   About Roots Before Branches
Roots Before Branches grew out of the red draped basement at Mancheter's infamous Dry Bar in May 2004. Its always been about the music being quality controlled, refined but fun, underground but appealing, playing the old school with the new school. Resident DJs Chris Roots and Tom S unearth dusty 7s and 12s with new tunes to maintain the night's ethos of a respect for both retro 'roots' sounds and fresh new 'branches' music. Monthly parties focus on both obscure and recognisable sounds, for the trainspotters and dancers alike. RBB uprooted from the basement and settled into The Attic in 2006 with Diesler (Freestyle/Tru Thoughts) joining the resident roster. Carefully selected guests who are equally passionate about 'good' music join the party each month. Previous guests include Irfan (Rainy City), Mark De Clive-Lowe, Greg Wilson, Simon Haggis (Strut), DJ Lubi, Dom Servini (Wah Wah 45s), Simbad (Marathon Men), Dr Rubberfunk, The Idjut Boys, Mad Mats (Raw Fusion), Treva Whateva (Ninja Tune), Sam Hardaker (Zero 7) and 6ix Toys who smashed the 4th Birthday @ The Roadhouse. RBB continues to push the uncomprimising cuts with the accessible to deliver unique, forward thinking parties of funk, soul, boogie, disco, jazz, latin, brazilian, hip hop and deep house sounds.

Irfan: Always a pleasure to have 'im on at RBB.
