Dance 88/89 bringing acid house back
Sankeys club owner David Vincent has announced his intention to bring back the spirit of the second summer of love with his event Dance 88/89, to be held at Manchester's Victoria Warehouse on Easter Sunday March 27th.
The mammoth line-up mirrors the music programming of the earliest, most influential acid house parties, bringing back such pioneering artists as Adamski, Alfredo, Colin Dale, Evil Eddie Richards, Fabio and Grooverider, Frankie Valentine, Graeme Park, MC Kinky, Marshall Jefferson, Mr C, Nicky Holloway, Terry Farley, Trevor Fung and 808 State.
Speaking about the event, David Vincent said, “Dance 88/89 is my own personal artistic project which celebrates the original music culture of classic underground acid house, in an authentic environment....We now have a dance music industry that is formulaic, predictable and corporate. Back then there was no ‘industry’, there was a pure innocence about it all. I want to take people on a timewarp, back in time and give them the chance to have an authentic acid house experience."
This UK event precedes the launch of Dance 88/89 in Ibiza this summer, which will take place every Wednesday at Sankeys Ibiza with iconic Ibiza legend Alfredo and original Acid House pioneer Bushwacka as residents. They will be joined by a changing weekly programme of guests made up of the aforementioned artists, bringing back the true spirit of Balearic beats and acid house to where they originated from.
