This sounds top.
Do they really have to put (new order) next to Hookys name? c'mon!
I dont think anyones going to think, 'oh aye. peter hook, that guy from Monoco' hahaha.
I only went to the Hac' once, and it was on the tail end of Flesh, so it wasnt the best time to go.
FAC 471 A Celebration of the Hacienda - this Saturday @ Manchester Academy
A reminder that this Saturday 3 December it's FAC 471 A Celebration of the Hacienda at Manchester Academy (which will be decked out inside to look as much like the Hac on Hot night as possible). The DJ line-up features Pickering and Park, 808 State (DJ set), Jon Da Silva and Peter Hook. Plus, watch out for special FAC/HAC guest appearances on the night.

The place really started get going during Jon Da Silva's very nice set. He played a load of Detroit classics, fantastic stuff. As the zero hour approached, it was time for Darren to take over the decks. He opened his set with the only hip-hop record played all night, but boy did it rock - It Takes Two by Rob Base & E-Z Rock! More classics flowed and when Andy hit the decks at half time he kicked off with one of my faves: Hardfloor's Acperience. Two hours of non-stop extatic dancing. When Graeme Park took the stage, the music started to get a bit more 'for the ladies' which is probably what he used to play at the Hacienda anyway. He took turns with Mike Pickering and classics like LFO's LFO were dropped. I remember being praised all night by ravers for my Japanese 808 t-shirt.
Then 3am, and, I was hoping for it, Andy took the stage once more and dropped the tune which closed the Hacienda nights for months and months back in the days - Pacific State. Mental.

Thanks!
Also could it be that Slam's Positive Education was played? Not sure anymore, maybe I'm simply mixing it up with Phuture Phantasy Club's Slam...
