The Empire with Roger Sanchez, Denney, Burnski & more

Middlesbrough’s The Empire is one of those venues they just don’t make any more. Breathtaking, grand and full of character. The old Victorian theatre will this weekend play host to one of Boro’s biggest underground parties for a long time. New York legend, Roger Sanchez who is known for his serial crate digging will headline the event. With over two decades of experience and vinyl behind him the man is more than capable of bringing the vibe. To match the grandeur of the venue it is only right the promoters bring in some more heavy hitters for support. Sub headlining is Denney and Burnski. Both born and raised on Teeside its a nice touch bringing the boys back to Boro in amongst their busy world tours.

Support comes in the shape of the local crews with *riffraff boss and The RRP resident Lee Pennington joining Solar Knights maestro Lee Walker. Those operating out of the UK’s north will have heard of Shake and the disco driven party causing a ‘Shake Up’ across Manchester, Leeds and of course Boro. Their residents will join one of the UKs most promising artists, REES.
