Marquee - The Star | Sydney, Australia | America’s Largest Nightclub Operator To Launch New Venture [NEWS]


AMERICA’S LARGEST NIGHTCLUB OPERATOR TO LAUNCH NEW VENTURE IN SYDNEY
INTRODUCING MARQUEE - THE STAR, SYDNEY

 

Internationally acclaimed nightclub operator Tao Group is set to bring a monumental change to Sydney’s nightlife landscape with the opening of Marquee - The Star, Sydney in late March 2012.

The new nightclub – the latest jewel in The Star’s $870 million redevelopment - will be overseen by experienced operators Noah Tepperberg, Rich Wolf, Louis Abin, Marc Packer and Jason Strauss, alongside a strong Sydney based team.

The Tao Group has been the force behind the world renowned TAO in New York and Las Vegas, LAVO New York and Las Vegas and Marquee Nightclub & Dayclub at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. The joint venture with The Star’s parent company, Echo Entertainment, will be the group’s first venture outside the United States.

Marquee - The Star, Sydney will be located on the entire top tier of The Star’s new Pirrama Road harbourside entrance, commanding expansive views of Sydney Harbour and the city skyline. With nearly 20,000 square feet of floor space, the venue is designed to house three distinct spaces within the one venue to cater for different tastes and moods.

The recently opened Marquee Nightclub & Dayclub at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas boasts an impressive roster of resident DJs, including Erick Morillo, Kaskade, Red Foo from LMFAO, DJ Chuckie and DJ Vice.  Guests at the club’s grand opening party included A-list celebrities Jay Z, Beyonce, Chris Martin, Gwyneth Paltrow, Cameron Diaz, Rihanna, Kanye West, Mark Wahlberg and Blake Lively.

Noah Tepperberg, from Tao Group said:

“Our team is looking forward to bringing the Marquee brand to Sydney while creating a venue with a distinct Sydney style and personality.  Its been great to see The Star unfold into an impressive casino and hotel, and now dining and entertainment complex, and we are excited to work with the talented Australian based team.“ 

Marquee – The Star, Sydney
Located on the entire top floor of The Star’s glass façade harbourside entrance, Marquee – The Star, Sydney will have a capacity of more than 1,200 people.  Patrons will be able to transition between three lavish rooms and various music experiences.

The Main Room will feature a 30 foot projection stage with an LED DJ booth and two dance floors.  In contrast, a stylish library-style room will offer an intimate lounge experience, accentuated by a working fireplace.  Venturing further into the venue, club-goers will come across the Boom Box, with a separate DJ, state-of-the-art sound system and outdoor patio.  There is also a chill-out area with unparalleled views of the Sydney skyline and a unisex “bathroom lounge”.

Furnished with dynamic and unique interiors, the venue will have a retail store and separate VIP entrance for quick entry from street level.

The Star
The Star has undergone an $870 million redevelopment and expansion and now offers more than 20 restaurants, bars and cafes, a new luxury boutique lifestyle hotel called The Darling, a 16 room day spa, a luxury retail collection, and upscaled gaming areas. David Chang, the Michelin-starred chef and owner of New York’s Momofuku, also opened his first venture outside of the US at The Star. Momofuku SeiĹŤbo opened in October 2011 and has already found critical success with its innovative take on cuisine.

Nero Remix For EA Games 'Syndicate' | FREE MP3 Download [MUSIC]


Nero Remix For EA Games 'Syndicate'
FREE MP3 Download Available at:
facebook.com/Syndicate




In the final installment of their remix series celebrating Starbreeze's re-envisioning of the classic video game 'Syndicate' this February 21st, EA Games is releasing an exclusive remix by the UK’s premiere dubstep duo Nero on the Syndicate Facebook Page. It is available now. Earlier releases by 3-time Grammy winner Skrillex, Digitalism, and Flux Pavilion are also available now.

NERO is North West London producers, remixers du jour, DJs and artists Dan Stephens and Joe Ray, who unleashed their #1 UK debut album 'Welcome Reality' stateside in December on Cherrytree/Interscope.  With its thunderous bass, hail of house rhythms, lightning flashes of rave synths, and showers of guitar, the album “pulls dubstep toward the arena-pop spotlight without leaving its shadows behind,” as The New York Times put it in its review, while Billboard noted that Nero “comes off like a dubstep-powered pop band.”

Now one of the biggest names in both dubstep and drum & bass, Nero are gearing up for a triumphant return to the U.S. in March for their headlining “Second Reality” live tour with their singer Alana Watson, as well as eagerly awaited appearances at the Coachella Music & Arts Festival in April 2012.

With nominations from BBC’s Sound of 2011, XFM’s Sound of 2011, and Music Week’s Top 15, Nero have also won several awards including 2010's Beatport Awards for 'Best Dubstep Act' and 'Best Dubstep Track' for “Act Like you Know.”  Nero have produced remixes for The Streets, La Roux, deadmau5, N*E*R*D and Daft Punk to name a few, and now for respected video game publisher EA Games.

MARQUEE NIGHTCLUB & DAYCLUB
AT THE COSMOPOLITAN OF LAS VEGAS

Marquee DJ Residencies Launching in February & March 2012:

Armin van Buuren, Arty, Cedric Gervais, Cosmic Gate, Dash Berlin, EDX, Gareth Emery, Ferry Corsten, Hardwell, Nicky Romero, Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano


 

Marquee Nightclub & Dayclub is proud to announce more exclusive Las Vegas residencies in 2012, including (in alphabetical order): Armin van Buuren, Arty, Cedric Gervais, Cosmic Gate, Dash Berlin, EDX, Gareth Emery, Ferry Corsten, Hardwell, Nicky Romero and Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano. Recent winner of the Nightclub & Bar Awards for ‘Mega-Club of the Year’ and ‘Ongoing Promotion/Party/Event of the Year’ in the Las Vegas categories, Marquee was also just named “one of the world’s premier destinations for electronic music” by UK’s dance music bible Mixmag. This year, Marquee continues to revolutionize the clubbing experience with all-new programming to elevate its already groundbreaking custom visuals and sound system.  

In alphabetical order:

Armin van Buuren, the Dutch DJ/producer is currently preparing for his extensive ASOT550 world tour and recently received 8 nominations for the International Dance Music Awards (IDMA). Last year he won 6 of the prestigious awards and is now in the running for  ‘Best European DJ’, ‘Best Global DJ’ and ‘Best Producer’, as well as ‘Best Radio Mix Show DJ’ and ‘Best Podcast’ for his A State of Trance show, ‘Best Full Length DJ Mix’ for the A State of Trance 2011 & Universal Religion Chapter 5 compilation and ‘Best Trance Track’ with his Nadia Ali collaboration “Feels So Good.”  Armada Music, the record label of which Armin is the co-founder, won the ‘Best Global Record Label’ three years in a row and is once again nominated for the highly touted award. Armin is currently the highest ranked trance DJ in the global DJ Mag Top 100 poll, and is set to release his next compilation, ‘A State of Trance 2012,’ mixed by Armin van Buuren on March 1 on iTunes.

Arty was just named an ‘EDM Rookie to Watch in 2012’ by MTV, and his big room house anthems such as “Around The World,” “Kate” and “Mozart” (with Mat Zo) have received support by Avicii, Swedish House Mafia, Tiesto, Armin Van Buuren, Above & Beyond and Skrillex. He has also has been targeted by many A-list producers including Axwell, Dirty South and Porter Robinson to collaborate on new productions. His new single “Trio” with Matisse & Sadko is due out shortly and his remix of Dirty South’s “Walking Alone” is already rocking dancefloors (listen on Soundcloud).

Cedric Gervais has reigned supreme over the Miami dance scene for years but still finds time to take his talents to the studio, with production credits that include working with Lenny Kravitz, Deep Dish and Steve Lawler, just to name a few. His first single with Ultra Records, “Burning,” was a great success on both the charts and the underground circuit, and his debut album, ‘The Experiment,’ featured the massive hit, “Spirit in My Life.” This month he releases a new single, Cedric Gervais & CID “Playa” on Ultra. He brings his new Sh!t Show residency to Marquee in March. Watch his 2012 tour trailer on YouTube.

Cosmic Gate’s anthem “Be Your Sound” was just nominated for an IDMA in ‘Best Trance Track,’ (watch the music video on YouTube) as they continue to dominate the electronic dance music world, adding to their hugely received albums, club-rocking singles (including “Not Enough Time,”  'Body of Conflict,” “Analog Feel” and “F.A.V.') and scene-defining classics “Fire Wire” and “Exploration of Space.” 2011 saw Cosmic Gate deliver an Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1 and release ‘Back 2 The Future,’ which occupied Beatport's top 10 chart for an unprecedented three months.

Dash Berlin is known for anthems like “Till The Sky Falls Down,” “Man On The Run,” “Disarm Yourself,” “Waiting,” and “Better Half Of Me,” which is nominated for an IDMA in ‘Best Trance Track’ (listen on YouTube). 2011 saw this Top 10 DJ (in DJ Mag’s Top 100 poll) tour every corner of the world, playing the festival circuit and the legendary ASOT500 celebration with Armin van Buuren. 

EDX has been making a name for himself in the international EDM scene over the past few years, playing the world’s finest clubs and biggest festivals and landing his own weekly ‘No Xcuses’ radio show on Sirius XM’s Electric Area (listen on Soundcloud). Having remixed/produced for the likes of Axwell, Benny Benassi, Kelis, Deadmau5, Armand Van Helden, Bob Sinclar, Kool & The Gang, Kaskade, Armin Van Buuren, Steve Angello, Dubfire and many others, EDX’s highly anticipated original artist album ‘On The Edge’ was released last month.

Ferry Corsten is one of the pioneers of the Dutch trance sound, propelling it into the clubbing consciousness and further into popular culture. He continues to innovate, remixing some of the world’s most enduring artists, including U2, The Killers, Moby and more. His fourth artist album, ‘WKND,’ is scheduled for release this month and includes “Brute,” a co-production with Armin van Buuren which ranked #1 for over 2 weeks in the trance charts on Beatport. Watch the original WKND videos, featuring behind the scenes footage, on YouTube.

Gareth Emery is one of the youngest DJs ever to crack to the top ten in DJ Mag’s Top 100 poll. His 2010 debut artist album ‘Northern Lights’ on his own label Garuda hit #1 on the US iTunes dance chart within hours of release. Emery launches himself into 2012 with his new single, “Concrete Angel,” which premiered on BBC Radio One and Sirius XM and was named by Armin van Buuren as 'Tune of the Week' on his popular radio show 'A State of Trance.' Watch the official music video on YouTube.

Hardwell’s international breakthrough came in 2009 with his “Show Me Love vs. Be” bootleg of Steve Angello and Laidback Luke’s track and Robin S’ classic. Since then, he has gone on to collaborate with TiĂ«sto on "Zero 76," and release "Cobra" (which premiered on MTV) and his latest "Spaceman."  Hardwell's tunes can also be heard every week on his radio show "Hardwell On Air" on Sirius XM's Electric Area. It’s no surprise that he landed at #24 in the DJ Mag Top 100 poll, and was recently nominated for an IDMA in the ‘Best Breakthough DJ’ category and also named an ‘EDM Rookie To Watch’ by MTV. Watch his 2011 Yearmix on YouTube.

Nicky Romero entered the global music scene with his first release, a remake of Groove Armada's "My Friend." He has gone on to earn three top ten consecutive listings on the Beatport Top 100 for overall downloads with "Camorra" (on Calvin Harris' label Fly Eye), "Toulouse," (on Spinnin' Records) and most recently "Generation 303" (on Tiesto's label Musical Freedom). His remix of Kelly Clarkson's "What Doesn't Kill You makes you Stronger," new single Jack Back ft David Guetta, Nicky Romero and Sia "Wild One Two," both drop February 14, and his mix for Madonna's track "Give Me All Your Luvin," is soon to be released. Romero was voted 'Best Remixer' by Only for DJ's magazine, as well as MTV naming him 'EDM Rookie To Watch in 2012.' He will be launching his own imprint  and new radio show on Slam FM, as well as on Sirius XM this year.  Check out his Soundcloud.

Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano are an energetic Dutch twosome who match soulful vocals with deep and funky house and hints of South American percussion pervading tribal influences.  Axwell refers to them as the Dutch version of SHM and their tour diary is stacked with headlining appearances at festivals throughout the world. MTV tapped them for house DJ duties for their 2012 NYE live broadcast from Times Square and they are the current ‘Residents of the Month’ on SiriusXM. Massive releases like their remake of Tiesto’s “Lethal Industry,” along with their chart topping hits “Tribeca” and “Markuzza” have dominated dancefloors on every continent and have invoked universal support from EDM’s most respected stars.

Mat Zo Embarks On His Biggest Tour of North America To Coincide with 'The Bipolar EP' Out On February 13 [TOUR]

Mat Zo Embarks On His Biggest Tour of North America
10-Dates To Coincide with 'The Bipolar EP'
(Anjunabeats / February 13)

'The Bipolar EP' Preview - Listen here
Mat Zo's Bipolar Promo Mix - Listen here 

 
Mat Zo at Trance Around The World 400 in Beirut #TATW400


With his diverse four-track 'The Bipolar EP'  priming itself for release, Anjunabeats rising star Mat Zo is embarking on his biggest tour of North America yet - including dates at San Francisco's Ruby Skye, Toronto's Guvernment, Denver's Beta and Chicago's Sound Bar. The 10-date tour will come to an end at Above & Beyond's Group Therapy Miami party on Bayfront Park, site of the Ultra Music Festival, on Thursday, March 22 alongside Above & Beyond, Arty, Boom Jinx and Jaytech [#GroupTherapyMiami].

With Skrillex, Axwell, Radio 1 and MTV Dance all supporting his recent anthem "Mozart" (with Arty), the fast rising Mat Zo returns with an eclectic four-track blast of his innovative talents - each track a distinct dancefloor juggernaut in its own right.

With recent eclectic sets at events like the Bugged Out! Weekender and his drum & bass material as MRZO and MRSA for Hospital Records supported by the likes of Camo & Crooked, Zo is fast asserting himself as unique electronic talent; something 'The Bipolar EP' reinforces further by blending influences as varied as Daft Punk, Diplo, Deadmau5 and even classic US house and twisting them into bold big room sounds. 

Surging the raw funk of Daft Punk at their punkiest against the deeply musical strains that Zo is renowned for, the lead track "Bipolar" lives up to its name by flitting between clicky grooves, electro synth stabs and subtle melodic waves in devastating dancefloor fashion.

A homage to Mat's love of classic dance across the 90s and early noughties, "It's Yours" is as inventive take on Jon Cutler & E-Man's funky house classic "It's Yours". Already a big room anthem from Mat's recent sets at Bugged Out! Weekender and TATW400 in Beirut, "It's Yours" builds waves of infectious melodic funk into a climatic drop.

A bridge between the carnival sounds of acts like Diplo and Major Lazer and the stadium filling trance world, "Ring On It" is an experimental bleep and bass-heavy explosion of carnival vibes - built around a subtle but undeniably epic riff.

Named after the world famous cellist, closing track "Yoyo Ma" is a driving melodic tech odyssey that draws influences from Eric Prydz's most epic Pryda work, big room techno and the classier end of trance.

Celebrating the 'The Bipolar EP,' Mat has also released an hour long mix of progressive grooves, quirky mash-ups and the innovative tracks from EP itself.

Jay-Z and Kanye West release "Ni**as In Paris" Music Video [WORLD PREMIERE]

in affiliation with
present
"Ni**as In Paris" 
The Official Music Video
On their Watch The Throne tour last year, Jay-Z and Kanye West became notorious for performing their triumphant banger “Niggas In Paris” over and over, as many as 10 times. Now one of last year’s greatest singles finally has a video, and it centers almost entirely around those live shows, with Jay and Kanye rocking a huge crowd that seems to mostly consist of models. The quick edits and laser-lights are so relentless that the video comes with an epilepsy warning, and the repeated use of lion-roars is just awesome. Watch it below. - StereoGum





Chris Lake New Single “Build Up” + Upcoming Tour Dates [MUSIC]




Chris Lake New Single “Build Up”
From His Highly Anticipated New Album
Upcoming Tour Dates
including Ultra Music Festival

Chris Lake - Build Up (Ultra Records) OFFICIAL TEASER




Following the success of his debut single for Ultra Music, Chris Lake returns with "Build Up," the follow-up to “Sundown” and the second single to be taken from his forthcoming album for the label.

Build Up” epitomizes exactly why Chris Lake has been garnering so much attention of late with his huge house sound. Opening on a clipped rhythm and taut arpeggios, the distorted synth swathes open up the track as it breaks down letting the gorgeous vocal from GiTA float through the mix. Continuing to build layers of percussion and color, the lead synths burst through the track as the drum line kicks back in and the side-chained bass swells through the low end, giving it a powerful and expansive energy that is guaranteed to cause an impact on the dance floor.

Tommy Trash joins in the action with his edit. Keeping true to the vibe of the original, he pares back the synth lines allowing the streamlined rhythm and gritty bass tones to strike through the mix. Eventually he unleashes those synths in a flurry of color and re-ignited vigor, kicking things up a gear to play out the track.

Pete Tong, a lasting champion of Lake's music, aired the track on his Radio 1 show on Friday, and the track has been getting support from Tiesto, David Guetta, Avicii, Andi Durrant, Norman Doray & Arno Cost to name a few.

In the US, Chris has two Billboard Dance Airplay #1’s under his belt, and “Build Up” shows already signs of being the third.

Jaytech : Anjundeep 04 Mini-Mix



With the past two editions both hitting #1 in the iTunes Dance Albums Chart, Anjunadeep 04 mixed by Jaytech and James Grant arrives with the label in better health than ever before - as evidenced by a recent DJ Mag nomination for 'Best British Record Label'.

The last 12 months has seen the Above & Beyond imprint unveil one of house music's hottest new talents in Dusky, whose album 'Stick By This' has been acclaimed by everyone from DJ Mag ("an intoxicating album full of life and flashes of brilliance ****") to Pete Tong - with Tong naming it as one of his favourite albums of the year - while other Anjunadeep artists such as Matt Lange and Andrew Bayer on the label have blossomed, the former being described by BBC Radio 1’s Zane Lowe as "the new Deadmau5" and the latter's 'It's Artificial' LP winning plaudits from Lowe again and even day Radio 1 host Nick Grimshaw.

Showcasing tracks and remixes from acts like Dusky, Tom Middleton, Maceo Plex, Vincenzo, Solarity and Andrew Bayer, 'Anjunadeep04' mixed by Jaytech & James Grant is the latest showcase of the label’s evolution; a 28 track journey through deep house, immersive melodic grooves and modern progressive.

Representing the deeper, more house-influenced end of Anjunadeep’s increasingly wide spectrum, label A&R James Grant effortlessly combines warm Maceo Plex'esque electronics, classic deep house vibes (Dusky “Lost Highway”), low-bass grooves (Tom Middleton’s Liquatech Mix of Paronator “No Gravity”) and the melodic house sound in which Anjunadeep has made its name.

Grant also contributes three remixes to the mix in collaboration with Andrew Bayer and acknowledges the key role played by Bayer in achieving the desired sound for CD1: "We had a clear vision for where we wanted the mix to head and Andrew really helped me realise that in this mix," says Grant.

Taking time out from finishing his highly anticipated second artist album, Australian Anjunadeep star Jaytech picks up the baton and pursues the more upbeat side of the label’s sound. From the future disco synths of Suspect 44’s “Neon Feel” to the melodic big room tech of Soundprank’s “Boundless Energy”, the Australian lays down a masterclass in modern progressive. Bringing things to an emphatic climax, Jaytech’s own “Atlantic” is the perfect embodiment of the musicality and class sewn into the mix.

To celebrate the upcoming release of 'Anjunadeep 04', James Grant and Jaytech have each mixed a 15 minute mini-mix of their respective CDs:

Axwell - In My Mind [MUSIC]



Axwell is easily my favorite artist from the Swedish supergroup, Swedish House Mafia. Pete Tong previewed Axwell's new remix of Ivan Gough & Feenixpawl ft. Gregori Kay- In My Mind, and this track is huge. Today the track hit the number 2 spot on Beatport! As this track rises to the top of the charts, keep a look out for this one all you Ultra and Masquerade Motel goers in Miami this year.

Above and Beyond Announce #GroupTherapyMiami with Arty, Mat Zo, Jaytech and Boom Jinx - March 22 [NEWS]

Miami Events

Above & Beyond 
 
with Arty, Mat Zo, Jaytech and Boom Jinx

Miami Music Week 2012
Thursday, March 22nd
Bayfront Park Amphitheatre


Paavo Siljamäki, Tony McGuinness, and Jono Grant


Above & Beyond are bringing the Group Therapy experience to Miami Music Week 2012 with a special event at the legendary Bayfront Park Amphitheatre on Thursday March 22.

Joining Above & Beyond will be an all-star quartet of producers from their scene-leading Anjunabeats label - Mat Zo, Arty, Jaytech and Boom Jinx. Covering the full spectrum of the Anjunabeats sound, the event runs from 5pm to 11pm EST.

21 year old Arty should need no introduction having taken the trance and house worlds by storm in the past 18 months - melding them together in a way not seen before. 2011 saw him rise to #25 in the DJMag Top 100 poll, collaborate with Dirty South, perform NYE in New York City for a sold-out crowd of 10,000 revelers, plus gain support from the likes of Above & Beyond, Armin van Buuren, Swedish House Mafia, and of course, Avicii.

Next to take on Miami is Anjunabeats' very own '"Superman" Mat Zo, also just 21 years of age.  He has consistently cemented a reputation as one of the label's most prolific, innovative and forward-thinking artists - with recent hits including "Bipolar", the Skrillex-supported "Mozart" (with Arty) and "Superman" itself. The only man to top the Beatport trance and drum & bass charts simultaneously, Zo is currently working on his hugely anticipated debut artist album, which is primed to showcase his maverick talents in full effect.

Having topped the iTunes Dance Album Chart for two years running with his Anjunadeep 02 & 03 compilations, rising Australian DJ Jaytech is again mixing Anjunadeep 04 this coming February and has a new artist album planned for the summer. Jaytech is a man on a mission and the perfect choice to warm up a buzzing #GroupTherapyMiami crowd.

Finally, also joining this colossal Group Therapy Miami line up is Norwegian uber-producer Boom Jinx, one of Anjunabeats' most talented, prolific and eclectic artists, with recent work ranging from the massive vocal trance anthem "Phoenix From The Flames" to deep progressive gem "Pieces Of The Puzzle" with Soundprank.

Above & Beyond's Group Therapy show is centered around their critically acclaimed second artist album ("the biggest artist album of the year" - Mixmag), which features Billboard Dance hits like “Sun & Moon” and “Thing Called Love” - as well as their forthcoming single "Love Is Not Enough". The show’s production takes the DJ set up into the realm of concert theatre, with emotive visuals, live video messaging from the band and a story-telling theme, combining to create a unique dancefloor experience for fans.

Check out the teaser of the emotional, cinematic official music video for "Love Is Not Enough" here.

Above & Beyond and their Anjunabeats label have also been nominated for a host of awards in the IDMA Final Ballot - which will be announced during Miami music week. Above & Beyond have been nominated for Best European DJ and Best Artist (Group), with their huge "Sun & Moon" anthem in the Best Trance Track category and Anjunabeats in the Best Label category. Completing their nominations is Trance Around The World, which is in the running for the Best Radio Mix Show. You can vote here.

The #GroupTherapyMiami event forms part of the Ultra Live series. Tickets are on sale here.

Above & Beyond is currently on the road for Part 1 of their Group Therapy North American Tour. Group Therapy Part 2 coming May & June 2012 – Dates To Be Announced! Check www.aboveandbeyond.nu for updates.
