It's Official

The British are officially coming on October 31, 2013 when the Ibiza nightclub frainchize Sankey's will officially be making it's long-awaited debut.  The club will be located on 29 West 36th Street, in the Midtown West section of Manhattan, the previous location of District 36   The two-room club will be fitted with a Void Incubus sound system. It also boasts "the world’s first hydraulic LED Grid Matrix system," according to a press release.  





Sankey's opening weekend will feature a Halloween party on Thursday night with a 2-hour set by multi-talented musical maestro, Reboot along with No Regular Play, My Favorite Robot, and Dave Rosario. Friday, the fun continues with Amarali, Slow Hands, Fur Coat, and Tanner Ross. These action-packed three days will round off with a Saturday party being headlined by the controversial, self-proclaimed "House Gangster," DJ Sneak along with Julian Perez and Deep and Disco presents JKRIV.



“Working alongside the same team (Antonio Piacquadio, Paolo Angelo and Rob Toma) that helped me make Sankeys Ibiza become another world-respected nightclub, I am very much looking forward to creating a new nightclub for New York. I have always wanted to live and open a club in my favourite city in the world since I went to Vinyl to see Danny Tenaglia in the early 2000s I really cannot wait to finally bring a lot of new music and artistes to the city that taught me about what house music really means. If we can achieve even half what the great clubs like Sound Factory, Paradise Garage and Tunnel did for the city then I will be more than happy.  We have waited three years for this project to finally become a reality. Hopefully it will be worth the wait.”
-Vincent, Sankey's Creative Visionary



First we had Marco Carola's residency at Marquee, now Sankey's is opening… and we can't forget that popular nightclub brand Space will be joining the party sometime in the near future.  New York City nightlife seems like it's finally making a comeback since the 1990s.  Will NYC live up to expectations set forth by the rich, club-culture heritage of it's past? Will it surpass it? Only time will tell, but one thing that's for sure is that it's going to be one hell of a ride.
