Sitting in for Luke Brancaccio we have our good friend and Berlin-Brighton founder Markus Saarländer. Berlin-Brighton started in 2014 with the simple aim of bringing a slice of Berlin to the city of Brighton by showcasing underground sounds from multiple genres not just Techno. Berlin has become one of Brighton’s most respected club nights with many collaborations, pop-up parties, two radio shows and of course the famous seafront beach terrace parties.
Prior to Brighton, Markus learned his trade in Ibiza on the sunset strip, perfecting his vibe and warm up sets. Markus has also made numerous appearances on radio shows, festivals & club nights across the country as well as in Barcelona and Germany including support duties for John Digweed at Concorde2 as well as starting a new Brighton based record label called Dino Audio.
Other recent highlights have included support at the Arch for Groove Armada and Berlin being the official partner for Waze & Odyssey’s Street Tracks series. Not only that Markus has shared the stage with some of the biggest names in the business such as Timo Maas, Dave Seaman, Alex Niggemann, Kellerkind, Thomas Schumacher, Nhan Solo, Superlover, Just Her, Timo Garcia, Juliet Sikora, Danny Rampling, Leftfield, Emanuel Satie, Cinthie, Daniel Steinberg, Jeremy Underground, Jonas Saalbach, Teenage Mutants, Tigerskin, BAAL and many more.
In June 2018 Markus also featured as the artist of the month for global underground music station friskyRadio, which has led to Markus starting is new Radio show ‘Rainbow Frequencies’ which aired on 12 November on the NYC based station, which is also the home of big hitters such as Sasha, Dave Seaman, Steve Lawler, Nick Warren and many more. Markus now hosts the show every second Monday 4pm EST, 9pm UK and 10pm CET. The show also reached no.2 in the global Frisky charts in February.
