Solid Earth is a collective of artists, musicians, technicians and creative media types who have come together on a voluntary basis to organise a series of events to raise money for various causes, the first of which is the crisis in Darfur, western Sudan.
We are working with a vivid collection of performers, DJs, speakers, poets and bands across Manchester - some famous, some not - but who are all willing to donate their time and talent to create quality, eclectic events and help raise cash for people in dire need. Through these events, we hope to forge a strong union between different groups in the community and a feeling of solidarity in raising money for these important causes. Proceeds from Solid Earths' events go to Medicins Sans Frontires (MSF).
MSF is an international humanitarian aid organisation that provides emergency medical assistance to populations in danger. It works in more than 18 countries and has been active in Darfur since December 2003. MSF now has more than 90 international volunteers and some 2,000 Sudanese staff providing medical and nutritional care to the refugees who have fled there. Additional MSF teams provide assistance to Sudanese who have sought refuge in Chad.

The obvious definition, is love without condition. Yet, that does not give it enough credit, to accurately describe the meaning. Unconditional love is, the ability to put yourself in another persons shoes under any situation or condition. In other words, not matter what is happening in your environment, no matter how ('another makes') you feel, or what you think of another... you choose to always put yourself in the position of others and treat them exactly how you would like to be treated (under any condition, even if they are 'your enemy'). My unconditional love is yours always, Amy

This is an unmissable show! After the rave reviews of Sam Amidon's last show in Manchester, where, in league with Red Deer Club, we arranged for Sam to play at the Unitarian Chapel with a string quartet, we couldn't wait for the opportunity to bring him back. Since that time, his album All is Well has been critically lauded and the media have finally caught on to the New Yorker's immense talent.
Incredibly, the opportunity that has arisen includes a touring party from Sam's Icelandic label, Bedroom Community. Sam will be performing with a six-piece band, including legendary producer and Bedroom Community chief, Valgeir Sigurðsson.
And if that isn't enough for you, Valgeir will also be performing tracks from his own album, Ekvílibríum, a critically lauded masterpiece of electronica-laced folk.
To cap it all, the night will be kicked off by support from Manchester's own acoustic-electronica maestro, Denis Jones; having waited two years to play in this wonderful venue, he will be playing his fourth show here inside two months, after support for Jack Rose, Phosphorescent and Chris Corsano.

It is not the first time, that Ekaros has shown his greatness, the composition "Atoms" and "Whale" already came to light at Combat Records (managed by Stormfield), and a dark dubstep album at the hungarian Black Hoe. This time he set his dark visions free ... Rumour has that the first track (means Fuck Ya) may say thanks for its exsistance, that another dupstep producer declared what Ekaros creats is not dupstep, it is not moving between 139-142 bpm and don’t suit to the expected rhythm formula. In this way it is not more than a parody of uk woobler dubstep. Dust. Deep, thinking, dark stuff. Do you remember the monsters of under your crib? You grew up and thoght they do not exist. But they crept out for you now... Enkeli. When you are on the center of the desert, and you see the dunes come to life. Rolling breakstep.
