It's always gonna be warm, it's still pretty warm time of year, sold out event. They had co2 cannons, bars were well staffed and free water easily available. Heard people saying they need aircon, but you simply couldn't air condition that building effectively. People just need to be careful.
At one point I was really struggling coming up and the bar was packed, but thankfully someone noticed, took my money off me and got me some water when he got his round - like it should be. Only noticed how wet I was when I got outside at 5am. Could actually ring my tshirt and jeans out!
Still my fave venue and hopefully they will be ok carrying on.

I was at the first one of these and instantly noticed it for the dirty, plagiarising shit that it was (and im a cockney! (kind of))
we stood back and abused it: A SHITE, COMMERCIAL, PRETEND, RAVE IN A NCP CAR PARK, and we got fed up.
I am shocked this is the first death at the venue, but only because the people running it have been KILLING ravers up there for years now. Shame on you.
Well done WHP! I could name names but I'm not going to!!! Those phone calls when you told us not to turn up, when you told us not to play, when you told us not to book that act, not to plan that night! Jokers. This poor guy is a symptom ONLY of your disgusting set-up.
He can rest in peace, and you can die in hell. SHAME ON YOU

You can have a strong fan, several fans and an airflow in any size building. Yeah not going to be A/C but still going to give you a breeze that will effectively cool you down. Basics - doors open at either side of the event etc. The CO2 cannons in a confined area do not help (IMHO)

Its changed venues a few times though now, you been to all of them, store street? the brewery, ? and now trafford park? Anyway I sort of understand where your coming from. A lot of the nights are pretty commercial, lot of the deep house nights now are also full of wankers. Its hard to find a good night that has a good atmosphere/venue and sound people who are there.
I always thought WHP was pretty ontop when it came to security, so if they are going to start coming down hard now then fuck knows whats going to happen. They have a stupid amount of plain clothes security, fuck loads of bouncers. About 6 police cars/vans outside, coppers patrolling and a dog on the door cant really get anymore than that can you??
Still have had top nights in WHP,, and im sure I will this year, SHAME ON THEM? Does sound a bit like a err protest, they do use cuntish things though like not letting you play other venues, so you are exclusive to WHP. Fuck it though, dont want to see the big names there enough good small clubs in Manchester with top quality nights on.
Firstly, Rip to the lad that died on Friday night.
I went there on the Saturday. First time I’ve been.
I’ve been raving for over 10 years, and I can honestly say I have never experienced such a bad night.
To start, the terms on the tickets state last entry is 10.30 so obviously you have thousands of people all arriving early doors and at roughly the same time, which created massive ques. There was no searches or metal detectors or anything like that, which is obviously sound for getting in gear, but given the fact what happened the night before I found it surprising. Once inside, I can honestly say I have never seen anything like it – absoloutely jam packed - every room, every corridor, every toilet, every seat taken (seating area for about 20 people max). The heat was unbearable, and everyone generally looked pissed off. We decided not to take anything as I was already dripping with sweat just trying to navigate around from room 3 to room 1 without even dancing, so there was no way I was dropping- FAR too dangerous, and if you wanted any “fresh” air in the smoking area there was a big hot cue to wait in.
Shambles of a night, but more importantly it was dangerous - not that the organizers care cos every single night is a sell out.

WHP gets the best acts around, so it's sort of mandatory for anyone into the music, but it's so fucking commercial I actually don't like going. Only been three times like but that was enough. Much prefer smaller, more intimate venues. Less security, fewer cunt dealers, safer all round. But if you're into the music and the drugs, there's no real choice.
Why am I posting this? Not sure. It's just fucking horrible that this has to happen.

Nice report mate. Easy to see how too much MDMA let alone PMA could get you into trouble there.

The more I hear about WHP the worse it sounds. I've never been and don't think I ever will.
two non drug taking friends are selling there tickets for saturdays event after hearing about the hospiltalisations and death , maybe just a coincidence but i dont think i be going there after reading king 87's report, i have been like that countless times at places (dying for water sweating my brains out in the midst of a crowd) i can see how things like this happen to at places like this (not saying it wasnt the drug cause obviously something iffy was going around) most likely pma or another shitty stim sold as mephedrone or whatnot!

Ick, that sounds horrible. Makes me worry a bit about seeing the Prodigy there. Hopefully winter will be cooler though.
Also nice to see someone with the sense to stay sober if it's the safer thing to do.

haha yes mate, just think the place gets some harsh reviews, but imo circus liverpool is the best rave round here.

Indeed, King87 should get the HR post of the year award for that, nicely done
WHP sounds a bit like Drome/SeOne was in London back in the day, before they sorted out the airflow with those massive fans.

You should give him some credit for the username, though, eh?

And you're a scouser? Have you got some feedback rating we can go on?
Ability to use a keyboard, all sorts of things.

Been to WHP few times at new venue and each night been totally different, i think it massively depends on the crowd, if its full of young pissed up kids its horrendous but get a slightly older crowd and it can be top night! Yes its hot but get that many people inside and its gonna be hot, they do have a tendancy of overselling tho in my opinion! I too am going to see The Prodigy later in year and expect it to be rammed to the max!
As someone else has said there is loads of wicked smaller venues in Manc currently, bit too much deep house for my liking hence why ive started my own night at Sound Control, bringing a bit of Prog etc back to Manc starting this Sat night with Jody Wisternoff(shameless plug i know)
Back on topic tho for warehouse do's i wasnt keen on the boddingtons venue but loved teh sankeys warehouse they did down ancoats before it got knocked down!

Aye? Might pop down, my mate had a night there for a bit, was called Bump. Not sure if its still going or not, anyway ill pop in on Sat if we are about usually end up there quite often anyway.
Got my eye on the Bashmore night with Laurent Garnier and Derrick Carter though (not really a fan of bashmore), and the Flying Lotus one, wont be going this year for new years day I dont think.. The Jackathon with Chandler, Magda etc dosent lookt oo bad either
