Laidback Luke

Laidback Luke returns to Manchester for a Friday night in the Joshua Brooks basement, bringing UNDER/GROUND to the room. With a career spanning over three decades, Luke has remained a constant presence in global house music, bridging early Dutch and bloghouse sounds with modern club culture. His influence stretches across generations, with long-standing ties to artists such as Avicii and Afrojack, and a catalogue that continues to evolve rather than settle. Recent releases mark a clear shift back toward tougher, club-focused material. His CODE/RED EP, released following a new chapter with Steve Aoki's Dim Mak, reflects a renewed focus on raw energy and stripped-back production, drawing heavily on the sound that shaped his early reputation. This session takes place in the Joshua Brooks basement: an intimate, close-quarters room defined by bricked arches and a Void Acoustics sound system. Expect a long-form set where older influences and current material sit side by side, locked into the room from start to finish. Tickets are limited and released in phases.
