The 28th March 2008 is the date set for one of the biggest collaborations seen in the capital, in terms of underground dance music, for what seems like an age. Heavyweights in their respective areas, The End, DJ Marky & Friends and springfestival have joined forces to create a one off spectacular to further elevate the status of each brand as a world leader and to raise awareness for the forthcoming springeight festival to be held in Graz, Austria between the 22nd and 25th May.
The End has been at the forefront of the London club scene for over a decade and has cemented itself into the hearts and minds of regulars and frequenters alike from all over the globe. With its ear firmly on the ground, The End has a knack for showcasing the very best in eclectic club nights with a host of top Djs and producers all clamouri ng for a coveted spot at the venue in the heart of London’s West End.
The DJ Marky & Friends event is, therefore, one that fits into the mould that The End has created very well, and over the past 3 years has been a dominant force across the board with Main Room performances from Gilles Peterson, Laurent Garnier, Fabio and some epic all night sets from DJ Marky. The focus is purely on crowd participation and enjoyment, with an atmosphere and clientele that has changed the perceptions of Drum & Bass events across the UK.
This year, springfestival’s eighth year in existence, sees The End up sticks and take its wealth of talent and expertise to Graz, where they will take control of Dom Im Berg (the central hub of the festival) for the showpiece evening on Saturday the 24th May. The Saturday of the week long festivities has always been considered the highlight and in honour of this, The End has worked tirelessly on creating a lineup to further enhance the appeal of the event. The End Presents : DJ Marky & Friends will no doubt be one of the highlights and as such, artists such as DJ Marky will be shifting up a gear to wow and woo an eager and knowledgeable group of dance music veterans.
To better publicise the Austrian event, and indeed The End and DJ Marky & Friends participation in Graz, an extra special launch party has been organised at AKA (situated next door the The End) prior to the forthcoming DJ Marky & Friends night on March 28th. The launch party will take place between 9 and 11 pm on the mezzanine level of AKA, with DJ Marky & Friends ready to set The End alight from 10pm onwards, featuring extended sets from Rainer Trüby and of course DJ Marky.
