Day Time Disco: Michael Gray at Joshua Brooks, Manchester

Day Time Disco returns to Manchester's Joshua Brooks on April 18, featuring the renowned Michael Gray, a pivotal figure in the evolution of disco-house. As a founding member of Full Intention and a longtime resident at Glitterbox Ibiza, Gray's influence is deeply woven into the fabric of modern dance music. His remix work in the late '90s and early 2000s for icons like George Michael, Whitney Houston, and Ultra Naté has left a lasting imprint on UK dancefloors, making tracks like his Grammy-nominated remix of “Freedom! '90” still resonate today.

Gray's solo hit "The Weekend" is a staple anthem that signals a good time ahead, while his recent output remains popular on Traxsource, reinforcing his connection to the contemporary disco sound. Collaborations with artists such as Jamiroquai and Jocelyn Brown illustrate his ongoing commitment to the genre. Known for his soulful sets at Glitterbox alongside legends like Dave Lee and Horse Meat Disco, Gray creates an atmosphere rich in groove and boogie, rather than peak-time frenzy. In the intimate setting of Joshua Brooks, the evening promises to build from warm vibes to an uplifting celebration as sunset approaches.
