The 360º Party Returns to Victoria Baths with Len Faki and Sam Divine

Manchester, Wednesday 1st February 2023 - After the success of the 360º Weekend Takeover in November last year,  the party will return once again to Manchester’s iconic Edwardian Bath House for two exclusive events on Friday 7th & Saturday 8th April 2023. 

The 360º party series brings electronic music lovers a unique way of experiencing house, techno and disco sets against the most incredible of backdrops. Conceptualised by Fever in collaboration with JBM Music, these one-of-a-kind events promise a visual spectacle in which there is always a 360º element. In other words, whether it be via a centralised stage or a centralised dancefloor, the DJ is visible from all angles. This, combined with mesmerising light shows and a state-of-the-art sound system creates a fully immersive sensorial experience.

In true 360º style, the Manchester weekend takeover will take place in the most unique of venues: Victoria Baths, a Grade II* listed Edwardian swimming pool built in 1906. The stunning historic building features multi-coloured brickwork and terracotta decoration, with the interior space clad in glazed tiles from floor to ceiling and decorative stained glass windows, making for a truly incredible backdrop. Partygoers will dance on the tiles of the baths’ main swimming pool, surrounded by fascinating remnants of Edwardian architecture.

360º events are famed for showcasing the scene’s most iconic DJs, and Manchester’s February event will be no different, headlining one of the most outstanding and in-demand artists in techno’s present age, Len Faki. All the way from Berlin, Faki will host an extended techno set and a unique opportunity to step into his ever-evolving musical universe.

Also in the lineup for Friday is Aalice, one part of Manchester-based DJ trio Meat Free. 

For Saturday’s event, the First Lady of Defected Records herself will be gracing the decks.  Divine, who has played at some of Ibiza’s biggest clubs, including Pacha, Mambo, Amnesia, Eden and Ushuaïa will perform an extended set of her signature “Pure, unadulterated house”.

House and Techno lovers are invited to experience a disco with a difference in a truly unforgettable setting.

About Len Faki:

Berlin based DJ, producer and label owner Len Faki is one of the most outstanding and in-demand artists in techno's present age. Being a resident at Berlin’s prime techno club Berghain since its opening in 2004 keeps him open-minded as both, dj and producer. In 2007 he released the double A-side "Rainbow Delta/ Mekong Delta" on Ostgut Ton, which became one of the biggest anthems of the year and an instant techno classic, heavily supported by techno’s top DJs.  His gigs are an audio-visual adventure where he is not only playing for the crowd but rather performing for, and with them. His characteristic extra long DJ-sets in his "living room" inspire him to vary in tone and fully roll out his style to explore and further deepen his mastery of turning a DJ-set into a bona fide musical journey.

Aalice (Meat Free):

Originally from Belfast, Aalice took up DJing after moving to Manchester and starting Meat Free, a DJ trio throwing parties since 2013, “Bringing Techno to Manchester. Democratising dancefloors.” Since then she’s played a wide array of parties and festivals across the UK and further afield.

About Sam Divine:

Sam Divine has played at some of the Ibiza’s biggest clubs year upon year, holding down residencies at Pacha, Mambo, Amnesia, Eden and Ushuaïa, and sharing space with some of the greatest names in dance includingFrankie Knuckles, Master’s At Work, MK, DJ Spen, KiNK, Sandy Rivera and The Shapeshifters. A born entertainer with a burning desire to play music to people around the world, Sam Divine’s enigmatic sets are an effortless schooling in pure, unadulterated House. From her early days as the sole member of the Defected street team in Ibiza to fronting their radio show and now headlining some of the world’s biggest clubs and festivals, The First Lady of Defected, has become an intrinsic part of the UK House music scene.

About Victoria Baths: 

When it opened in 1906, Victoria Baths on Hathersage Road, Manchester, was described as "the most splendid municipal bathing institution in the country" and "a water palace of which every citizen of Manchester can be proud."  Not only did the building provide spacious and extensive facilities for swimming, bathing and leisure, it was built of the highest quality materials with many period decorative features:- stained glass, terracotta, tiles and mosaic floors. Victoria Baths served the people of central Manchester for 87 years and established themselves in the affections of all those who used the facilities. Manchester City Council closed the baths in 1993 and the building was left empty, however, following a vigorous reaction from the local community at its closure, a multimillion-pound restoration project began in 2007.
