Jax Jones, dance music producer, dropped into Manchester club Joshua Brooks on Friday night for Midnight Snacks, a house music night. I knew the name Jax Jones, but couldn’t quite place his songs, so did a quick google before the event. The absurd video for his collaboration with MNEK on Where Did You Go features some of the best worst dancing I’ve ever seen.
In stark contrast to the rise of air-conned, plush-decor hip-hop clubs that have become the norm in the city, Joshua Brooks has- since its inception in 1993- remained a brick-walled, low ceiling sweatbox dance venue: heaving with people, ridiculous toilet queues, limited phone reception but a good, friendly vibe, a young crowd with a passion for the music. It’s good to see there’s still a demand for house.
