Massive thanks to everyone who’s been bigging up the lineups and also the debut Murkage track ‘In The Jungle’! We’re feeling good about coming back for you lot right about now.. Not only that, but we have a brand new home at SOUTH NIGHTCLUB, which is being refurbished by the guys who are behind Digital in Brighton and Newcastle, as well as FAC251 here in Manchester!

When finished the club will be state of the art with one of the best funktion 1 sound systems in the city and a fully covered roof terrace bar! The opening few weeks will perhaps be the most exciting in the whole refurb process as you can see first hand the club being broken down and built back up into Murkage’s new underground home!

Now... Let's get down to business, kicking off with the Fresher’s Fiasco this coming Thursday 23rd September. We’re very proud to have one of our favourite Djs in the WORLD, Martelo, blessing us with what will no doubt be a legendary set. Accompanied by a gang of Murkage Cartel residents who are all raring to go; and a crowd that have been eagerly awaiting the return of Murkage, you just know it’s about to go down!!


MARTELO

Like most people that move around a lot as a child, martelo sees the world with wide eyes and takes influence from all aspects of life. growing up on bill withers, stevie wonder, michael jackson and paul simon, his teenage years saw him delve into everything from punk and grunge to drum 'n' bass, garage and hip hop; an eclectic array of music that has no doubt had an influence on his music taste and dj/production style.

"I guess I play world music, but not the snobby stuff. hood music from the global underground.. from the favelas to the projects to the tower blocks"

Martelo was grafting on the sony/bmg street team and djing on promo tours for justin timberlake, 50 cent, dmx and destiny's child as well as holding down a weekly residency at ministry of sound and two shows on pirate stations freeze and bassline all by the age of 20.

In the years since then he has become known as part of the yoyo family who consistently blow the roof off any party they throw, with martelo being an ever-present on these memorable occasions. he has been the international tour dj for santigold since 2007, as recommended by diplo, and has played festivals all over the planet from coachella (la) to summersonic (japan) to field day (aus) right back to glastonbury (england).

Last year alone he was asked to open up for jay-z twice and was said to be a major highlight at 2009's exit fetsival in serbia. he is also part of "the end of the world" with toddla t and oneman, they toured europe in 2009 and look set to repeat that in 2011.
