The Low End Specialists in the City

In the year 2000, two close friends from New York, Mac Clark and Ali Geramian, realized that they both shared a passion for house music. It can be said that it was from this historical moment that the project The Low End Specialists was born. On the New York club scene, Mac and Ali emerged as well-known DJs and producers, strongly influenced by masters like Danny Tenaglia and Junior Vasquez.
The real breakthrough for the guys occurred in 2001 when their widely advertised remix of the tribal house classic 'So Get Up' by Underground Sound of Lisbon was released. This record on Kaos Records paved the way for the musicians into the closed club of the world’s best DJs, as well as ensured their participation in the legendary John Digweed's show on Kiss FM and inclusion in the compilation Global Grooves by DJ Vibe. And it went on from there. The Low End Specialists signed a contract to release their first single on the Hydrogen Records label owned by Dirty Vegas. The work immediately made its way into the WMC Essential Mix by Sasha & Digweed, as well as many charts compiled by prominent DJs like Pete Tong and Deep Dish. Then came the hit breakthrough at WMC 2002, which essentially marked the culmination of their conquest of the global dance scene.
In the summer of 2002, Mac and Ali received residency at one of the best nightclubs in the Big Apple - Centro-Fly, the home of legendary Erick Morillo, Roger Sanchez, and The Chemical Brothers. Meanwhile, this easy job offered the friends two opportunities that could not be missed: not only to present their names but also to launch their own parties on the stage of one of the most significant night establishments in North America. At the weekly musical mysteries, Mac and Ali honed their signature sound - the LES sound, which combined with top-notch guests like John Digweed, Carl Cox, Seb Fontaine, DJ Vibe, and Satoshi Tomiie stirred public opinion every Thursday. It is clear that such heavy artillery could only help The Low End Specialists firmly establish themselves as the best on the global dance arena, while Centro-Fly won the Club of the Year award at the Dance Star and BPM Magazine ceremonies in 2003.
Naturally, with significant experience and noteworthy achievements, Mac and Ali tirelessly tour the world, driving the patrons of discos like Stereo in Montreal; Pacha (Portugal and Budapest); Privilege in Ibiza; Club Q in Switzerland; Ruby Skye and 1015 (San Francisco); Spundae (Los Angeles and Chicago); Avalon (Los Angeles); Yellow in Tokyo; Bedroc in the UK; and Godskitchen in Las Vegas and Toronto crazy. Let's not forget that as guest stars, the guys willingly appear behind the DJ booth in possibly the most legendary New York club Vinyl/Arc, for which they are immensely grateful to the party founder Danny Tenaglia.
After the phenomenal commercial success of their remix of Janet Jackson's work, which reached the number one position on the Hot Dance/Club Play charts on Billboard, The Low End Specialists launched a couple more hits – also remixes of Juliet's tracks 'Avalon' and 'Ride the Pain,' both releases are awaiting release on Virgin Records. Their own new single titled 'Power Station,' set to be released on the British record label Toolroom Records, has already received massive support from John Digweed and Hernan Cattaneo; furthermore, the track was included in the OS3 compilation by Bedrock. Currently, Mac and Ali are working on a series of remixes for EMI & Atlantic artists, as well as on their own original material, which they will present at the Winter Music Conference 2005.
Despite the tight studio schedule, the guys pay special attention to touring, covering cities in North and South America and Europe.
The Low End Specialists is a New York duo consisting of Mac Clark and Ali Geramian. In the conquest of various charts, they never stop for a moment. They receive powerful support from underground giants like Danny Tenaglia, John Digweed, Sander Kleinenberg, John Creamer, DJ Vibe, Deep Dish, and Danny Howells. Thanks to Mac's consistent participation in the Be Yourself parties produced by Danny Tenaglia, the guys have had the opportunity to hold their own parties at Centro-Fly for a year, and later, following the closure of both Centro-Fly and Arc, to secure a regular gig at Spirit, Cielo, and Crobar.
At the moment, Mac and Ali have produced works for the labels Virgin, Astralworks, Yoshitoshi, Choo Choo, Bedrock, Alola, Little Mountain, Pipeline, Hydrogen, and Kaos Records, as well as remixes for Steve Lawler, Danny Tenaglia, and Janet Jackson. These two manage not only to work in the studio but also to embark on tours across cities in both Americas and abroad.
