Tribal Sessions - James Zabiela, SOS, Tom Budden tickets and listings

Tribal Sessions - James Zabiela, SOS, Tom Budden Greg Vickers and Mistress De Funk

Friday 12^th March see the generous folk at Sankeys no only offering deck wizard James Zabiela but also a copy of his new album to each and every person who comes to the gig! Such generosity is rarely seen as the Ancoats team bring together this young prodigy and SOS to Manchester for a night of twisted beats and tough, yet funky techno.

James Zabiela is the light fingered maestro who keeps relentlessly pushing himself further and further into the DJing elite. Zabiela won the coveted Muzik Unsigned DJ award, his CD fatefully falling into the car stereo of a certain Sasha. Amazed by his breathtaking skills, Sasha grabbed James as his warm-up DJ, and the rest, they tend to say, is history... Since then he’s singlehandedly shown the raw power of the Pioneer CDJs, delivering blistering creative mixes and deconstructing tunes on the fly, blowing away expectations of what a DJ should be, developing that rare ability to push back boundaries of technical innovation and keep the crowd happy musically. Marrying music and technology together like no other, James continues to set and break the limits of what is achievable, setting an agenda like no other DJ in his global quest to find and entrance dance floors. This album launch at Sankeys is set to be extra special.

Sex On Substance (SOS) is an uber-cool DJ alliance comprised of Londoners Demi, Desyn Masiello and Omid16B. Friends drawing inspiration from their rich musical heritage, and direction from their beloved Deeper Substance and Sexonwax music labels, SOS was born of a desire to create synergy. The multifaceted rule of threes helps give balance to scores of compositions and also appears to apply in favour of SOS. Individually, Demi, Desyn and Omid have already excelled in the realms of electronic/house music, however, sometimes three heads beat one, six hands are better then two. With a common goal to move people, the innovative triad exist in an exciting digital era when live remixing, personal edits and inimitable shows all allow for differentiation and this is where the dazzling SOS trailblazers shine with their icy-hot approach to DJing in the 21st century.
