If I had to pigeonhole Mark John as a Transformer then he would be Frenzy; that’s because he seems to be doing everything at double speed once he’s unleashed on the decks. Returning to The Bedroom on the wave of rave reviews from his last appearance, Mark brought a new set with a preview of something you will want to be loading onto your MP3 player at the very least. Getting a preview of some of his upcoming releases with the first single due for release in about two weeks, it was a concoction of well know tracks blown to pieces then re-amalgamated in a way that words can’t even describe.
One of the standout was Mark’s reworking of believe it or not, Are You Going My Way by Lenny Kravitz, with what seemed to two other beat tracks behind it, the final product along with his work of the effects is the best version of the track on the planet. And it had punters throughout The Bedroom stomping the floor to pieces. Always the technician, Mark’s set had him refining the sound nonstop and constant tweaks on the mixer, which added to the overall class act we got to hear.
With some devastatingly dark tracks, the intensity towards the close of Mark’s set thickened and some were seen through the smoke to be having a hard time keeping up. White label house mashes of We Run This by Missy Elliot vs Bring The Noise by Public Enemy and more, were bringing the old and the not so old tracks together for one all pleasing set.
With a truly psychotic finale, punters were in a daze in the aftermath of Mark’s performance. There is a real Sunday surge on in Surfers Paradise over the last two months, as it’s become the day for serious punters to head out and hear some serious music, with big numbers of our brothers and sisters from Brisbane floating down to check it out too. The talent on offer has been so damn good, they have all left their mark on me and the Gold Coast massive that heads out to catch them. Here’s to many more rocking Sundays!
