Sankeys sails further into the future with another double helping of dance music to entice your ears throughout May. As ever it retains the perfect snapshot of contrast within club land, with Friday’s soiree looking longingly into the past whilst Saturday resounds to a more modern approach, still firmly rooted in the aesthetic and values which gift electronic music its rich heritage.
On Friday 18th May Sankeys will be going Retro. Now over a decade old, Paul Taylor’s Retro remains the perfect opportunity to reminisce. Cavorting through every major facet of dance music since the British became embroiled in the sound during the second summer of love, this is where everyone young or old goes to relive, revisit or simply have revealed the rich and varied electronic fingerprint music has indelibly left on our hearts.
Paul’s extended sets fly through classic Chicago house, debonair Detroit Techno, old school breaks and hardcore and allow the shards of rave to come shining through. Each and everyone represents a journey through the halcyon period of dance with lashings of vocals, rhythms and classics all segued together to create a sonorous explosion of timeless music.
Fuse soundtrack Saturday 19th May, their brand of hypnotic funk perfect for the Sankeys focus on underground dance music. Fuse has been built on the rich heritage and history of London’s afterhours scene, eschewing the usual weekend histrionics for a selection of daytime parties on the Sunday that focus more on slow building sets than superstar DJs. Think dubby house, swinging funk and shimmering slo-mo techno all filtering through the speakers.
Such has been the rapid rate of expansion that last summer saw their Ibizan adventures extend to three of the most heralded clubs on the island, Ushuaia, DC10 and of course, Sankeys. Here they are welcomed to show what they can do on home soil, residents Enzo Siragusa and Zito charged with the task of gifting Manchester their brand of sophisticated grooves and razor edged beats, with his Fuse brand dropping into Sankeys Ibiza for select dates during the forthcoming summer season; check out www.sankeysibiza.info
