Paradise Factory re-opens and Krysko Speaks!

The one-time home of Factory Records, Paradise Factory becomes the new home of The Warehouse Project

January sees Manchester’s club scene proving the adage that 'as one door closes, another one opens'. As Electric Chair celebrates its last night, those busy little beavers The Warehouse Project are set to establish a permanent home at the vacant Paradise Factory premises. The club was originally the home of Factory records but after the company shut it was transformed into an 800 capacity club, which quickly became a fixture in the Manchester music scene.

Resident DJ Krysko says that re-opening the Factory is the ideal next move for the phenomenally successful Warehouse Project: 'The club ties in with the whole ethos of the Warehouse Project which is about doing stuff for Manchester that it needs. It’s going to be run by all of us at the Warehouse Project but it will be its own identity and it’s ongoing. It’s important to me because it’s important to Manchester.' Friday nights will be similar to the Ape nights with eclectic music from Drum 'n' Bass to hip hop. Saturdays will be more club-orientated, with an amalgamation of live acts and DJs. The opening night on Thursday January 24 sees Laurent Garnier, Mike Pickering, Krysko and Danny Mac and no doubt a few hundred frenzied clubbers.

Paradise Factory 112-116 Princess Street, M1 7EN (www.112-116princessstreet.co.uk /0161 835 3500).
