Hello, it's Annie Mack here. I have a mini-mix for you right now, courtesy of Manchester's finest Salardo. They have themed their mini-mix around Manchester's Warehouse Project. They love it there. They've been playing there for years, as have I, in all its different guises, at all its different venues. This is the last year that the Warehouse Project will take place in Store Street, which is basically an underground car park underneath Piccadilly train station in Manchester.

It's a much loved venue.

There's three rooms.

It holds 2,000 people.

And it's had over a million people through its doors over the years.

And all the best DJs in the world have played there as well.

So, yeah, well worth celebrating a wonderful institution

and wonderful venue. This is Salardo talking about Whereas Project and then you'll hear their

mini-mix. It's Annie Max Mini-Mix on BBC Radio 1. The Minimix.

Hi Anna, it's Mark and James from Salado here. We first started going to the Warehouse project in, I think it was the first year it launched in 2006 at Boddington Brewery. I remember going there and walking in and, you know, such a dark, dingy rave with much production, just like a really good sound system,

and it absolutely blew us away.

And I think that was quite a key factor for us to get our heads round the whole new house

and techno sound.

The first time we played Warehouse Project was a couple of years ago, and that was, I think,

it was an opening weekend and Room 2.

Last year, on Boxing Day,

we did our first headline show at Warehouse Project, which was Salado Sessions, where it was

basically our brand took over the whole warehouse project for the night. And then this year,

we've also just launched our new brand higher. The crowd of the warehouse project is always

incredible. I mean, it's one of my favorite places to play, I think probably for both of us.

It's because, you know, the whole atmosphere is electric within there.

You walk into this car park, which has been made and transformed into this super club.
