Legendary Manchester Club Bugged Out gets a 20-year Retrospective Documentary

Bugged Out

While heaps of recognition have been bestowed upon Detroit, Chicago, and Berlin for their contributions to dance music over the years, the British industrial city of Manchester played just as central a role in the music’s global takeover.

And it’s not just New Order and the Hacienda that help put Manchester on the map. Twenty years ago, the founders of Jockey Slut magazine, which was, at the time, a bible for rave culture in the UK, started the Bugged Out series of events, which would take on club nights, festivals, exclusive mixes, and all sorts of other forms in the ensuing years.

With the 20th-anniversary party, the Bugged Out Weekender, about to happen next week, Thump put together a really nice documentary on how the event has evolved over the last two decades, with interviews with Skream, the Chemical Brothers, Simian Mobile Disco, and more.
