About Voodoo Circus Events:
Voodoo Circus Events is a new clubbing event coming to Manchester, launching in July. Endeavouring to offer the very best in events, brands and DJ’s as well as a friendly and fun crowd, we hope to offer something back to the clubbing World which we feel is long overdue. Undoubtedly you will have heard statements like this many times before, only to be let down and disappointed by empty promises. However, we believe our launch night speaks volumes about our intentions to back up this statement and deliver on our promises. By bringing one of the biggest global brands in House music to Manchester we hope you’ll agree, this statement is far from just words.
The emphasis is on offering our guests a night they will not forget, one they will enjoy and tell their friends about. We have all experienced them but nowadays those nights seem few and far between.
Voodoo Circus intend to bring that back with every night we host, offering three rooms of various styles of music, leaking crisply from the legendary Phazon sound system and spread over officially one of the best venues in the World*, there is something for everyone. But don't just take our word for it, come down to one of our future events and make up your own mind.
There is also an outside terrace and comfortable chill out areas for when you just need a breather, want to rest your tired feet or simply socialise with friends.
*DJMag 2008 – Sankeys voted 17th Best club in the World.
About Sankeys:
There are not many clubs which are situated in the basement of a 200 year old mill, then again there are not many clubs like Sankeys!
Sankeys intends to give the visitor a unique clubbing experience by using quality decor, state of the art ligthing and high quality sound engineering and equipment. The Club is made up of three seperate spaces: The Basement, The Boutique and The Bar with each area offering a different atmosphere, vibe and music policy. The three rooms combine to give Sankeys a capacity of over 1100. Added to that are the outside terrace which offers a chilled atmosphere when needed and also the famous cinema room.
The Basement (Main Room) :
This is the largest space within the club. Exposed brickwork gives a nod to the buildings' past whilst one of the countries leading sound systems combines with and ultra modern LED lighting system to give a truly memorable clubbing experience. The rectangle shape of the room and raised stage allows a large capacity that lends itself well to an intimate and intense atmosphere. The Basement is serviced by bottle bar and can be accessed from both the Bar and the upstairs Boutique.
The Boutique (2nd Room) :
This spacious upper leve fuses an all white decor and warm coloured lighting to create a space unique from the rest of the club. The Boutique offers all the musical options and alternatives of a second room whilst the seating areas and fully serviced bar allow the clubber to relax in comfort. Whether you want to sit down or get down, the Boutique offers something for all tastes.
The Bar (Entrance Area):
The main entrance to Sankeys leads directly into the Bar. This intimate space offers a fully equipped DJ booth, a large serviced bar and snug seating area, the Boudoir, complete with low level lighting and comfortable sections of seating. This is a great area from which to begin your night or to use as a chilled alternative as the rest of the club ups the tempo.

About Petrae Foy:
His diverse choice of music along with his highly competent DJ skills - scratching, cutting, quick and flawless mixing makes him stand out from any average DJ.
At the tender age of 21 Petrae managed to secure a residency at the globally renowned Godskitchen and was a main room resident there for two years, playing alongside the likes of, Mauro Picotto , Mistress Barbra, Fergie , James Zabelia, Scarlett Etienne, and last but not least the almighty Carl Cox!
That is where a young Petrae Foy met Carl Cox for the first time, playing a 4hr warm up for him, six months later Petrae read that he was named Carl’s DJ of the year 2004 at the age of only 23. If that wasn’t enough to boast about, he has already got 3 Global Gatherings under his belt, Homelands on the Radio 1 Sound Stage playing alongside Paul Oakenfold, Timo Mass, Fergie and Seb Fontaine.
Petrae has done 3 mixes for the infamous Fergie Show on Radio 1, headlined the Arches in Glasgow for 3000 people on NYE 2004/2005, and that’s just in this country. He’s Also headlined Cream in Dubai new years eve 2005/2006 to 5000 people out doors at the Aerodrome Racecourse! Petrae has memorised crowds abroad playing regularly overseas, at clubs such as Asia’s biggest club brand Zouk. Also bewildered crowds and promoters in Bali, Indonesia, Singapore, Australia, Venezuela, Dubai, Greece, Brazil, China, and Eastern Europe. To name just a few!
Not content with achieving all the above on just the strength of his magical DJ talent, Petrae has seen a new dawn and in 2006 took a year out working hard in the studio on his own productions. Spending most days working on new ideas for tracks and doing remixes. All this hard work paid off as 2006 has seen a new day for Petrae Foy as a producer, with his very first track ‘What Is It’ co written with Pete Stanley signed to major label Sino/Technasia.
This track triggered a phenomenon with an old colleague Petrae had already won over two years previous, Mr Carl Cox! Who had no hesitation in asking Petrae to appear on his global radio show. In Jan 2006 Petrae went live to over 15 million people in 20 different countries, and his sound went (global). As a result Carl also asked him back as his special guest, to perform a mix on his Christmas show!
Carl Cox’s support hasn’t stopped there, this year Petrae has just finished an itunes podcast for Carl and was the 3rd person in the world to have done one for him. Petrae has been asked at Carl’s request to represent the big man’s Global brand in Holland this year, to play in front of thousands, at the Carl Cox & Friends arena for the World Famous Dance Valley!
Petrae was also asked by one of the UK’s leading labels Toolroom to produce an alternative remix of ‘Sucker DJs - Salvation’, which stormed the charts. This saw a successful close to 2007, alongside being named breakthrough DJ for 2008 by none other than Carl Cox in DJ Magazine.
Recently Petrae teamed up with Phil Caine and Carl Anians (Caine N Anians) to produce this year’s long awaited debut hit track from the trio. With chart entries from top DJs 6 months before its release, as well as an exclusive promo on BBC Radio 1, ‘Kick Back To The Future’ is set to take this summer by storm on top US label ‘Teggno Records’.
Already gaining much respect and hype the trio are about to put the finishing touches to their second project, a remix of ‘Golden Girls - Kinetic’ with one of the UK’s leading dance vocalists Abigail Bailey.
