  • DJ at Markus Saarländer
    Jun 2005 - Present · 21 yrs 2 mos

    Markus Saarländer exemplifies and expands one of the main roles of the DJ: bringing beautiful music to those who love it. He does this not only through his DJ sets, but through his renowned Berlin - Brighton events in Brighton, and most recently with his label Dino Audio. Having played around the UK, Europe, and the beaches of Ibiza, he established a home in Brighton which led to residencies for Hed Kandi, as well as almost all well-known club venues in the city, boat parties, pride, pop up events and more. Beyond creating an impact as a DJ, his aim to “bring the German underground to Brightonians everywhere”, has led to years of stand-out events that capture the lighthearted, community driven, love-filled spirit of the Underground. While some DJs and promoters might take themselves a little too seriously, Markus radiates with fun and humour, and it’s obvious that his mission for the music is not to put himself in the spotlight, but to focus on the power of the music itself. With his show Rainbow Frequencies on friskyRadio and his fortnightly 'Berlin Radio Show' on 1BTN Brighton, he has the opportunity to bring that focus to the rest of the world, showcasing the emotional, deep, soul-reaching music that has been inspiring him for so long. Markus has been featured in multiple magazines and articles such as Decoded Magazine, DJ Mag, Frisky Radio, BN1, XYZ, Native FM and After Dark with numerous guest mixes including Pioneer DJ Radio and a recent appearance on Berlin's Radio Fritz. Other highlights have included support at the Arch for Groove Armada, Booka Shade and John 00 Fleming's JOOF Editions shows. In addition, Markus has shared the stage and warmed up for some of the biggest names in the business such as John Digweed, Timo Maas, Tiefschwarz, Leftfield, Danny Rampling, Einmusik, Rebekah, Juliet Fox, Dave Seaman, Thomas Schumacher, Emanuel Satie, Jonas Saalbach and many more.
