably the most fun of all, and it’s just a shame it wasn’t discovered by more of the crowd.

Back up on the ground floor, Leeds’ finest electro swing crew Speakeasy had made the trip across the Pennines to take over the Union Bar, with promoter Wolfie Razzamtazz more than happy to step behind the turntables and lay down the funk, while outside in the smoking area Manchester’s premier bass ambassadors Drop Productions brought drum ‘n bass to the table and were welcomed with open arms. Both of these rooms brought something fresh to the Illuminaughty equation and offered a welcome alternative to the relentless intensity of the other arenas. More of the same next time, please! Apparently there was even a silent cinema to be discovered somewhere in the building, but sadly we didn’t get time to take it in.

The Union Bar also doubled up as the Market Hall where a plethora of quirky stalls peddled their home-crafted fluorescent wares to all comers. Amidst all the chaos, this was a reminder of what makes Illuminaughty so special. Take away the jaw-dropping production and decor and forget about the high quality DJs and performers and you still have a right-minded rave collective prepared to collaborate with creative-minded people of all backgrounds, fostering an inclusive community spirit that helps generate the unbelievable atmosphere at every party. In this age of uber-commercialised club nights and cynical promoters, here is a lesson on how to run a party. Already legendary throughout Manchester and beyond, on the evidence of the Bank Holiday Extravaganza, the Illuminaughty party is only just getting started.

We would just like to say a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone involved in making what was undoubtedly one of our best parties to date, such a success!!!

From the core team who have worked tirelessly for three months; planning, organizing and marketing this event, to the street team who spent so many days and nights in the cold and rain spreading the word, to the production crew who worked solidly for three days transforming Manchester Academy into a mystical Halloween wonderland, to the fantastic performers, DJ’s, bands, Stage Managers, Runners, Photographers, Videographers, Stall holder, volunteers, the Manchester Academy staff and of course Drop Productions for once again providing a great outdoor stage! You all did a fantastic job and we cannot thank you enough for your support and hard work!

Of course, the biggest thank you of all goes to the amazing crowd who are the most fun, friendly and down to earth bunch we could ever ask for! Saturday night was as always, full to the brim with positive vibes and happy, smiling faces! Without all of you illumiNaughty would not have become an event that we are all so proud to be part off. WE FUCKING LOVE YOU!!! BIIIG LOVE AND CHAOS TO YOU ALL and we hope to see you at one of our next installments!

xxx
