Smokingroove, originally comprising of brothers Monsafe &
Marko, cut their teeth on the mid 90s London underground pirate
radio scene at legendary stations including Freek FM, Unknown,
House FM and quickly built a name for themselves on dancefloors
across the city with their own brand of bumping Chicago-fused house
music. As two wise chemically-enhanced men once said, ‘The brothers
gonna work it out’ and it’s an adage that the two took to heart as
they became one of the most in-demand production and DJ duos
around. With over 160 releases over the last two decades, they’ve
proven their ability to maintain a position in the international DJ
scene. When Marko moved to Dubai in 2007, Monsafe carried on
playing across Europe while Marko solidified a new base in the
Middle East with the launch of a then-new 5000 capacity venue that
could be seen from Space named ‘Nasimi beach’ at the Atlantis hotel
on the Palm. Not only did they turn a once unremarkable patch of
sand into a consistently sold-out clubbing location thanks to a
sound-storm of beats and bass, they were instrumental in musically
setting up all the 16,000+ capacity Sandance events and played
alongside (and often closed for) Faithless, Florence & the
machine, Jamiroquai, David Guetta, Avicii, Fatboy Slim, Chic,
Frankie Knuckles, Steve Lawler, Roger Sanchez, Derrick Carter,
Armand Van-Helden, Basement Jaxx and many, many more. Smokingroove
have since won just about every award in the region and have become
a name representing great music on a global scale. Alongside that,
Smokingroove opened at the recent 'Unite with Tomorrowland', had
multiple appearances at Creamfields, toured Europe and have built
up a long-standing reputation for great underground music. In 2018
Smokingroove became the Music Curator for the popular global brand,
W Hotel with a new location on Palm Jumeirah in Dubai. The weekly
radio show is currently syndicated to over 40 radio stations around
the world with a weekly listenership in over 60 countries and sees
the duo going back to their roots, making people dance around the
world to their own flavour of what’s hot in the underground House
music scene.
