Sound Control is a 3 floor venue, featuring a basement club, which we also run 300 capacity gigs, a ground floor bar which doubles up as a 150 capacity live room, and on the second floor we have a 450 capacity live music room and from 11pm onwards a full on loft clubbing experience. 3 bars, a huge outdoor terrace to cool your dancin’ feet. We also run 1000+ clubnights across the whole venue.

The building is steeped in musical history. Born on Chapel St. as All Repairs, it then became A1 Music, followed by Academy of Sound and later Sound Control. During the early nineties A1 was the place to buy your gear from – a “proper” music shop staffed by muso’s. Wandering round during the week you were as likely to bump into the likes of Johnny Marr, Noel Gallagher, Barny Sumner, Tim Booth, or even Gary Barlow. Most famously the venue played a crucial role in the story of the Stone Roses; the man famously referred to as ‘ten Keith Moon’s in one’ , Reni joined in May 1984

after reading an advertisement the band had placed in – as it was then known – A1 Music.

The story goes he ripped it off the wall in order to make sure he was the only one who would get an audition. He was and it took place in Decibel Studios to the north of the city centre. The rest as they say is history.

It’s progression seems a fitting one; The place to fix instruments and then the place to buy instruments, is now THE place to play!

Sound Control opened it’s doors as a venue in January 2010 and has garnered a reputation for being one of the best in Manchester in no small part down to the Alcons sound rig and the acoustics of our live rooms.

CLUB NIGHTS & ALTERNATIVE EVENTSLOWDOWNSound Controls basement club, bar and loft mixed with the bass heavy sounds are perfect for the vibe Lowdown creates. Together this combination of sound, vibe and venue has won Lowdown the coveted title ‘Best small event’ at Breakspoll - International Breakbeat Awards three years in a row making Lowdown the best small event in the world for the breakbeat genre.

Sound Control’s premiere Drum & Bass and Jungle night featuring some of the biggest names in the scene alongside some of the finest talent Manchester has to offer. For those with plenty of stamina! One night in London we got drunk in the basement of a Church Hall. We found an old bingo kit stored there. We started messing about with it and accidentally invented a new, mutant form of bingo. We knew it was wrong, but it felt so good. We called it Rebel Bingo. We had got to big for the Church Hall, thousands of people wanted to be part of our revolution. We went to New York, we went to Las Vegas, and now we are coming to Manchester. This is not bingo. It’s Rebel Bingo - and they can’t stop us.

We invite you to take a Peep into our seedy sex injected House music party in the Sound Control Basement. Expect pornographic visuals, sexed up go go girls, slutty deep house & extemely graphic content.
