For the last four or so years, one team of like-minded promoters, Computer Controlled, have pretty much ruled Manchester’s underground techno and electro scene.

Now the news arrives that their biggest night, Sequence at Sankey’s, is to bow out on November 21st with a typically stellar line-up.

It’s not all bad news, though, as promoter Steve Gravener explains below.

“Yep, you heard it right… after near on five years of being at the top of its game in Manchester, Sequence opens its doors for one final time.

“The reasons? To be completely honest, nothing too groundbreaking really.

“After growing the event from its humble beginnings at The Attic to going on to program shows for over 2,500 people at The Warehouse Project, to promoting huge monthly parties at The Paradise Factory and Sankeys, we believe that we’ve taken Sequence as far as it can go - we’ve had everyone who is anyone play at our night, something we are immensely proud about!

“We’re also itching to get stuck into various new projects which have been steadily under development for a while now.

“It’s all a bit hush-hush at the moment, but in 2009 expect to see some of the biggest and most cutting-edge events of electronic music that Manchester will ever see, promoted under our Computer Controlled guise. There might be the odd Sequence one-off in the future, but for now… this is it.

“We’ve programmed the finale with a huge selection of our favourite artists - just those who we think have done the business, from past to present, with sets from Surgeon, Altern 8, Marcel Dettmann, Redshape, Tim Exile, Ed DMX, Rob Hall and Mark Turner, plus support from the current Sequence residents, Computer Controlled and P45, opening up the night in the usual killer style.

“So this is it… it’s sad to say, but the end is nigh!

“And it’s been an ace journey, hope everyone has enjoyed it as much as we have.

“Big thanks to all the artists who have travelled from all over the globe to play for us, and to everyone who’s made it down to the club and helped to make it what it is today… hope you can all make it for one final rave up!”

Sequence - The Finale takes place on November 21st at Sankey’s, Manchester. For more info visit the Computer Controlled website.
