Best sound we've had outside of Glasgow. The engineer nailed our mix first try. Backline was quality, crew were dead helpful. Would play here every month if they'd have us.

NQ Live is incredible. Best sound system I have ever played through. The crew were so professional.

NQ Live feels like our second home at this point. Best venue in Manchester, no question.

CDJ-3000s, DJM-900, perfect monitors. NQ Live is a DJ dream. The crowd are always up for it.
