Love this… Great track choices 🎶❤️✌️

Behold, a recreation of part of my set from Joshua Brooks in Manchester when I supported the mighty Cristoph on December 2nd 2023, along with Nick Coulson and Mark McMahon who both played before me.

I was overjoyed and grateful to be given the slot handing over to Cristoph, but even more overjoyed to see him enjoying my set and then ask me if I'd like to play B2B with him for the last 20 minutes before handing over to him. It just went beautifully and I will never forget it, or his kindness. 

Unfortunately, my Tascam recording device didn't record as it should have on the night and I'm so gutted about it. It would have included the crowd noise and atmosphere created by that amazing crowd, but this recreation is the next best thing.

*A couple of tracks are improvised towards the end as I don't know the names of the tracks Cristoph played during our B2B.

Manchild - Supporting CRISTOPH - Joshua Brooks MCR (December 2nd 2023)

Manchild AKA Daz 'Manchild' Smith is a Greater Manchester based DJ with house music in its various guises flowing through his veins. Born and bred in Oldham, he has been hooked on music from the moment his Mum squirted him out and his style is almost impossible to pigeon hole due to him playing what he wants. Comfortable playing at any time; whether that be warmup, peak, closing time or sexy time, all the Manchild cares about is that the crowd have the most untold time. 

After only getting back into DJing in mid-2019 after a very long absence and a lot of catching up to do, both musically and with getting himself back up to speed with the latest DJ technology, he fell back in love with the progressive sound all over again and quickly became resident of Manchester brand 'Up Close and Personal Mcr' after catching the eye of promoter Andy Holdsworth. 

Whilst also indulging in breaks, melodic techno, indie dance, house, trance, power ballads and more, Manchild's versatility allows him to flit seamlessly between all of the above. 

Since late 2019 alone, he has regularly played with the likes of James Zabiela, John Digweed, Sasha, Nick Warren, Cristoph, Anthony Pappa, Jody Wisternoff (numerous times), Patrice Bäumel, Marsh, Nox Vahn, Jeremy Olander, Sébastien Léger, Roy Rosenfeld, Tim Green, Cosmic Gate, Grum, John 00 Fleming, Richie Blacker, Mr Sosa, Estiva, Boxer, Trilucid, My Friend, Fehrplay, Cream, Marcus James (Renaissance), Dave Pearce, Diode Eins, Tommy Farrow, John Kelly, Dave Beer, Asch Pintura, Redfreya and many more at venues such as London's Studio 338, Ministry of Sound, EGG, the Steel Yard; Manchester's Progress, Stage & Radio, and not to mention his many appearances at his favourite venue - Joshua Brooks'. 

With his own night 'You Think You Know Me' in the pipeline, there is plenty more to come from the Manchild hun.

Thank you for listening
