INTRODUCING MARQUEE - THE STAR, SYDNEY
Internationally acclaimed nightclub operator Tao Group is set to bring a monumental change to Sydney’s nightlife landscape with the opening of Marquee - The Star, Sydney in late March 2012.
The new nightclub – the latest jewel in The Star’s $870 million redevelopment - will be overseen by experienced operators Noah Tepperberg, Rich Wolf, Louis Abin, Marc Packer and Jason Strauss, alongside a strong Sydney based team.
The Tao Group has been the force behind the world renowned TAO in New York and Las Vegas, LAVO New York and Las Vegas and Marquee Nightclub & Dayclub at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. The joint venture with The Star’s parent company, Echo Entertainment, will be the group’s first venture outside the United States.
Marquee - The Star, Sydney will be located on the entire top tier of The Star’s new Pirrama Road harbourside entrance, commanding expansive views of Sydney Harbour and the city skyline. With nearly 20,000 square feet of floor space, the venue is designed to house three distinct spaces within the one venue to cater for different tastes and moods.
The recently opened Marquee Nightclub & Dayclub at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas boasts an impressive roster of resident DJs, including Erick Morillo, Kaskade, Red Foo from LMFAO, DJ Chuckie and DJ Vice. Guests at the club’s grand opening party included A-list celebrities Jay Z, Beyonce, Chris Martin, Gwyneth Paltrow, Cameron Diaz, Rihanna, Kanye West, Mark Wahlberg and Blake Lively.
Noah Tepperberg, from Tao Group said:
“Our team is looking forward to bringing the Marquee brand to Sydney while creating a venue with a distinct Sydney style and personality. Its been great to see The Star unfold into an impressive casino and hotel, and now dining and entertainment complex, and we are excited to work with the talented Australian based team.“
Marquee – The Star, Sydney
Located on the entire top floor of The Star’s glass façade harbourside entrance, Marquee – The Star, Sydney will have a capacity of more than 1,200 people. Patrons will be able to transition between three lavish rooms and various music experiences.
The Main Room will feature a 30 foot projection stage with an LED DJ booth and two dance floors. In contrast, a stylish library-style room will offer an intimate lounge experience, accentuated by a working fireplace. Venturing further into the venue, club-goers will come across the Boom Box, with a separate DJ, state-of-the-art sound system and outdoor patio. There is also a chill-out area with unparalleled views of the Sydney skyline and a unisex “bathroom lounge”.
Furnished with dynamic and unique interiors, the venue will have a retail store and separate VIP entrance for quick entry from street level.
The Star
The Star has undergone an $870 million redevelopment and expansion and now offers more than 20 restaurants, bars and cafes, a new luxury boutique lifestyle hotel called The Darling, a 16 room day spa, a luxury retail collection, and upscaled gaming areas. David Chang, the Michelin-starred chef and owner of New York’s Momofuku, also opened his first venture outside of the US at The Star. Momofuku Seiōbo opened in October 2011 and has already found critical success with its innovative take on cuisine.
In the final installment of their remix series celebrating Starbreeze's re-envisioning of the classic video game 'Syndicate' this February 21st, EA Games is releasing an exclusive remix by the UK’s premiere dubstep duo Nero on the Syndicate Facebook Page. It is available now. Earlier releases by 3-time Grammy winner Skrillex, Digitalism, and Flux Pavilion are also available now.
NERO is North West London producers, remixers du jour, DJs and artists Dan Stephens and Joe Ray, who unleashed their #1 UK debut album 'Welcome Reality' stateside in December on Cherrytree/Interscope. With its thunderous bass, hail of house rhythms, lightning flashes of rave synths, and showers of guitar, the album “pulls dubstep toward the arena-pop spotlight without leaving its shadows behind,” as The New York Times put it in its review, while Billboard noted that Nero “comes off like a dubstep-powered pop band.”
Now one of the biggest names in both dubstep and drum & bass, Nero are gearing up for a triumphant return to the U.S. in March for their headlining “Second Reality” live tour with their singer Alana Watson, as well as eagerly awaited appearances at the Coachella Music & Arts Festival in April 2012.
With nominations from BBC’s Sound of 2011, XFM’s Sound of 2011, and Music Week’s Top 15, Nero have also won several awards including 2010's Beatport Awards for 'Best Dubstep Act' and 'Best Dubstep Track' for “Act Like you Know.” Nero have produced remixes for The Streets, La Roux, deadmau5, N*E*R*D and Daft Punk to name a few, and now for respected video game publisher EA Games.

The "Tale Of Us" Experience came into Brooklyn, New York without a Life and Death warning, as probably the most noted Snow storm/Blizzard we had this winter in the Northeastern Region this January.
The Tale End of this Winter warning of January 27th was a straight non-disclosure performance of a legacy in the making of "Tale Of Us" to come in NYC for those that attended; brought to us by the "Resolute" underground movement in a undisclosed warehouse for precautionary reasons :)
With Tale OF Us expect supersonic james bond 007 vision to pull your music mind together and super knocking elements of house and techno with influences from pop, nu-disco and ...even rock music.
With the Close out from Thugfucker it was quite a good-night into a melting good morning in the brooklyn streets.
