A couple of years back Mixmag looked into getting some blue plaques put up in seminal sports for dance music. Well now it seems the article has finally made an impact.

On 23 September a blue plaque will be unveiled at Peter Hook's studio at the Kenion Street Music Building in Rochdale. The former home to a music shop, hire company and two successive studios – Cargo Studios and then Peter Hook’s Suite 16 Studios – the building was in continuous use until 2001 and featured in the 24 Hour Party People movie.

The grand unveiling will see a host of names stepping out to celebrate the influential institutions, including New Order’s Peter Hook and OMD’s Andy McCluskey.
