ROGER SANCHEZ
The Attic, Swansea
Fri 13 Dec
House music sovereign Roger Sanchez is headlining what is sure to be a packed-out night in Swansea’s Attic. Set over two floors and four rooms, Sanchez will be keeping punters going until the early hours, in his first Welsh date for a great many years. The New York DJ has been beyond active and a worldwide draw since the 90s, peaking in the UK consciousness with 2001 chart smash Another Chance, and even winning a Grammy in 2003 for his collaborations with No Doubt, but existing in a more credible sphere with house heads.
It’s evident that house music is reaching a new zenith at present, the 90s revival pouring into clubs with a fervour, Sanchez’s enduring popularity is no surprise. When you see the euphoria his sets create, though, you realise what all the fuss is about.
This one’s hosted by a cabal of three Swansea club promoters – My House, Con7rol and 100% Old Skool – whose recent repertoire includes a sold-out night of live sax-and-DJ bangers from Ben Santiago and Lovely Laura. With dance-till-you-drop basically in the rulebook for these events, Sanchez set will most definitely leave you buzzing – and not needing to go to the gym this week.
Tickets £15-£23. Info: 01792 450850 / facebook.com/theatticswansea
