After last years phenomenal takeover at the Warehouse Project, Nia Archives returns to Manchester’s Mayfield Depot with an even bigger event for her Up Ya Archives party, a celebration of all that is good with dance music in the UK and beyond.
Taking place on Saturday 15th November, over 5 stages, Up Ya Archives runs for 10 hours from 5pm til 3am and is packed full of talent from all corners of the bass music spectrum that will have you dancing from the time you get in until the very end.

Up Ya Archives Line Up
With Nia Archives, of course, headlining the event and returns to the massive Depot after filling it full of ravers with a set full of 100% energy in 2024, for much more of the same this year. Joining Nia Archives is a whole host of artists who will bring the noise to Manchester. From the triumphant return of Skream & Benga with Sgt Pokes and 4AM Kru (who step up to the Warehouse Projects biggest stage after shutting down a packed out Archive last year) to a very special b2b set from Dj Flight, Dj Storm and Mantra, the scene is set for an evening and night of pure energy, and with the bass heavy and eclectic likes of Hamdi, Girls Don’t Sync, Fcukers and Ceechynna all playing as well, there is something for everyone.
That would leads be enough to satisfy even the most hardened raver but that’s just the start of it. Dr Dubplate hosts a special 5 year anniversary party for his EC2A label in the Concourse with the likes of Bakey, Mia Koden, Bullettooth, Diffrent and Skeptic all joining in the fun.
Manchesters finest, Hit & Run return to the Archive stage with as you would expect, another impeachable lineup that features everyone from Deep Medi/Digital Mystikz legend Mala and Bristol OG Clipz to Sicaria, Sam Binga and Mandidextrous going back to back with Samurai Breaks amongst many others, and with Hit & Run regulars like Chimpo, Chunky, Sparkz, T-Man and Truthos all playing, you’ll know how mad that one’s going to be.

Add to this, Sexy Lady Massive in the Plant Room with Asian Brat, Hendy, Betsy Mae, Selectacee, Milzy and more, and a Brighter Days take her in the Star & Garter with Spyro and Boy Better Knows Maximum alongside the Brighter Days family, and you’ve got a hell of an event.
So, don’t miss out on what is undoubtedly a must see event, with something for everyone and witness the triumphant and very welcome return of Up Ya Archives at the Warehouse Project.
