Headstock has announced the line-up for its Spring Season of The Drop – a new EDM event series, which is being supported by The Warehouse Project and Skiddle.
The Drop has been created to raise funds for a number of charities that exist to support the mental health of people working across the music industry. The events also aims to shine a light on the positive impact that music and shared experience can have on our mental & emotional wellbeing.
The Drop launches with a three-event series, and will take up a monthly residency at Amber’s, Manchester’s new multiroom club, located just off Oxford Road, Manchester.
HEADLINE SETS FROM TURNO, LF SYSTEM & DJ PAULETTE
The Spring Season of The Drop kicks off on Thursday 27th March with international DJ/Producer, Turno – one of the undeniable frontrunners in the D&B scene. The Bedford-born DJ is renowned for his high-energy tracks that have captivated audiences worldwide, and he will be bringing his intense and infectious sound to Manchester – the city he now calls home. Turno’s involvement in The Drop is particularly poignant as his brother, Fabio, tragically took his own life back in 2021. This devasting event led him to produce ‘What’s on Your Mind?’ – a track released on World Mental Health Day 2022 in aid of mental health charity, Mind. Turno has since launched a mental health awareness campaign under the same name.
In April, Scottish production duo, LF SYSTEM, will be bringing their Coffee Table Sessions concept to Amber’s as part of The Drop event series – where partygoers will be treated to a 3hr set of disco infused house music. LF System broke out in 2022 with the omnipresent sounds of their anthemic single, ‘Afraid to Feel’, which spent 8 weeks at number one in the UK.
The Drop’s 3-part series will conclude on Thursday 15th May (during Mental Health Awareness Week 2025), with a very special headline show from Manchester house icon, DJ Paulette (Haçienda, Homobloc, Glitterbox). Winner of DJ Mag’s prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award 2022, Paulette is without question one of house music’s true pioneers.
The three-part event series follows on from a successful launch event with Manchester tech house production duo, Solardo, which took place at The Yard in Cheetham Hill on World Mental Health Day (10th October 2024).
The Drop is an evening rave experience, with events typically taking place monthly on a Thursday, from 18:30-23:00.
