with Moonboots & Jason Boardman, Balearic Mikeplus very Special guest Daniele Baldelli ()
Aficionado was created in June 1998 as the antidote to the extremities of Superclubbing which was prevalent at the time.
After years of digging, listening and loving music of all forms, Moonboots and Jason gambled to create a Sunday scene in Manchester. Laughed at by many, Sundays became the new Saturday pretty soon after.
Playing anything good outside of the four-four mainstream they set about creating a cerebral soundtrack for minds and feet with a Balearic edge. Referencing the multi tempo playlist of Ku , Shoom and the Café del Mar, disco was added to the mix alongside electronic and folky oddities.
Over the last ten years they have welcomed many guests to add their interpretation, playing in the early days for a pizza and a few pints on a genuine 70s DJ console for extra authenticity. Many have been welcomed back over the years as the night has moved venues, always keeping the Sunday vibe alive and causing many a Monday morning work hangover
As Aficionado has developed the playlist has become all encompassing, new old things have been found, new, new things have been found, old things have been rediscovered and given a new lease of life.
Ten years on, the search for the perfect Nado beat continues.
Put simply Moonboots & Jason Boardman DJ'ing at Electric Elephant in Croatia beside the deep blue Adriatic sea = BALEARIC :)
