It's easy to overlook weekly events that churn out 52+ shindigs each year. We went to see if the 07 "dirtier" house movement has had an effect on the funkiest place in town.

The basement that is One hundred and eleven leaps down Deansgate – 'Club V', plays home to "Venus", the place where you must be equipped for the quick fire round to gain entry. This series of intriguing questions is for the good of the club and its guests and it could be argued is the core factor in the clubs eight year (plus) success – "No Knob-head policy!"

The soulful, vocal, feel good house sounds charm you straight onto the elongated dancefloor, even before you've had chance to remove your parker. This then became a challenge within its self, as somebody, obviously failed to inform the 'club fitting carpenters' (when completing the cloak room refurbishment) about the 'Twice Measured, Once Cut' theory.

The club filled fast with: photogenic Roman goddesses who adopted the stand side on, in threes, with tummy tucked in and pout out for the photo flash and a jumble of males who appeared to have cold necks….? – (Their mullets or assortment of woven scarves provided their required warmth)

Loyal and local hero resident DJs and selected guest jocks provided the predominantly commercial and funkier side of house sounds which progressively crumbled to the demands of slightly electronic house beats. The release of well known tracks gained the most active crowd reactions. Apparently "You've got to have a J.O.B." if you waned to get with anybody that night because there "aint nothing going on but the rent"

The 'family like' variety of age, added to the diversity of the crowd. The weekly populace took to their territories but    welcomed the company of the satellite town's new generation of youth.

Certain sub-Genres of House may not be as underground as they once were (many other Manchester nights have felt some adverse effects of this shift) but Venus has proved its winning principles of safe clubbing in a friendly environment and sticking to its guns where the sound policy is concerned will ensure the people with the right answers will always return.
