Sankeys Fiesta launches this Saturday!

Closing out the month is the Sankeys Fiesta launch party on Sat 26^th January, with a totemic figure in dance music: Todd Terry. From iconic tracks including Something Goin’ On and Keep On Jumpin’, to remixing everyone from Bjork to Kylie, via Duran Duran and Michael Jackson and a spot of Ultra Nate, Todd’s mercurial touch extends across dance music. Behind the decks he is pure dynamism, a peerless club-rocking party exponent. Dutch deep house duo Detroit Swindle support, along with We Play House Recordings’ co-founder San Soda, plus Jozef K and Us & Them round the end of January off in considerable style.

Brand new Sankeys night Recentes launches this Saturday

Sankeys’ first new night of January is Recentes, fashioning forward-thinking contemporary line ups representing the heart of electronic music.

Resident Advisor have just talked up Recentes and Sankeys' 2nd new night, Fiesta, which launches on Sat 26th Jan here.

 

Kicking off on Saturday 19^th Jan with Dusky, Boddika and Eliphino, Recentes will feature underground stars and up-and-coming new talent across the deep techno to UK garage spectrum, with its task to bring only the freshest sounds to the club. Recentes will feature burgeoning new global DJs, live acts and producers who are really setting themselves apart from the pack, the epicentre for those seeking a more clued-up excursion to their weekends. Dusky's sound is influenced by everything from deep Detroit techno and bumping UK garage to classical and avant-garde electronica, with Boddika breathing new life into the dusty old hardware of days gone by, taking clubs back to a time when the distinctions between electro, house and techno music were far less apparent. Signed to Gilles Peterson’s Brownswood Electric compilation, Eliphino’s DJ sets encompass eclectic sounds from a wide spectrum including hip hop, garage, house, dancehall and jungle. Support comes from Tessela and Shadow Child., with Sankeys’ own Jozef K supporting.

Happy new year from Sankeys - and this weekend's action coming up

 

 

Sankeys wishes everyone a very happy new year and all the best for 2013! This is the club’s 19^th season and we know it’s going to be a very special one. Thanks for all of your support, and here’s to another 12 months of brilliant action at Sankeys.

Sankeys is right back in business from the word go. With the House Party Part 1 already under its belt, attention moves to the first full weekend of the New Year. And after the brilliant run of festive parties through Xmas culminating in NYE’s spectacular show, 2013 promises to be an even greater year, with Sankeys entering its momentous 19^th season in Manchester. As well as brand new nights Recentes and Fiesta starting this month, the club will offer a dynamic range of taste-making DJs and live acts from across Europe and beyond, ushering in a new era of bookings for the Ancoats institution.

Friday 11^th January sees the Just Skank crew with their first huge serving of drum & bass, dubstep, house, garage, jungle, grime and old school hip hop. This is a free party until 11pm, and the perfect chance to savour what this riotous session is all about, with guests Compa, Dash Total'D and D3ADL1NE and over 30 other DJs and MCs taking over Sankeys’ three rooms for a night a bass-ridden partying.

Then globe-trotting re-edit expert The Revenge touches down at Sankeys for the House Party part 2 on Saturday 11^th January. Not only one of the most amiable men in music, Graeme Clark’s majestic touch across disco, house and soul has created a string of unique takes on classics tracks, as well as many acclaimed productions of his own. He’s also a damn fine DJ, touring the world’s finest clubs and boutique festivals, and comes to Sankeys with a huge sense of anticipation, a master craftsman of groove-orientated sets. Berlin-based Hunee and Medlar support; offering deep house and disco across epic sets at his famed Hunchin All Night parties, the acclaimed DJ and remixer Hunee makes his Sankeys debut, with Wolf Music’s Medlar bringing his superlative house sounds to the club too.
