This weekend at Sankeys: Style of Eye, The Mole, Craig Richards and more

The third weekend in November sees a typically eclectic line-up from the world famous Sankeys, ranging from bombastic beats on the Friday to intricate subtlety on Saturday. 

The man at the eye of the storm on Friday is super Swede Style of Eye. But there certainly won't be any calm here, with his bolshy sets renowned for ransacking the obscure just as readily as the bouncier side of modern dance, and always an education in eccentricity. The man behind the brilliantly funky ‘The Big Kazoo’ remains one of the more enigmatic figures on leftfield house, dropping the aforementioned banger with Claude Von Stroke’s Dirtybird and seeing further tracks alongside the Crookers and on a solo tip with Derrick Carter’s Classic recordings.

Joining Style of Eye will be a brilliantly wide-ranging support cast, headed up by beat gurus Juicy, fellow Manc party aficionados Hit n Run, Bora Bora resident Oliver Lang, Phaze One and many more.

24 hours later and it’s quite the big one. Kompakt starlet The Mole drops by, the German tech-house phenomenon one of the continent’s strongest ambassadors of deep and funky dance music. Having a delightfully honed palette that showcases the shoe gazing aesthetic of Kompakt just as readily as the visceral and pumping ethos of classic German techno, he is rightly heralded as one of the most talismanic DJs of his ilk.

And if that wasn’t enough there’s a very special Saturday appearance from Craig Richards. As the musical genius behind Saturdays at Fabric (Craig has programmed the music for every Saturday night at the world renowned club since it opened), he very rarely plays anywhere else on a Saturday - making this appearance quite the booking for Sankeys. Support comes in the shape of Tom Craven, James Cotterill, Cera Alba, Lerosa, Tpot and Treehouse.
