An oligarch of the Techno world, Drumcode turns 15 this year and has put together an enormous warehouse party to mark the occasion.  What's looking to be one of the techno events of the year will be bringing favourites of the imprint such as Alan Fitzpatrick, Joseph Capriati and of course Adam Beyer to the stage on Saturday october 29th.

As well as the party Drumcode is running a special series of events and releasing a commemorative compilation of Drumcode releases. Over the years Adam Beyer's Drumcode label has become synonymous with the cutting edge of techno. 

For this very special warehouse event on October 29th, Adam Beyer has hand-picked a selection of his favourite artists from the label to play, and he’s invited Drumcode’s sister label Truesoul will host Arch 2. For one night only, catch Adam Beyer, Paul Ritch (live), Joseph Capriati, Alan Fitzpatrick and Patrick Siech under one roof, where they’ll be joined in the second arch by Ida Engberg, Joel Mull and Alexi Delano

Im coming to the end of a year living abroad in Germany and although it's been amazing out here. I never would have thought a year ago that i would ever like minimal techno. However after 12 months of Techno and Bratwurst I have to say I am looking forward to getting my teeth back into the mancunian night life again.

Not just the classical Manchester nights out like Warehouse Project, which obviously has to be reached this year before it leaves its current home of Store Street Car Park at the end of this year, but also the smaller nights with a family vibe like ballin' on a budget. Also recently I've noticed a few new nights being announced of late, something which you can always expect near the start of a new academic year.  So In some sort of bizzare editorial manouvere I thought I'd list a few nights im looking forward to checking when I get back and maybe spread the word on them a bit.

First up this freshers, big friends of ours, Pandemik are returning to Dry Live with another big friend of ours Skeptical and Ulterior Motive on the bill.  I've heard nothing but good things about these nights all year and Al has been regularly in attendance with his camera. I would say Pandemik have got the deep and dark side of drum and bass locked down at the moment in Manchester.  With bookings like Need For Mirrors, Doc Scott, Skeptical and Dub Phizix they've definitely got good taste and big plans for the future. Check out their fresher's event here ...

Next up we've obviously got Soul:Ution at Band On The Wall. A solid and respected monthly in Manchester,  which this month is taking things to a next level with a four hour back to back from the two veteran label bosses Marcus Intalex and Goldie.  Things are definitely going to get heated in there on the 30th. 

Balling on a Budget, one of my favourite nights in manc is still going strong. Definitely looking forward to getting back into Mint Lounge and wileing out to Chimpo for £2. Check out the facebook group for more info on Ballin.  If you don't know about it yet then you need to make sure you hit one up soon.

There's two new nights in a similar vibe to Balling On A Budget starting up next month. Namely More Bounce, a new weekly at the Roadhouse which promises to bring a pile of Bashment, Hip Hop and bass all for £2 on the door.  Reckon this one is definitely worth a cheeky gander. Check out the facebook here ...

The second one kicking off at Trof is on a hip hop tip every friday for just a quid in. Will Not Be Televised has a whole host of manc hip hop heads on the lineup already including Example's Sparkz and Skittles. Check out the lineups here ..

Right im bored now.

"Make It Good Blog" and "Fat Kid On Fire" are celebrating 50 features in their Vs series and have decided to release a free mix and interview with the "We Are All Bastards" crew from Sweden and an interview and free EP from "Wheel and Deal"'s Killowat. 

Head over there and have a look at them ....

We Are All Bastards (Interview + Mix) -

So this month, since it's my last month in Germany after a full year living in Leipzig I thought I would make the cover the Berlin Wall. It was the anniversary of it being built last month and if you don't know anything about the berlin wall you should find out because it was completely mental. Imagine  the government just put up a wall in your city meaning you cant go to work anymore or see your girlfriend.  Or the wall goes right through your house and you have to leave without notice and live somewhere else. That happened in Germany 50 years ago and its worth remembering.  After all it only came down 20 years ago.

So back to normal Example Business.  This month we've got a mix and interview from Joe Seven, famous for his releases with Noisia on their Vision and Invisible imprints. We caught up with FD to see what hes got coming up in the next few months.  Plus we've got our usual reviews column from Mr Sonar and of course photographs from Manchester's best nights.

The last of our festival coverage is also still to come with Skittles heading down to Shambala this weekend and Mikey and Stuart's reports from Big Chill and Nozstock respectively due in any day now.
