Pacha NYC proudly presents
Toolroom Knights NYC

Pacha NYC proudly presents the Toolroom Knights 1 Year Anniversary with resident DJ Mark Knight on Friday, February 26^th, 2010.

My how time flies… and what an eventful 12 months it’s been since Toolroom Knights first rolled into the city, ready to launch their Pacha NYC residency last February.  Over the past year we’ve partied without pants, hit the dance floor with fake moustaches, celebrated the launch of Mark’s Toolroom Knights album, pulled out all the stops for his birthday bash, not to mention all the amazing talent brought in from far and wide and, of course, Mark’s marathon main-room sets.

The parties have been a real success, with Mark Knight bringing fresh, forward thinking music to the dance floor and injecting a much-needed dose of fun into Friday night New York City clubbing. Now it’s time to celebrate Toolroom Knights’ 1^st anniversary with a 5 hour audio assault courtesy of the main man himself.   2009 was another stellar year for Mark.  He picked up a Grammy nomination for production work on the Black Eyed Peas’ multi-platinum album ‘The E.N.D’, stormed Beatport’s 2009 best seller list with 3 of the year’s most popular tracks; “Good Times”, “Music Matters”(One of DJtunez.net Top 10 Tunez of 2009), “Flauta Magica”.

Recently he also picked up IDMA nominations for Best Global Radio Show for his weekly Toolroom Knights radio show and his Toolroom Records is in contention for Best Global Label.  All in all it’s been a big year for Mark Knight & Toolroom.  They continue to pioneer a sound and attitude that’s gained respect from fans and industry people alike, hungry for the integrity of the label’s production skills and the quality of their parties.

5- Re-Ward – Black Jack

Sorry, I cant think of any producer that can bring such energetic tracks on a consistent basis. Hands down one of our favorite producers at the time.

4- Faithless Ft. Cass Fox – Music Matters(Mark Knight Remix)

Faithless always brings out amazing/meaningful music, this is no different, and the Mark Knight remix is sex.

3- John O’Callaghan Ft. Sarah Howells – Find Yourself (Cosmic Gate Remix)

John O’Callaghan really put himself on the map with the release of “Big Sky” and hasn’t looked back since.

2- Oceanlab – On A Good Day (16 Bit Lolitas Downbeat Mix)
Probably the most beautiful track of 2009 so far.

AND OUR FAVORITE TRACK SO FAR IN 2009….
