Kickin’ Pigeon and Pharaoh Brunson are no strangers to Manchester’s unrelenting rave spirit – running parties across our fair city for the best part of 15 years be it thru Detroit Public Radio, Wet Play, Full Beam! or Red Laser Disco. Both have served time in long standing music institution Piccadilly Records, where KP still directs the cutting edge dance music section whilst dipping his beak into reggae, dub and the various amalgamations of soundsystem musica.
Meanwhile, Pharaoh Brunson has recently branched out with Hi-Tackle records, dishing out the highest grade street soul, boogie and modern soul to the more eager and avid of MCR’s record collectors and DJs from his base in Downtex Mill. Both host long-running NTS radio shows, which hint at the depth of their music collection both in and away from the dancefloor.
For our Back To Mein series expect a jovial and spirited tour through their vinyl inspirations and influences, the records that’d end up as anthems on the Wet Play dancefloor, or the infamous Sunday jams from Full Beam! FM that made it one of the most crucial shows on NTS’ Manc stream.
