With two massive nights already Sankeys East welcomed itself to Essex in an array of strobe lights and noise.

Friday 24th February: ByDayByNight XXXY & Brassica Live with Special Guests @ Bloc


ByDayByNight return to 2017 with a night that promises to offer a wide range of UK house of techno celebrating the best that our shores have to offer. XXXY‘s presence on the line up alone should be enough to excite the up and coming artists ability to blend iconic house melodies alongside more contemporary bass sounds will be a big draw for any music fan. Brassica‘s appearance on the Feel My Bicep label should be enough to understand that his live show won’t be contained to one genre or sound, Brassica’s wide palette will be as exciting as it is unpredictable!


 
Saturday 25th February Bicep @ Fabric


Perhaps the countries most ambitious and versatile electronic export Bicep spent 2016 refining, remixing and performing live to countless crowds across the globe. Now, they return to Fabric alongside resident Craig Richards and Man Power to deliver a set that will surely seal Fabric’s resurrection.


 
Saturday 11th March Winter Social @ Kent Event Centre


Some people mark Glastonbury as the beginning of the festival season, well the team behind The Social may have something to say about that. Their triumphant winter social is becoming a must attend for many music fans and after a monumental summer festival this looks set to equal its sunny sister site. Performances from the legendary Sven Vath alongside a mouthwatering B2B between Nic Fanciulli and Hot Since 82 means this pre-spring rave may truly become festival seasons true catalyst.
