Since its inception in 2006, The Warehouse Project (WHP) has taken root in many different venues across Manchester, including its legendary stint at Store Street. In 2019, it settled into the former railway yard and Royal Mail distribution centre that is Depot Mayfield, renovating it into the mammoth multi-purpose venue that it is now. The space has kept its raw, industrial feel, with exposed bricks, concrete floors, and vast iron framework.
Last season alone, WHP had the likes of Bicep, Four Tet, Leftfield, Peggy Gou, Yung Singh and Honey Dijon come through, with a star-studded list of resident DJs on rotation that include I. JORDAN, Interplanetary Criminal, Effy and Aletha. Spring this year will see the launch of a new series called ARCHIVE ONLY, where artists such as Daphni, Girls Don’t Sync and East End Dubs will play in the intimate setting of the Archive room on Thursdays.
The full 2024 season will return from September until New Year’s Eve; the line-ups are yet to be revealed, but expect many new club debuts as well as the return of beloved collaborators and curators. After showcases in Rotterdam and Antwerp last year, WHP will be going international again — and this time even further afield, programming showcases for Sydney and Melbourne in Australia this May.
