Who are ya?

The brand that represents Manchester’s rich Acid House history, now a global phenomenon: creating the dance revolution and making the city a destination of choice for the Chanel catwalk, voted as one of the best places to visit in the world by Forbes.

We recently made Manchester City’s famous acid house club crest look like a melting smiley for an official kit and run everything from club nights to multi-media marketing. With every successful business from London and beyond in TV, arts and music heading to Media City and jumping on the bandwagon, we welcome you all to a city that I helped create with a small bunch of others.

The city is ours to share with the world: enjoy the food, the clubs, the football, and the swagger and confidence that made MDCR what it is
