--------------------------------------------------
MARK EG is one of the UK’s legendary underground DJ’s – someone who has been consistently playing his `hard dance` sound on dance floors throughout the UK and Germany, Australia, Canada, USA, Brazil, Thailand and Eastern Europe for many years. His unique (seen to be believed) physically explosive performances have gained him a cult following of fans. He has been scene championing the `harder edge` of the dance music scene not only as a DJ but also as a journalist writing for M8, DJ and Mixer (USA). As a producer he has released records with the likes of Chris Liberator, Dave The Drummer, Uppercut, Cluster, Hydraulix and Blueline (USA), demonstrating his ability to cross between techno, acid techno and a hint of hard trance.

‘CLUB XPERIMENTS` features 17 `hard dance’ tracks from many top DJ’s and producers and delivers a mix that, although focusing a more techno-based sound, incorporates influences that have led to the recent development of `hard dance’. It offers an insight into where the `sound is and progressing to`. This serves as a basis for further exploration as producers, DJ’s and clubbers alike search for something new – something original.

• admission $15 || NO GUEST LIST || dj's fees covered by 300 paying customers

--------------------------------------------------
• OUR "NO GUEST LIST" POLICY EXPLAINED:

The money you would've spent at a bar anywhere else more than pays for the cover charge here, b/c of the b.y.o.b. policy. We mean no disrespect to local DJ's, promoters, producers, artists, etc. We have to pay DJ fees, the agents booking fee, the flights (often from Europe) and of course hotel rooms, not to mention the investment in sound and decor that went into the space. Multiply the capacity by the cover charge and see what we have to work with. Thank you for understanding.
