Since its launch in February, AREA51 has achieved its aim of pulling in a friendly crowd of up-for-it punters to get down all night (and morning) to the sounds of the cream of electro, techno and house – it’s often still rammed at 9am!

Add to the mix an earth-shaking Funktion One system and you’ve a recipe for one of the dirtiest knees-ups in the North West since the Hac was in full swing!

6th September – Sharam Jey (King Kong, Underwater Records) & Residents
Germany-born Sharam is the first global name AREA51 welcomes through its doors in September. The King Kong records boss peddles a grubby blend of electro, techno house and whatever else he fancies, and his new album, ‘4 Da Loverz’ is due out on the 19th September on Darren Emerson’s Underwater label. Jey will be ably supported by the AREA 51 residents.

20th September – Hook n Sling
With recent Hook N Sling tracks like ‘The Best Thing’ doing the damage the world over, his slamming remixes for labels like Cr2 and artists like Stanton Warriors, this is hyped as one of THE dates of his UK tour.

The team behind Sankeys know how to put on a party. And that’s putting it mildly. The club was recently voted 17th best on the planet in DJ magazine, and what made that special was the fact it was voted for by DJs and music industry professionals. The esteemed Canada-based website The Fresh Page went one better by putting Sankeys firmly in the top 10, as its impact resonates across the pond and across the planet. People are therefore understandably excited by this next project, from the people who bought you Sankeys. “We all get older,” says Sankeys main honcho David Vincent, “and I’ve designed the club that I would want to go to.”

Taking things back to their core, the Sankeys team spent some time travelling the world to see what makes a good club tick. On their travels, the team drew strong influences from two creative and electric cities – Berlin and New York – and returned with a vision to create something truly visionary in Manchester, with a policy of promoting underground electronic music, giving a stage to young producers and DJs, nurturing the next generation of music talent in this country, as though in a disco incubator.

A completely new club space, the key note of Spektrum will focus on intimacy and connectivity, with a deliberately cosy capacity of 350 and a concentration more on production, sound (a half Funktion 1, half Phazon beast) and creating a space with high impact, as soon as you walk through the doors. A new take on top-end drinks… on comfort (with bookable booths)… on a brand new LED lighting system that will actually run across the ceiling in tempo with the music… everything has been carefully considered to create a grown-up, futuristic clubbing experience.

The team have been very proactive in their hunt for the ultimate clubbing experience, with the aim to do nothing less than take clubbing in Manchester to the next level. With a lighting and sound system set to be the envy of many clubs across Europe, Spektrum really will bring Berlin to the streets of Ancoats…

p.s. 17th Best Club In The World (DJ Magazine poll May 2008)

This party will celebrate the release of Moby’s latest album, Last Night, the latest album from the New York-based producer who has brought us so much good music – from tracks like Go (and the seven others that hit the top 40), through the varied atmosphere of the album Play, the soundtrack to so many ads and perhaps the soundtrack to the lives of urbane night kids through the 90s and noughties,

Moby has toured the UK before, alongside artists such as The Prodigy, but this will be his first DJ set in Manchester in a decade – ten long years without the producer who is as well known in clubland as he is in the pop world.

So, the internationally acclaimed DJ has chosen Sankeys for the Manchester leg of his ‘last night’ tour. And Sankeys. already famed for attracting the very best of international DJs, is delighted to host this exclusive set. I-DJ remarked this month: “Sankeys is a clubbing institution that never fails to exceed expectations”.

This will be another chance to do just that…

Where: Sankeys, Radium Street, Manchester M4 6AY
When: Thursday July 24th, 9pm – 3am
More information @ www.sankeys.info or 0161 236 5444
Support from Greg Vickers, Ellesse and more
Tickets – £5 from www.ticketline.co.uk or www.skiddle.com
