How does it feel like when spending almost 5 hours with one of your music heroes?
24th of March 2019, Mark Archer was invited to play again over in Athens, thus he has returned stronger, in order to fulfill every desire for proper Oldskool rave, on a very emotional and energetic party organised by the local Greek oldskool team, Sunrise Zone.
Just before his appearance in Athens, I got the chance to spend many unforgettable hours with him. Chilling on a mini tour all around the central city, drinking Greek coffee, tasting local sweets and mainly...smiling a lot! It was fun!
And even though I had the chance to play alongside him on the first Unity In The Sun in 2017,(summer Oldskool festival based in Corfu/Greece); I didn't have the right time to get to know him.
And this time I gotta say that it all came beyond my expectations...
But aside all these... There's an Interview too!
Mark has opened his music life files, talking about the past, present and future of the iconic Rave legends Altern 8 and Nexus 21 as well as his eminent set @ Boiler Room, his regular BangFace appearances, his first time in Greece with Altern 8, the passing of Keith Flint from The Prodigy, onto his memoir and lots of more interesting stories in...!!
'The Man Behind The Mask Essential' is the brand new episode of #GLOWBUZZ paying homage to the 31 year old career of a humble, down to Earth and hard working father of Rave.
Mark is a living legend within the Rave scene and a man of integrity!
All in all, this is my proudest and most complete episode so far.
A good friend has just sent me a message saying "Man...you took me way back to good MTV shows".
This is a message that made me smile alongside with all the continuous feedback, support & love from YOU all...
Many hours of hard work and editing turned to become smileys and happiness.
This is the meaning of creating something for passion by passion.
This is the movement we love & represent.
This is a kinda expression to me...
Enjoy the show and as ever any feedback/comment/sharing would be much appreciated!
