[Mark Fanciulli](https://www.facebook.com/markfanciullidj?fref=ts) is one of modern electronic music’s most complete artists. An innovative and forward thinking producer whose dexterity and creativity behind the decks have made him a much desired DJ around the world. With a strong work ethic and a clear and determined vision for the future, it has been no surprise to see Mark climb the ranks as quickly and with as much humility as he has managed since his 2011 debut.

It was that debut that got Mark’s solo career off to the perfect start. ‘The Tide’ was signed up to Joris Voorn’s Rejected imprint and went on to be the biggest track of summer 2011. Quite an induction, but not a wholly unexpected one when you consider the technical ability of this gifted producer who had spent the last few years honing his skills on the studio desk. ‘Keep On’ a collaboration with Jordan Peak on Area Remote later that year and then his own ‘Sacrifice’ on Saved Records in 2012 brought further success and garnered Mark wide critical acclaim and a helped yield a particularly strong fan base for a young producer with relatively few releases. But Mark has always been someone who focuses on quality ahead of quantity. ‘Cutoff’ which was released via Leena Music and 2013’s ‘Game Plan’ on Saved Records confirmed his much deserved status as one of the scene’s most exciting producers whose ability enables him to craft tracks across the entire spectrum of electronic music.

That same attitude also comes into play during Mark’s engaging DJ sets. A desire to play across the board and create a proper journey for the crowd has made Mark an extremely popular performer at the best clubs and festivals around the world. He is as adept at killing the floor at clubs like El Row in Barcelona, Amsterdam’s Studio 80, Space in Ibiza and Ministry of Sound in London as he is rocking festivals such as Sonar, WMC and the roadblock Saved events in his hometown of Maidstone. Having achieved so much already and still only at the age of 26, Mark has a bright future ahead of him. With his skill set and self-drive all at his disposal, he holds all the cards, it’s just up to him in which direction he will head next.

Originally helmed by [Jamie React](https://www.facebook.com/jamiereact?fref=ts) and [Dhakka](https://www.facebook.com/pages/Dhakka/419965344832447?fref=ts), [Tropic Lab](https://www.facebook.com/thetropiclab?fref=ts) made its debut in Singapore’s burgeoning music scene in 2013. Their second gig saw them playing alongside Haan, where they discovered that his sound complements the [Tropic Lab](https://www.facebook.com/thetropiclab?fref=ts) identity they were working towards. The duo soon turned into a trio with [Haan](https://www.facebook.com/haan.official?fref=ts) on board and they have since carved their own spot in the local nightlife industry.

Despite each member having their own distinct sound, [Tropic Lab](https://www.facebook.com/thetropiclab?fref=ts)’s ability to seamlessly blend all three together proves to be the winning formula that has quickly garnered them a following of their own. Recognizing the potential that [Tropic Lab](https://www.facebook.com/thetropiclab?fref=ts) has to offer, local house/techno institution, kyō, offered them residency in 2015. This marks a major milestone in the collective’s profile and also presented them greatly sought-after opportunities to collaborate with established DJs and producers from around the globe.

[Tropic Lab](https://www.facebook.com/thetropiclab?fref=ts) cites DJs and producers such as Redshape, Rødhåd, Dixon and, Âme as great influences on their sound as a collective. This is evident from the groove-laden and timeless beats one can expect to be served at every Tropic Lab session. Tropic Lab is tirelessly passionate about their craft and is not afraid to explore and include new elements of house/techno in their sets while still maintaining their core identity.

[Tropic Lab](https://www.facebook.com/thetropiclab?fref=ts) believes in sharing quality music with those who appreciate it and they credit the positive vibes and energy emitted from this like-minded community as the main driving force that fuels Tropic Lab in this journey of theirs. As we all know, positive vibes are infectious and the flow of energy is transferable, so one can expect Tropic Lab to stick around for the long haul.

Public Admission $20 for ladies, $25 for men (incl. 1 drink)

This event is happening on Saturday, 10 October 2015, 11pm onwards at kyo. Cover charge applies. For more information, please see [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/clubkyo?fref=ts).
