Hit & Run has been part of the Manchester ‘Bass Music’ scene for over half a decade now, and in that time it has been led on a fairly nomadic existence between a few of the city’s venues, the best of which, most would say is ‘Mint Lounge’. The underground Northern Quarter club seems to suit the fans and the music perfectly and so, when it was announced that the night would return there after a stint at ‘Factory’, many were pleased. The promoters decision to downsize after pulling in big crowds at Factory, simply to keep their main fans happy, must be commended. Hit & Run has always had a bit of a ‘family’ vibe, where most punters will turn up regardless of who’s on, but this had been somewhat lost in the bigger venue.<\/p>\n

The return to Mint Lounge has gone down a storm then, since the turn of the year we’ve already seen a huge mix of artists, dubstep smashers from the likes of Mensah, Heny G & Kito. drum&bass tear outs from B-complex, Icicle and the legendary Calyx and a superb live performances from the sublime Submotion Orchestra and EngineEarz Experiment, who performed with local legend, Jenna G.<\/p>\n

Speaking of local. I cant leave without giving the residents a huge shout. The likes of Rich Reason, Al Sonar, Dom Hz, The Steppahs and many others, often almost putting the headliners to shame. Bring in host MCs Chunky, Strats & Tonn Piper to complete the family and its no wonder folk are coming back week on week- Hit & Run should be fucking up our Tuesdays for years to come!<\/p>\n
