all back to ours hq was at atlas bar in Manchester in the early 2000s. we played house & disco music. famously djs climbed 15 feet of ladder with vinyl & equipment to get up to the dj booth & stage right above the bar. rewarded with free drinks, a small budget & great fun & hedonism playing every friday and bank holiday Sundays for a number of great years....

we want to thank gerry, corrine, gaz harvey, shipwreck kevin, the doorstaff, the best toilet guy in the world, regulars like tony wilson (rip) who’d stand at the end of the bar, the shameless cast & other regulars that dropped by.. ABTO featured in back room clubs (hence the name abto) & played numerous warm ups at the powerhouse clubs of the time like sankeys, miss moneypennies, ampersand, egg club, north, club v, moho live, elemental which were amazing times. .From 2008-2010 gaz james and dave law took the party to the brickhouse London for some crazyparties with lots of beautiful people and dj talent & vocalists.
