Sankeys 20th Anniversary Celebrations
House | Wednesday 2nd July 2014 | Osh
This year iconic nightclub Sankeys celebrates their 20th anniversary. Marking this huge milestone they will be programming an array of special projects and underground events.
Sankeys Soap first opened its doors in June 1994 on Jersey Street in Manchester, England. Beehive Mill was a Victorian building built at the start of the Industrial Revolution. Since then, the club, with its headquarters in Manchester, and newly opened venues in New York and Ibiza, has been at the heart of the electronic music scene, pioneering new club night concepts, offering up a versatile choice of musical styles and doing so in the finest club spaces imaginable.
David Vincent says on the eve of the 20th anniversary:
“At this moment in time, I can safely say that Sankeys Ibiza is the number one club in the world right now. In the last 20 years of my career I have been involved in four of the best nightclubs in the world, The Hacienda, Ministry Of Sound and Pacha Ibiza in the 90’s and Sankeys Manchester in the noughties. All these clubs at some point during these periods were recognized as being the best clubs in the world. Comparing Sankeys Ibiza to these clubs, I can safely say we are the best and I’m extremely proud of what we have achieved in the last 20 years.”
Kicking off the celebrations last week they held the world famous Tribal Sessions party in Ibiza. This special party saw the likes of Darius Syrossian, Gorgon City, Just Be, and US house pioneers Todd Terry & DJ Sneak gracing the decks. To celebrate 20 years of Sankeys, Tribal Sessions will be throwing 20 parties this summer. They will also be hosting 20 events around the world from Peru to Brazil, Japan to Switzerland and Croatia to NYC. It will also be putting on its biggest event to date, a 20,000 capacity festival. Think big though, because Sankeys only deals in the best as they have proved over the last two decades. This summer we also see the release of a very special Sankeys 20th Anniversary mix CD that has been put together live in the club, by resident DJ Darius Syrossian. The first disc includes all new and exclusive Syrossian tracks and the second is a collection of classics that have defined the club over the years.
Last but not least, there have been 20 changes made to the club in Ibiza. Details of these will only be made known to those who make the trip down to experience The Lab, Basement and Spektrum. Very few clubs get to hit the 20 year mark, but Sankeys has done so in style, and is very much at the forefront of the global electronic music scene. 2014 will celebrate and strengthen this preeminence and point the way to an even more exciting future.
