BLARK ABSOLUTE EUPHORIA

music sounds better with YOU musik ist das Frequency ! 1l0Ve

A nostalgic late 90's/early noughties raver,  love underground 90’s Hard Trance, Techno, Trance, Deep House, Dark Wave and slammin' Hard House.

Still reminisce fondly about Provocation (run by Frantic/Convergence) -  Office Bar, London, 6am Sunday start! Nothing better than Spencer Freeland and Phil Reynolds B2B, surrounded by the most crazy and broad minded crowd in the world!

I started off with a controller after a weekend where I'd heard Acid Ska for the first time, I got this want to show the world this and Acid Techno that I had fallen in love with in London. 

I had played at a free party and a shebeen but had been watching people spin vinyl for years and I loved it I then set out to get turntables and vinyl. 

I got a set of old kam direct drives around eight years ago and played vinyl in Belfast and Dublin getting to share my favourite tunes over the floor through swanky fat rigs.

Our old collective now disbanded (BTribal) put on a few nights in 2016 and smashed 2017 with all sorts of Acid, Tekno and Techno alongside DnB, Jungle and much more, especially at our biggest event UMAD which was a festival that hosted over 125 People over two days in the beautiful hills of outback Ireland. We had our own radio station over @ www.BTribal.Eu we hosted shows on it having had Biri, Nesbit, Tiddles, Jula, Acid Steve, Nigel Keane, Tik Tok, Paul the hat, Sted Helvis, Phil Devious and so many many more! It also acted as a hub for the underground scene, promoting parties with a chat section for the radio.

After a 5 year break I've gotten turntables now in 2023 and I'm ready to blast out the Acid!

Brisboys was founded in 2008 by John Manning and the late Ciaran Duffy, two long-standing Northern Irish DJs whose paths crossed unexpectedly in Brisbane, Australia. With over a decade of experience each and a shared passion for house music, the pair quickly formed a creative partnership and launched Brisboys upon returning home.

After Ciaran’s passing, John felt it was too soon to continue under the Brisboys name, choosing instead to step back and focus briefly on an alternative project Bemannte & Bruder. After taking four years away from the project, he has now revived Brisboys with renewed purpose, honouring the legacy he and Ciaran created together.

Their music has earned support from leading artists including Pete Tong, Richie Hawtin, Marco Carola, Maceo Plex, Dubfire, Paco Osuna, Stacey Pullen, Slam, Davide Squillace, Miss Nine, Jesse Voorn, Tom Novy, Betoko and many more.

Brisboys have also shared the stage with Jay Lumen, Fake Blood, Alex Cellar, Clive Henry, Simian Mobile Disco, Alex Arnout, and Mihai Popoviciu and many more.

DJing in his hometown of Belfast for close to 30 years, Blark AKA Blacky.  Seeing Carl Cox play at the legendary Vengeance raves in 1990s was where he first got bitten by the rave bug and hasn't looked back since. Some people say he’s actually been to more raves than Carl Cox has ;)

Alongside friend and fellow Cricky, they both started up the Cave nights in Belfast, bringing over acts like Pet Duo, Patrick DSP, Marco Bailey, Dan Ghenacia, Mark EG, James Ruskin to the city. It was through this the two started releasing music as Cave DJz, racking up almost 15 tracks to date. 

In more recent times, Blark has warmed up for some of the biggest names in techno and house played at festivals like Burning Man, Jika Jika, Life Festival, ifyouknow and AVA in Belfast. He’s also played in clubs all over Europe, including a lengthy stay in Ibiza, Griessmuehle in Berlin and Corsica Studios in London.

I’m a 100% music addict, any spare time I’m listening to Anything dance orientated but not psy. Trance and hardstyle are my favourites though especially the classic stuff.
