♬ Red Alert – Jaxx Radio Mix – Basement Jaxx

So… Basement Jaxx. Thirty years deep in the game and were still throwing down like it’s 1999. They came along to Manchester’s Castlefield Bowl as part of the Sounds of the City.

I hadn’t even looked at the full line-up (as it was a last minut, 10am Carl special of…do you want to go to a gig tonight), so when out comes Mike Skinner with a DJ set, I was well chuffed.

The crowd was a total mash-up of people, there was camp carnival energy and then the absolute skank heads, but all mixed and just dancing their tits off as one.

And because Kerry & Carl nights are never just one drink and home, we did what any stupid 45 year old woman and her almost 50 year old fella would do and ended up in a karaoke bar until 4am, full of regrets the morning after…abso-fuckin-lutely.
