Weekly event launches Sunday, April 29,

COMMUNITY: America’s Largest Nightclub Operator To Launch New Venture: Marquee – The Star, Sydney [Australia]

arthurg — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 19:45:23 +0000

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 Seiōbo opened in October 2011 and has already found critical success with its innovative take on cuisine.

Mat Zo Embarks On His Biggest Tour of North America

10-Dates To Coincide with ‘The Bipolar EP’

(Anjunabeats / February 13)

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.

Marquee 2012 DJ Residencies

The Return of Above & Beyond, ATB, Benny Benassi, Chuckie, Dirty South, Erick Morillo, Kaskade, Markus Schulz and Redfoo

Marquee Nightclub & Dayclub is proud to announce the return of Above & Beyond, ATB, Benny Benassi, Chuckie, Dirty South, Erick Morillo, Kaskade, Markus Schulz and Redfoo for exclusive residencies in 2012. In just the last year, Marquee has established itself as the number one destination for the world’s premier electronic music talent, putting Las Vegas on the map as the “New Ibiza,” according to MTV News. Marquee continues to take clubbing to the next level with its larger-than-life 40-foot LED DJ booth, dazzling custom visuals, state-of-the-art sound system with 32,000-watt subwoofers, and beautifully costumed dancers. To top it off, 2012 sees all new, custom visual programming. The initial line-up of residents is just a hint of what is in store and club goers can expect more exciting announcements and additional headliners throughout Marquee’s second year.

In alphabetical order:

Above & Beyond, UK’s most popular DJ/producer collective, return to Marquee on January 21 as part of their North American tour supporting their critically acclaimed second artist album ‘Group Therapy,’ which features Billboard dance chart hits like “Sun & Moon” and “Thing Called Love,” and was named “the biggest artist album of the year” by Mixmag. “We can’t wait to return in 2012 for our residency at Marquee Las Vegas. It’s one of our favourite clubs in the world to play and we always have an incredible time.” [Tony McGuinness, Above and Beyond]

ATB’s latest album ‘Distant Earth’ featured the likes of Armin van Buuren and Dash Berlin. Well known for his single “9PM (Till I Come)” and also his eight studio albums, six ‘in the mix’ compilations, his ‘Sunset Beach DJ Session’ compilation and a total of four DVDs, he has established himself as one of the decade’s most important international electronic music artists.

Benny Benassi, who won the 2008 Grammy Award for Best Dance Remix, continues to dominate the electronic music world with his 2011 album ‘Electroman,’ which features the hits “Spaceship” with Kelis, “Beautiful People” with Chris Brown and “Cinema” (feat Gary Go), remixed by Skrillex. He kicks off his Marquee residency on February 18.

Chuckie, the King of Dirty Dutch, brings Amsterdam’s daring, sophisticated and sexy style back to Marquee for another year starting January 13. Named one of “The Dance Music Producers of the Moment” by Rolling Stone, Chuckie recently released the ‘Dirty Dutch Blackout’ compilation featuring his new hit “What Happens in Vegas.”

Dirty South, who has earned “Essential New Tune” labels by Pete Tong and Grammy Award nominations in Best Remix for Kaskade’s “Sorry” and The Temper Trap’s “Sweet Disposition” (with Axwell), brings his signature dark house sound back to Marquee on January 6.

Erick Morillo’s Subliminal Sessions residency inaugurated the dancefloor at Marquee one year ago and has brought a packed house ever since. He recently launched a new project, SYMPHO NYMPHO, with house production legends Harry ‘Choo Choo’ Romero and Jose Nunez. Their album drops in March 2012, featuring guest performances from Wyclef Jean, Pitbull, Busta Rhymes, Dizzee Rascal and more.

Kaskade was recently voted “America’s Best DJ” in DJ Times, finishing a year that also saw a legendary BBC Essential Mix and the release of his seventh studio album, the double CD ‘Fire & Ice,’ featuring Skrillex, Dada Life, Skylar Grey and more. His 2012 residency kicks off on January 14.

Markus Schulz returns to his Marquee residency after a consistently wowing the crowd with his fusion of progressive, house and trance into an inimitable hybrid sound last year. Summer saw this DJ Mag Top 10 DJ release ‘Thoughts Become Things II’ under his alter-ego Dakota, which explores a darker, most devoutly club sound. While the original earned an Album of the Month award from Mixmag, Markus recently followed up with ‘Thoughts Become Things II: The Remixes’ with reworks from Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano and more.

Redfoo’s raucous, no-holds barred Party Rock Mondays residency returns for 2012. Redfoo, one of dance music’s preeminent talents and son of Motown legend Berry Gordy, has taken the electronic dance music scene by storm, both through his solo DJ gigs and as part of the prolific LMFAO. Redfoo has established himself as a one of the globe’s preeminent party DJs, while LMFAO’s “Sexy and I Know It” hit #1 on the Billboard Hot Digital Songs, Top 10 for Billboard Dance Club Songs and iTunes Top 10 Songs charts.
