Like a house music phoenix rising from the flames Development is back in town and has a Heavy-weight line-up for their 4th birthday party featuring two of our favourite past guests: DJ Spinna & Osunlade. Theyr are also taking up residency at a brand new club called Sound Control soundcontrolmanchester.co.uk

This is the venue Development have spent so long looking for, it's seriously underground, with a sound system to knock your socks off and a fantastic layout. There's a lovely bar upstairs for some pre-rave drinkies but the real fun will take place beneath the streets, back in the basements. Development will be setting up camp there from now on and getting stuck into bringing you the best DJs from around the world once again...

Osunlade

Back to the DJ's; Osunlade has played for Development twice already and took the roof off the place both times with a relentless onslaught of unique deepness. Few guests have managed to get the crowd so locked into a groove as this man.

Osunlade has been pushing the boundaries of deep house music for over a decade, and is one of the strongest producers of the genre, with productions ranging from organic afro soul and deep soulful house, to stripped back techno-infused floor smashers.

Check out his recent album Rebirth released on Yoruba Records to hear his more musical expeditions - a true studio talent.

Dj Spinna

Development have also drafted in another hero and one of the most talented and versatile DJ's about, DJ Spinna. Musically you can never know what to expect from this guy... from turntablism two copy madness with soul and hip hop to soulful house and disco to acid house, techno or jazz... He really brings it all to the table in his sets.

The only thing you can guarantee is that it is put together with pretty much unparalleled skill and experience. He is without a doubt one of the best. Check out this video of him showcasing some impressive turntable skills http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcadXd7U8Tc

Production wise Spinna has recently released a long awaited hip hop album called Sonic Smash and a cracking disco compilation on BBE records, The Boogie Back. Both essential.
