Smokingroove
Smokingroove first cut his teeth on the mid 90s London underground pirate radio scene and quickly built a name for himself on dancefloors across the world with his 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 Safe & his brother took to heart as they became one of the most in-demand production and DJ duos around. With over 180 releases over the last two decades, they’ve proven their ability to maintain a position in the international DJ scene.
When Monsafe moved to Dubai in 2011, he solidified a new base in the Middle East with Marko for the launch of a then-new 5000 capacity venue that could be seen from Space named ‘Nasimi beach’ at Atlantis on Palm Jumeirah.
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 has since won just about every award in the region and has become a name representing great music on a global scale.
Alongside that, Smokingroove played ‘Unite with Tomorrowland’, had multiple appearances at Creamfields, toured globally and has built up a long-standing reputation for great underground music.
His weekly radio show is currently syndicated to over 45 radio stations around the world with a weekly streaming listenership in over 60 countries and sees Monsafe going back to his roots, making people dance around the world to his own flavour of what’s hot in the underground House music scene.
