One Of Manchester's Top Commercial and Funky House DJ's Carl Kennedy has been long established in the Manchester and North West Area , not to be confused with his namesake based in the USA & Australia . His regular weekly residencies attract over 3500 people per week to his gigs . His following with the student population Of Manchester is "Legendary" as he has played at many SU parties including the annual "Torremelinos" All Nighter . Here's a brief history of Carl's DJ career .... I first started DJ'ing in 1984 when I realised i was a terrible breakdancer ! . Self taught mixing and scratching took me to the DMC mixing championships in 1988 at the world famous , now sadly de-constructed Hacienda . I got through the daytime heats to the final 6 where after being under the intense pressure of being first on ! I came a credible 3rd in the North Of England . From there , I played at many private parties and 88/89 raves which were absolutely blinding . I then took up residency at Fridays Nightclub in Didsbury Manchester in 1990 until 1997 playing on a Mon , Thurs, Fri & Sat nights . The HACIENDA became part of my life again in 1994 when I Dj'd the Student Night on a Tuesday Night , this was an amazing experience , I am very proud to say I actually have played there to a packed out Hac with everyone going off it !! - incredible ! I also have played a guest spot with Alastair Whitehead and Paul Dakeyene on The ministry of sound tour in oct 2000 , and also I played a set at GOLDEN New Years eve 2000-01 at Manchester academy , 9pm-11.30pm in the trance room before Eddie Halliwell which was wicked . I was RESIDENT AT ES PARADIS IBIZA IN 2001 & 2002 , playing at the very successful disco inferno and deja vu nights , an unbelievable experience playing sets at one of the worlds most beautiful clubs and most prominent dj booths you can ever see .Whilst on the island i also ended up playing at Kanya , Itaca , Trops and Chac Mool . My residencies have taken me from Manchester University Students Union to venues all over the country , culminating in my current gigs at the two biggest nights in Manchester at Tiger Tiger and Paparazzi . I have also done gigs alongside RnB Legend Trevor Nelson , Hip Hop Don Tim Westwood & The World Champion Dj Ca$h Money . 2006 Residencies Currently At Monday - Vodka Island - Tiger Tiger Manchester Friday - Pure Sessions @ Pure Manchester Saturday - Vanity @ Paparazzi Manchester New Years Day 2006 , I made my debut for Goodgreef in Newcastle in the house room , an amazing gig and definitely looking to doing more events with them this year . 2006 looks like its gonna be a blinder with some awesome summer gigs already lined up .
