The computer recording the session crashed (gutted!) however, instead we've got an archive set from last Summer to share from one of favourite Manchester sessions HOTMILK.

The night featured Lady Chann, The Heatwave, Guiding Star Hi-Fi and Murkage Cartel. It was the first time we met and played alongside the big bad Mr Fox.

The session features some of a favourite 90s / 00s pieces, many forwards and a earful of vibe.
