So Flute

So Flute Club Night based in Manchester
Previous Guests: Gilles Peterson, Floating Points, Marcellus Pittman, From the bottom up, the night has been built with care.

"So Flute emerged two years ago as a fully-formed idea – namely to bring ‘a melting-pot of worldwide music that focuses on a strong, soulful undercurrent’ to Manchester. This concept has been immaculately realised by a young group of DJs as their own relaxed brand of party has steadily grown into a stalwart of the city’s Friday night calendar. So Flute has become synonymous with fun, forward-think

ing music. Throwing parties in a similar vein to Mr Scruff’s seminal ‘Keep It Unreal’ residency at Band on the Wall down the road may be a no-brainer but the drive and determination to keep things fresh by booking interesting acts from across the globe sets the collective apart from their contemporaries, and the night’s burgeoning success has seen its residents booked at festivals across Europe. In two short years, So Flute has gone from strength to strength. Since its inception, resident tastemakers Baloo, Bolts, Danuka and Yadava have put on monthly shows from up-and-comers like Werkha and Letherette; big-hitters Amir, Andres, and Alexander Nut; and even the Godfather himself, Gilles Peterson, who came to celebrate SF’s first birthday celebrations a year ago. Such diverse bookings keep the So Flute team standing out from the crowd. By assembling such a strong cast of boundary-pushing crate-diggers, brought in for their nous rather than their name, the shows retain a relaxed vibe that keeps fans coming back for more every month, rather than chasing numbers."

INSIDE THE VIBE 🪩 Here’s your Autumn line-up for our Saturday 4th October session at The Carlton Club.

We’re delighted to welcome good friend and amazing selector Camilla Reghenzi for her SF debut. Expect loads of that Italian 🇮🇹 heat as she treats us to her endless list of Mediterranean nuggets amongst plenty of other worldwide sounds. We’ll no doubt be battling the temptation to find a quiet corner to shamelessly Shazam her entire set…

Then, back from his travels in South America, we welcome back everyone’s favourite cheeky boy, the hugely talented and sorely missed Werkha 💜 expect the usual bouncy, dancefloor lushness and a few surprises from his travels south of the equator.

Danuka, Yadava and Eccah make up the rest of the line up, with the best MC in the universe, Kwasi, keeping everyone smiling from start to finish.
