Created to counter the burgeoning gay nightlife scene in Manchester ,which was rapidly becoming a parody of itself and in danger of becoming less of a place to escape and more of a neon walled hen night infested prison,many years ago and was held in a venue known as Follies. Over the years it outgrew it's home and moved into the sweaty,cavernous sex dungeon of Legends taking over the whole club every two months.
Musically its policy has been to not have one,whatever gets you wet is what gets played and having the advantage of being over 4 rooms meant you could aurally mix and match to your hearts content.Guests have ranged from the great and the good to even more great and good,Justin Robertson,Duke Dumont, Erol Alkan, Tim Sweeney, Andrew Weatherall ,Skull Juice, The 2 Bears ,Maurice Fulton, Little Boots, Roisin Murphy and Todd Terje to name but a very few have graced the booths of the many rooms. Along the way it has also nurtured and played host to many local DJs and currently has a healthy roster of regular residents. Jamie Bull ,Trashorama , Will Tramp and Lucy Locket will invariably caress your ears with audio sounds of the finest quality when you pay a visit.
There is no policy on people that can attend either,unlike clubs of yore where you could have been asked to prove your sexual preference before getting in the good people running this night simply could not care less what you put your wang in or slobber your lips over.Actually I lie ,the one requirement is you have no attitude,leave it out or you're out in the gutter.
Over the past few years HomoElectric has reached out to the London club scene and has had a great reception,which is no mean feat considering how crowded the scene is south of the gap.
There are two events at which you can have your first taste of this incredible night coming up in the near future.The first is in London taking over the second room at XOYO on the 16th of August with guests Mylo and Gigamesh amongst others this will be an absolute riot,don't expect anything less than a bloody good time.
The second event is a hometown hoedown in Manchester on the 25th of August at FAC251,yes they are taking over the full 3 floors and will have an as yet to be revealed line up taking you on a journey Willy Wonka could only dream of!
