Dance 88/89 brings the Acid House and Balearic Beats to Sankeys

The summer of love returns...

Sankeys owner and Mancunian visionary David Vincent recently announced a brand new party to be taking the midweek slot at the Playa d'en Bossa based club for the 2016 season.

The party is called Dance 88/89 and is a nod to the original Dance 89 party (see video) days of acid house and the Balearic beat's peak, where these two legendary artists Matthew Benjamin, aka Bushwacka (Layo & Bushwacka) and Amnesia DJ Alfredo (the Godfather of Balearic Beats) were cutting their trade and making the history we so often reference as being the Summer of Love and the golden years of dance music in the UK, on the island and beyond.

These two DJs will form the backbone residency of the party, which takes place on 19 Wednesdays throughout the season from the opening party on 25th May - the opening day of the International Music Summit. Alongside both residents will be two guest artists per week, with line-ups still a little while off being announced.

This is going to be awesome. ACIIEEEDDD!
