Greenbins

The Fortress

Saturday

One August night in 1988, a beat thumping through the bricks of The Haçienda hooked him on house music for life. Already versed in hip hop mixing and scratching, he quickly mastered beatmatching, leading to a legendary two-year residency with John J at Monroes, where people queued from 2 pm just to get in. From there Greenbins tore through residencies and guest spots across the North West — Quadrant Park, Maximes, Angels, Bowlers, and countless warehouse parties — cementing his place as a true acid house original.
