The coolest bar in Manchester, BIG HANDS, is where I feel privileged to have been part since I started to DJ in September 2002. Only one year after it opened its doors. Big Hands has attracted the numerous student population in Manchester and the local bohemian-like minded people. Now is one of the most treasured Nightlife venues in Manchester.
I dedicated this Mix to Miguel, Jarek, the cool staff at Big Hands and all the regulars to this shelter for the bohemian souls of the North of England. Last but not least, in memory of Scott Alexander, the Australian dude who opened probably the best and most friendly bars in Manchester (if not the UK)
Under the Big Hand Special Mix is some of the music I have DJ’d through my twenty years at big hands bar in Manchester.
