Sankeys kicks off 2012 with Berlin's Oliver$

Sankeys kicks off its 2012 campaign with a January party headlined by a burgeoning European talent and the club’s two main residents on deck duty.

The special guest is, well, a bit special. The past three years have seen Oliver$’s name evolve into a young star of house music. This Berlin born and based producer has gained acknowledgment through a series of solid releases on labels such as Made To Play, Grand Petrol and Front Room Recordings. Remix credits can be found amongst the most famed independents; including Greco Roman, Rekids and Exploited as well as majors: Polydor and Ministry of Sound. 2011 was a huge turning point for Oliver$, his remix of the top ten track from Aloe Blacc ‘I Need A Dollar’, gained respectable coverage amongst the online community, which was quickly followed by his number 1 Beatport track ‘Doing Ya Thang’, released on Play It Down; Made To Play’s sister label. ‘Doing Ya Thang’ remained at the top of the charts for an astounding five weeks. It is clear there are exciting times ahead for this prominent Berlin house producer who opens his diary at Sankeys on Saturday January 7th, a DJ and producer who is gaining recognition across the world as his unique style of house continues to grow in popularity.

Sankeys’ own two main residents also star. Ellesse is the architect and resident behind the Saturday sessions, which after taking over the whole of last summer is now a permanent weekly fixture, showcasing forward-thinking electronica from the world over. Ellesse is a master craftsman of this sound himself, his reputation continuing to swell across the city.

Jozef K is Sankeys’ newest recruit and already he has made a name for himself behind the decks, working across deep house and techno soundscapes. Plastic Co. support this stellar party to kick off the new year.
