Safe Smokingroove - Live @ Nobu Dubai - June 2014

As two wise Chemically enhanced men once said, ‘The brothers gonna work it out’.  It’s an adage the Smokingroove brothers - Safe and Marko - have taken to heart and we’re glad to have worked out getting them on the Gangstercast for episode 43.  

Starting off the main part of their career in their native home of London, they cut their teeth on the underground club scene in the 90s and their style of “deep, Chicago-flavored House music with a Jacking vibe” has seen them sign records to Roger Sanchez’s Stealth Records and DJ Sneak’s Magnetic Recordings, as well as penning a string of releases on their own Illuminati Recordings imprint.

Their love of House music has prevailed and they reflect, “[House music] is the spirit of clubs, the people we meet and the life we have. For a musical genre, it’s pretty special in that way.“

They’ve hosted radio shows for over 10 years and it’s perhaps on the DJ front that the brothers have made their biggest impact. With both Safe and Marko now based in Dubai, they hold down the most coveted residency in the Middle East at the much-copied but never bettered Nasimi Beach, and have played huge events such as Creamfields Abu Dhabi, Pete Tong’s Wonderland, El Divino Ibiza and Savannah Ibiza as well as countless legendary UK clubs.  More recently they have become brand ambassadors for Adidas Originals, New Era & Pioneer DJ and they have mixed the first in a series of Pacha Dubai CDs.

Episode 43 of the Gangstercast allows Smokingroove to flex their DJ muscles, as they explain, “Over the last 16 years, we’ve built our own mental-inventory of great records and music we honestly love and feel. The mix captures our love of the sound. This mix was recorded live so everything in there is pretty indicative of what we play. You’re getting the Smokingroove sound in this mix. This isn’t a practiced, studio set. Real deal, one-shot take.”

They add that the House Gangster movement is, “like a global clique of people who all vibe off the same music and mentality. House is a broad genre so this feels like membership to an exclusive global family within that. Real underground House music with a street-edge to it. A little something for everyone but keeping the beats correct and a definitive underground vibe.”

Marko Smokingroove - Live @ SG1 Studio

I recorded this at one of my many DJ sets at W Dubai The Palm on the Wet Deck. It was 42c and the humidity was at 63% but i wasn't about to stop playing because of a little old thing like heat. 

No, seriously, it was really f***ing hot. Even my personal AC unit wasn't cutting it at that point.

There's no tracklisting as i never plan what i'm going to play but this recording was just about the entire DJ set and felt right at the time.

Let me know if you liked it.

Smokingroove Recorded Live @ WET DECK, DUBAI - 05.09.20

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.
