Sankey’s’ first weekend in July is something special. Friday 3RD July sees one of the biggest names in house music rock up at Beehive Mill for a truly special show, as NYC kingpin Roger Sanchez is in the Ancoats house for a special session as part of the club’s 15th anniversary celebrations.
As Sankey’s reaches an incredible milestone through the summer, they have scoured the planet to bring in some of the most revered players around, and in Roger Sanchez is doesn’t really get much better in terms of seminal house music.
The S-Man is an institution in dance music. During the nineties he was house music, cutting up rhythm tracks alongside acapellas and straight up single edits, layering drums and effects over his beats to sound completely alien to everything and everyone else out there. All the top house hits of the era, whether Kenny Dope’s horn led ‘The Bomb’ or Armand van Helden’s hip-hop infused beats, were made by a Roger Sanchez set. And his own productions, notably the chart smashing ‘Another Chance’, ensured his own imprint never left the consciousness of the dancefloor.

This century his input is equally as epochal. Still a key component of Pacha’s parties both in his own native NYC and of course Ibiza, his world famous Release Yourself parties have moved home this season, dovetailing with Armada’s trance led abandon at Amnesia every Tuesday. And he’s regularly taking his electro charged sound around the globe, rocking each and every corner of the planet with his rampant funk and erstwhile grooves. Don’t miss this opportunity of catching a true legend up close and personal.As Sankey’s reaches an incredible milestone through the summer, they have scoured the planet to bring in some of the most revered players around, and in Roger Sanchez is doesn’t really get much better in terms of seminal house music.
