Autumn weekend: Narcotic Thrust on Friday and Mark Wilkinson on Saturday

Only a few DJs, hailing from the desert of South Australia, can be called successful, Andy Morris is one of them. Born in Sydney, Andy became a DJ while studying at the University. The money he earned from playing at student parties went towards tuition fees. Moving to London in 1991 gave a serious boost to his music career. He wrote articles for DJ Mag, worked as a promoter at clubs like Kinky Overdose and the Cafe De Paris, and also performed as a DJ there. He soon became a resident at the legendary Club UK and the Leisure Lounge. From that point on, Andy began to lay a solid foundation for the future. Initially, he made it into the top half of DJ MAG's annual TOP 100; then he was accepted into the 'inner circle' of global professionals as a producer of his own projects and as part of the 'Narcotic Trust' project. Released on Ffrr/Yoshitoshi, the Narcotic Trust single 'Safe From Harm' made it into the list of best singles in 2002 and became the first track on the Billboard chart. It also became the most played track on UK national radio station Radio 1, and the number 1 track in personal charts of DJs like Sanchez, Pete Tong, and Denni Tenaglia, and was recognized as an official club hit. As a solo producer, Andy Morris created a mix for the Hed Kandi compilation called 'Do 4 Love', as well as Chris Coco's 'Only Love' (Distinctive). He now has a weekly radio show about dance music on Kiss 100 FM's Late Night Session, airing from 2 to 4 am every Thursday, with online broadcasting as well. Andy's latest album, 'Parallels', released on Obsessive Records (which also features Danny Howells, Colin Dale, and Circulation), received wide acclaim in the British press, and was most popular among Russian DJs. Known as one of the most versatile DJs, he remains unmatched behind the turntables. He continues to travel the world as a DJ, from Israel to Mexico, regularly playing in London and Brighton, and is a resident at Lofthouse (Frankfurt, Germany). On April 22, FRIDAY, 'Autumn Project' presents DJ Andy Morris ('Narcotic Thrust') along with DJs Losev, Kat, and Korean. On April 23, SATURDAY, 'Bumblebee Flight' presents special guest DJ Mark Wilkinson ('Problem Kid’s' (UK)) along with DJs Mendes, Dan, Smash, and Lupin. Mark Wilkinson started DJing in 1990, and a year later began working at Flying Records, where he met his future partner Rocky from X-press 2. Together they formed the collective 'Problem Kids' and soon became regulars at Ministry of Sound. Following the release of their first acclaimed album 'Pump The Dirty Groove' in 1999 on Paper recordings, numerous singles and remixes followed for Black Science Orchestra, The Absolute & The Aloof, and others. In 2001, Mark Wilkinson set up his Kidsound label and assembled the Mark Kidstuff collective, which included Mark himself, Paul Jackson, and Kevin 'K-Boy' Brooks. Their first release, 'Alright', was played by Danny Tenaglia, Seb Fontaine, Roger Sanchez, Lottie, and was also in rotation on Radio 1. Since August 2001, Mark has been hosting weekly Kidsound parties at the Velvet Rooms club in London. The second Problem Kids album 'My First Acid House' was named the best British house album of the millennium and, according to DJ Magazine, is a shining example of what true house music should be.
