Berlin Meets New York via Manchester - Spektrum
31st Aug 2008
Where: Radium Street, Manchester, M4 6AY
When: September 2008
Tickets: Spektrum Tickets are on sale now and available exclusively from skiddle.com!
Rumours have been filtering through the nocturnal clubscape of Manchester for some weeks now that something nuclear is about to detonate on Radium Street. We are in a position to confirm those rumours, by detailing that a new club will indeed open its doors on the first weekend of September 2008. That club is Spektrum.
The team behind Sankeys know how to put on a party. And that's putting it mildly. The club was recently voted 17th best on the planet in DJ magazine, and what made that special was the fact it was voted for by DJs and music industry professionals.
The esteemed Canada-based website The Fresh Page went one better by putting Sankeys firmly in the top 10, as its impact resonates across the pond and across the planet. People are therefore understandably excited by this next project, from the people who bought you Sankeys. "We all get older," says Sankeys main honcho David Vincent, "and I've designed the club that I would want to go to - my dream club, and the last club I will design."Taking things back to their core, the Sankeys team spent some time travelling the world to see what makes a good club tick. On their travels, the team drew strong influences from two creative and electric cities - Berlin and New York - and returned with a vision to create something truly visionary in Manchester, with a policy of promoting underground electronic music, giving a stage to young producers and DJs, nurturing the next generation of music talent in this country, as though in a disco incubator.
A completely new club space, the key note of Spektrum will focus on intimacy and connectivity, with a deliberately cosy capacity of 350 and a concentration more on production, sound (a half Funktion 1, half Phazon beast) and creating a space with high impact, as soon as you walk through the doors. A new take on top-end drinks... on comfort (with bookable booths)... on a brand new LED lighting system that will actually run across the ceiling in tempo with the music... everything has been carefully considered to create a grown-up, futuristic clubbing experience.
The team have been very proactive in their hunt for the ultimate clubbing experience, with the aim to do nothing less than take clubbing in Manchester to the next level. With a lighting and sound system set to be the envy of many clubs across Europe, Spektrum really will bring Berlin to the streets of Ancoats...
