Despite just five years ago stating that he never intended to DJ, New Order bassist Peter Hook is soon to release a compilation that revisits all the classics from the days at the legendary Hacienda.
The Hacienda first opened its doors in 1982 thanks to funding from Factory Records and New Order and was a beacon of the Madchester days. However, thanks to much of the profits over the years going to questionable characters the club closed 15 years later and is know occupied by luxury housing, also named the Hacienda.
The three disc homage, imaginatively titled "The Hacienda Classics", is crammed full of a staggering 52 tracks and draws on Hook's limited DJ experience which was recently showcased in New York.
"The Hacienda Classics" will be available at all good retailers from April 6 thanks to Virgin EMI.
