After massive growth touring the globe, Do Not Sleep returned to Ibiza for another season without any sleep. For summer 2017, the no-nonsense house and techno party moved to Sankeys.
This past summer marked the debut of the party at the Playa d'en Bossa club. The opening party got you started on Wednesday 24 May. In charge of deck-duties on the first night, we had Skream, Darius Syrossian, Alan Fitzpatrick, Solardo, Detlef, Matt Tolfrey and Jamie Roy.
The full-blown season, however, kicked off a month later on Tuesday 27 June and continued every Tuesday for 14 weeks until 26 September. Darius Syrossian stepped in as main resident, with him locked in across every date except 4 July. You also had Detlef, Jamie Roy, Nathan Barato and Alan Fitzpatrick jumping in as residents, with Fitzpatrick showcasing his label, We Are The Brave, across select dates.
July highlights included a one-off appearance from Carlo Lio in a B2B special with Nathan Barato under their moniker The Roaches. The following week - 11 July - you had Deetron and Nick Curly in the Basement, while Griff took on the Spektrum room with his Griff's Gaff series. On 1 August, Alan Fitzpatrick was in with the first of his We Are The Brave takeovers in the LAB, and Haze Records took over Spektrum with label founders Loui, Azz Johnston and CEEJ representing.
September brought us Christian Burkhardt, Francisco Allendes and Man Power, with one-off appearances, and the last DNS party of the season recruited Darius Syrossian, Mar-T, Luca Donzelli, Jamie Roy and Alan Fitzpatrick, among more.
