Northern Soul: Meet the young DJs keeping a genre alive

Popular in the 1970s, a new wave of Northern Soul events in Manchester are drawing in young crowds.

Greta and Isaac wanted to make Northern Soul accessible for people who may not typically be interested in the genre

The pair play a mix of old and new tunes, with the belief this is how they can push the movement forward and "adapt for 2024". The DJ duo met when Isaac was playing at Cafe Blah in Withington, with the pair saying: "The rest is history." "I always felt very excluded in traditional Northern Soul spaces, it's built off black and brown music... I'd get loads of hassle and stares, obviously I’m a brown woman," Greta said.
