Following a packed out party with Dave Clarke and Technasia we start the new year with a international killer line up with some of the most talked about artists in Techno.

Featuring ...

ROBERT HOOD (UR)

Robert Hood needs little introduction. The American electronic music producer and DJ was is a founding member of the legendary group Underground Resistance as a 'Minister Of Information' with Mad Mike Banks & Jeff Mills. He is often considered to be a founder of minimal techno. The last time Robert Hood played Sankeys he blew the roof off , be ready for more of the same !


FRANK LORBER (COCOON)

Frank Lorber is working as a professional DJ worldwide for almost 17 years now, and he is a long time member of Cocoon. May it be at Womb in Tokyo or in Ibiza at Amnesia – Frank has played in all the big clubs on this planet. Not only as a solo artist he already released in the past years on labels like Cocoon Recordings & Harthouse. His last album Jailhouse Rocker was released on Cocoon Recordings and showed once more the choice of Franks great flexibility.

JAMES RUSKIN (TRESOR , BLUEPRINT)

London born and based techno producer and DJ. James Ruskin comes from a background that first put him in touch with hip-hop and electro and later with the emerging detroit techno scenes. This inspired him to become a DJ in 1991 and venture into production with studio-partner Richard Polson by 1994. Founded Blueprint with Polson in 1996. As Blueprint grew, he delivered his first solo releases and appeared elsewhere as remixer and co-producer.

Not too many moons ago, the humble club flyer was an object of purpose and meaning.

It represented such promise. It gave you a goal to work towards, it was proudly blu-tacked up on your wall like a battle scar. A memento of that eight or so hours of sweaty hedonism, or a constant reminder of what was to come.


================================================== ==========
************************************************** *************************************************


It also (of course) served a more practical purpose. Prior to the advent of Facebook, Myspace, and forums dominating the lives and intentions of the nocturnal hordes, the only way to spread the word was outside a club in the early hours, frantically handing out these precious slips of information and guidance to everyone who walked through the door and onto the street.

The digital age keeps us in touch with each other in a much more efficient way, allowing us to track down previously unknown like-minded people with consummate ease. The way we can share experiences and knowledge has moved well beyond the physical hand-to-hand transfer of paper.

With this opinion in mind, we want our flyers to be the ones you decline to tear apart as roach material but instead tack on your wall as a lasting memento of an unforgettable night. We want to make everything we do something you want to keep.


================================================== ==========
************************************************** *************************************************


So for our January gig we have decided to run with an idea that is a little off the beaten track.

3 artists, 3 Colours, 3 flyers. Each represented in their own right in separate prints, each paying homage to one particular headliner of our January shindig. We have placed them in different places, distributed certain colours at certain events, we’ve mixed and matched in order make it a little less straight forward.

Ultimately our intention is thus…Anybody that collects and hands over all three different Colour flyers to us will be in with a chance of having all three signed by the artists themselves, framed, then given back to you.

Stemming from a thought that crossed our mind and was met with such resounding positivity that we decided to press on with it, we feel it gives the familiar build up between now and Colour’s return to Sankeys a fresh dimension. An extracurricular little something to those who have come from where we’ve come from and those who value and believe in what a flyer stands for, just as we do.

This fri !!
