Friday 4th May 2012
8pm to 1:30am*
Antwerp Mansion, Rusholme Grove, Curry Mile, M14 5AG
After the success of our Contiguity special event we thought we'd do something a little different for the first of our new quarterly 'trash parties. We've teamed up with the unique venue of Antwerp Mansion, just outside Central Manchester to bring you a 'trash party with a difference. On top of that, 'trash will be reaching it's third birthday in the month of June and, while it's a little early we thought this would be the perfect time and opportunity to celebrate.
*We're still waiting on confirmation of an extended opening licence for this event. It'll very likely be running later, but we won't advertise it until it's 100% confirmed.

Discounted advanced tickets costing £4 and guaranteeing you entry can be bought from the links below, or in person from Tokyo Royale in Affleck's Palace, Manchester. You can also buy them direct from us at any upcoming Beta Complex nights. The door will cost £6.00 on the night.
V2A is a industrial/electro project founded by Kevin Stewart (304) and Ines Lehmann (316) in 2001.
From their 2002 debut shows in Essen (Germany) and at the prestigious Wave Gotik Treffen festival that year, V2A have continued to dominate dancefloors across Europe and beyond. In 2011 they played high profile shows at CyberSonik festival (London), Cyberia (Holland), Infest 2011 and many more including a live performance for the BBC (!). With their new album Machine Corps making big waves on the European electronic music circuit and beyond, V2A are showing no signs of stopping in 2012 and we're pleased as big pleased things to have them at 'trash.
Expect pounding electronic beats, harsh vocals and an energetic stage show that is guaranteed to make you move.
Hailing from one of the most violent cities in the world,Chemical 6 started unleashing hell on the floor at a co-founded event called Projektt in Johannesburg, South Africa in 2001. As well as DJ'ing at countless club nights including the massive E.I.E Disorder, 177, Horror Cafe, Existanz and Atomic, he also held a residency at Alpha/Omega. In 2006 he kicked the DJ'ing habit in South Africa and moved to the UK, starting his residency in early 2008 in London as co-founder/DJ for events called Gravity.
Now, a resident DJ at the mighty Slimelight, he shows no remorse to any floor he plays on. His 2011 highlights include sets at Infest 2011, Big Bang (London), Club Tron (Birmingham) and LD50 (Budapest).
From playing at small events for friends or parties to debuting as DJ Heathen at Exile's first event back in March 2010, things have just gotten better and better for this Brighton-based DJ. With sets that have ranged from the best rock, metal & goth or EBM through to his unique brand of industrial fused with hard dance, trance and hardstyle; DJ Heathen brings his own unique style and personality to the dancefloor with every performance.
As well as playing live guitar for one of London's finest electronic acts Kommand + Kontrol, DJ Heathen's impressive résumé includes sets at Exile, Deviant & Malicious on the South Coast, Mammothfest Metal Festival and Electrocute. He also holds a residency at Abandoned in Brighton and promotes his own industrial/ebm party Synergy.
The Antwerp Mansion is one of Manchester's best new venues. It's a volunteer orientated renovation project based in Rusholme and is a live music venue, creative hub, gallery, rehearsal space, bar and many more things to many more people.
A big 'trash party in a massive, renovated mansion house that's a live music venue? Yes please. You can see more of the venue here on YouTube.
Antwerp Mansion is accessible from Wilmslow Road in the Curry Mile and is about 10-15 minutes on bus from Piccadilly Gardens.
On public transport, the 41, 42, 43, 142 or any bus going to Rusholme will take you there. Get off at the stop at the end of the Curry Mile (next to the Fingland's garage) and walk back into The Curry Mile.
You'll see Rusholme Grove on your right. Look down there and you'll see a big wooden fence on your left with a gate. You'll also see one of Team AnalogueTrash outside who, by this point will probably be waving at you frantically. Welcome to Antwerp Mansion!
For cheap Manchester City Centre accommodation we recommend Hatters Hostels which are just off Picadilly Gardens.
