A sweaty cavern tucked underneath Oxford Street, the Music Box is famous for two of the best regular nights in Manchester. The first Saturday of the month brings Mr Scruff's 'Keep it Unreal' night, with funky electro in the front and Scruff's customary tea room in the back. On the last Saturday of the month, the Unabombers take over for 'Electric Chair', with an acid house theme drawing in a more mature crowd from the Hacienda era.

A brilliant, FREE and (for not much longer!!)largely undiscovered night in the heart of the city that caters to all good music tastes. Be it discerning pop, funk, cosmic disco, electric-soul, hip-hop, acid RnB, country and good old rock 'n' roll, the DJs seem to provide it all in one breathless set!! Highly recommended.
