Sankeys AllNighter - Mark Knight and Zoo Brazil tickets and listings

Sankeys AllNighter - Mark Knight, Zoo Brazil, Dekker and Dillan Joseph

Saturday March 6^th sees Sankeys offer a purist’s delight as they serve up some of the best house music this side of Chicago from some of the finest exponents of it on the entire scene. Headlined by one of the leading stars of the last few years who has risen to a rarefied level rarely reached, Mark Knight leades the charge for this fantastic Sankeys session.

The embodiment of the modern DJ, Mark Knight’s legacy already ranks him as a leading player in dance music culture’s evolution into the digital and globalised age. His high octane sets, which treble and bass their way right across the dance music spectrum, have caused dance floor carnage in every corner of the world, whilst his original productions and slick remixes make his studio skills the most in-demand and sought after in the business. With Toolroom Records, Mark ripped up the rule book and pioneered the arrival of an era where the role of the DJ was more than just 2 hours behind the decks on a Saturday night. Pushing new boundaries and blending the lines between DJ and producer, Mark’s consistent stream of stellar tracks set a precedent that meant DJ dinosaurs had to shape up - DJs who don’t produce their own music have become extinct! Moreover, thanks to Mark, Toolroom has become a byword for cutting edge sounds and innovation within contemporary dance music, whether through underground sublabel ‘Toolroom Trax’ or their unparalleled pursuit of new electronic music talent.

As a Zoo BraZil he has performed all over the world at some of the best clubs including Ministry of Sound and Pacha, and has played underground clubs and festivals the world over in Australia, Europe, North and South America. 2009 was another amazing year for John with new Zoo Brazil releases on Tiga's Turbo label, Defected, Systematic, Size, Joia, Renaissance, Nero and Dubfire's SCI TEC label as well as a new artist album coming out and 2010 has already started firing on all cylinders.

Dekker’s style has since evolved to combine the quick-cutting ethos of his roots with, cutting-edge underground dance music. His sets are made up of all varieties of house & techno beats and b-lines, elements of disco and acid and a plethora of fresh productions and edits, all impatiently mixed and chopped with his trademark pinpoint accuracy.

Dillan Joseph supports with his own take on house and electro beats.
