Dose & Vivid presents....
24 Hr Party People Tour, the Hacienda lives!
NEW ORDER DJ SET featuring
Peter Hook
with Hacienda original Little Martin
The Hacienda created a revolution in music and was the key-stone of the cult-hit "24 Hour Party People". Peter Hook, New Order and Factory records went to the point of financial disaster funding this club which paved the way to hundreds of musical acts and to the beginning of DJ culture. Join Peter Hook of New Order celebrating 20 years of change and the upcoming release of the Hacienda compiliation.
Peter Hook has found a new way to move the masses -- as a DJ
"I must confess that over my career, I've actually downplayed the importance of DJs," says Peter Hook. "It's such a different art form. Then all of a sudden you try it, and you think, 'Good God, these guys do work.' I used to be very cynical and very blasé about it. I can only apologize."
Holding DJs in disregard is one thing. But such an attitude coming from a man who's partly responsible for the best-selling twelve-inch single of all time? It's downright ironic. And yet New Order's "Blue Monday," the 1983 slab of wax that remains a surefire floor-filler at any club in the world, counts Hook as a creator. As the bassist of New Order and, before that, the majestically doomed Joy Division, he's considered an architect of modern electronic music. And deservedly so: In the late '70s, Joy Division helped pioneer the fusion of punk force and dance beats that continues to inspire legit artists and copycats alike.
Plus: DJ's Pandemonium & Craig Allan

Well you know that Mr. Hook loves the bass.
on a sort of related topic....
A couple years back, the "other two" guys from the Smiths (not Morrissey or Johnny Marr) did a dj set at the Purple Onion.
They - and all of us in attendance - had a blast!!
Musical selections from all over the map too!
So I'm thinking that this Peter Hook set might kind of maybe sort of be along the same lines.
Party rockin' tunes and Hacienda Classics!!!!

Peter Hook loves the bass--and the Bass, drjones. I'm sure you understand.
I would like to see him solo, actually. Such a wonderfully innovative and melodic bassist. Probably the guy I copied most for the years that I owned an electric bass.
And yes, CV historians, that IS the same bass that Stillwater won off me in a
"card game." Or so the story goes.
New Order's last record was limp, though, and their performance at Thunderbird Stadium prior to Moby was blah. But then I may have been on drugs at the time.
But isn't that supposed to make it seem like more fun?

Exactly what I was implying.
Hook's electric bass sound is all his own.
And it's awesome.

THE HACIENDA STORY
Originally conceived, founded and financed in 1980 by Factory Records and New Order through a deal steered by Rob Gretton, the manager of the by then disbanded Joy Division, The Haçienda first opened its doors on May 21st 1982 sporting a Factory Records catalogue number of Fac 51, a pioneering interior designed by architect Ben Kelly, graphics by Peter Saville and featured Bernard Manning as the opening night act.
Not surprising then that all of these forces combined turning The Haçienda into where is widely recognised as the birthplace of Acid House and responsible for shaping the face of UK club culture as it has since been known.
Through a chain of events that no one could have imagined, the ex-boat showroom on Whitworth Street, Manchester that became The Haçienda and the scene it gave birth to, went on to have one of the biggest impacts on youth culture since the punk movement and is one that is still reverberating today. Through the combination of legendary nights such as Hot, Nude, Flesh and Temperance Club with DJ's Mike Pickering, Graeme Park, Jon da Silva, Tom Wainwright and Dave Haslam, clubbing had changed from simply a night out to an intense experience.
It was the heady mixture of new music, new ideas, cutting edge design and even new designer drugs that pushed the venue into overdrive long before the days of Ministry Of Sound, Cream, Renaissance, Gatecrasher and Godskitchen had even thought about opening their doors and inspired DJ's from Sasha to The Chemical Brothers to Laurent Garnier. The Haçienda shone like a beacon rewriting the rulebook of what a clubbing experience was all about and inspired hundreds of thousands.
I have so many special memories from those days, the way the DJ's would select the tunes especially for the club, I remember Sasha's first set, the atmosphere was electric and he played the best set of his life, the music was perfect as was the crowd, when we left you just knew you'd been a spectator of something very special indeed'

Peter Hook '...OUR KIDS WILL NEVER BE WILDER THAN US...'
Like two brothers bonded by love, singer / musician Peter Hook and Manchester, England's culture shifting nightclub The Haçienda were once inseparable. Millions passed through The Haçienda doors, millions more know of its history via the film '24 Hour Party People,' but Hooky - alongside Haç cofounders Rob Gretton, Tony Wilson, Alan Erasmus, and the rest of Hook's band, New Order - poured his fortunes, hopes and psyche into it for literally years on end until financial debt, street crime and hard drugs shuttered the club in 1996. 'The weird thing about the Haçienda is that it's actually got a lot of painful memories, as well as a lot of great memories' Hook says. 'It's also got a lot of no memory.'
This collection is equally for those who do remember, can't remember, or never had a chance to experience the venue firsthand. The tracks are personally selected by Hook himself. 'Because I've been djing,' he explained, 'I was asked to do a Haçienda Classics night in Manchester. I thought, 'I'll do that! Right, that'll be great.' I sat down and I thought to myself, 'What is a Haçienda classic?' I realised that I didn't bleeding know. After going constantly, over and over again, for eight years, I had not much memory of any of the music because I was off of my head. It was quite funny because I had to get on the phone with (FM radio disc jockey) Phil Beckett, and he helped me get a load of material together. Once I started listening to it, I realised that I knew a lot of the music, I just didn't get the CONNECTION with the Haçienda STRAIGHT AWAY. After that, the idea to do the CD collection was properly born.
'It's the golden period of the Haçienda that everybody remembers as being such a fantastic time in their lives. Maybe that's because a lot of them have settled down now. They remember the wildness, sowing their wild oats, going for it when the whole world was in front of them. There were a lot of rays of sunshine around that period. It's like the birth of punk, isn't it, the way everybody wanted to be at 'that' Sex Pistols gig at the Lesser Free Trade Hall (in Manchester)? It's the same sort of feeling as that. You always feel you've got one up on everybody who didn't go.
'Every generation we've had has always been wilder than the last. We like to think so, don't we ? We like to think that we're wilder than our parents: 'We've done it all, we've bee

We like to think that we're wilder than our parents: 'We've done it all, we've been everywhere, man,' all that lot. I was thinking that with all of the goings on at the Haçienda, our kids could never be wilder. Our kids will never be wilder than us.' ...Welcome to the Haçienda.
