Sankeys - Saturday 19th September With Pete Tong

It’s become an annual fixture at Sankeys, the legendary Manchester club, who welcome an equally legendary DJ who remains one of the pivotal forces in the dance music world.

Date published: 16th Sep 2009

Globally revered for his support and championing of the underground, of helping break some of the now world’s biggest acts and ceaselessly searching for pioneering new sounds in the ever evolving music world, it is impossible to think of anyone who has made a bigger and more sustained impact in dance music. And as Sankeys enters the last few dates of its magnificent 15th anniversary celebrations, this Saturday September 19th date is all the more apt.  

The man is Pete Tong. He is known worldwide by fans of electronic music for hosting programmes such as Essential Mix and Essential Selection on Radio 1, which can be heard around the world through internet radio streams, for his record label FFRR Records, and for his own performances at nightclubs across the globe. Tong has also worked as a record producer and is known by the nickname of Lord of the Dance.

Pete is supported by Andres Dyer, who after 9 years in the industry has shown a solid evolution since the early days when he started spinning. His understanding of the constant evolution of electronic music made him a very versatile DJ, playing almost all the different styles of house music with his unique selection of tracks and razor-sharp mixing skills. 

Sankeys resident and Kaluki promoter Ellesse also steps up for this gig. 

Upstairs, Spektrum presents Reboot. Germany’s Frank Heinrich aka Reboot is known to lay down tracks that are so visceral they’re positively orgasmic. His approach to performance and production is based around what he calls ‘complex polyrhythmic architecture’ – not forgetting a musical heritage that spans house, techno, world music and jazz. With proven releases on such labels as Below, Cadenza and Cocoon, an explosive live show and a DJ career that’s more versatile than many imagine, Reboot has earned every inch of his reputation as a speaker-freaker.
