Marco Bailey & Tom Hades
1. Rayavadee
2. Funky Business
(Bedrock Digital) Beddigo05
General Release: 16th May 2010

Hot from his immensely popular “Jungle Laps” track on John Digweed’s Bedrock 11 LP, and storming ‘Watergate EP’ released on Bedrock earlier this year, Marco Bailey is back again, this time having teamed up with fellow Belgian Tom Haddes, for a two track assault on Bedrock’s digital offshoot label.
Both ‘Rayavadee’ and ‘Funky Business’ are sure-fire big-room tunes that are sure to ignite everyone’s dancefloors, and are two great reasons why both of these producers are most definitely ones to keep close tabs on this year.
“It’s a burning, all consuming drive that can only be calmed down by getting into the music. It’s an urge that luckily gets a positive outcome in the studio when I’m working on a track just as long as it takes to get it to sound as it does in my head, or when I’m puzzling on my DJ set until it releases the exact energy that makes the crowd lose it. I can best describe this burning, consuming urge as a positive disorder. Plainly positive because it gives a meaning to my life.” - Marco Bailey
Belgium’s number one techno artist, is seriously putting some graft into craft. His sets are usually top of the night big room sets, and that is precisely the reason why he has been elevated to the upper echelons of Techno Electro Minimal DJ/Producers. Bailey’s innovation and reluctance to conform to a particular genre of music is both refreshing and unique.
“No nonsense, just great music. Techno is pure energy. Giving yourself one hundred percent to make people feel good. Keep an open mind and you’ll get the proper respect.”
Tom Hades started to discover and experiment with electronic music when listening to DAF, Kraftwerk, Front 242. At the age of 15, he bought his first keyboard, the famous Casio CZ-101 and transformed his game-computer (Amiga 500) into his first DAW. During the same period, his old school friend, RedHead, was co-producing with Marco Bailey. He got in contact with Marco, which led them in 2000 to their first co-release. This was the start of a big period of releases, including the anthem of “I Love Techno” in 2001.
In the first period of 2002, Tom also produced his first solo release. In the next 3-4 years he continued to produce tracks on his own as well as his co-productions with Marco on respected labels like MB Elektronics, Pornographic Recordings, Northwest Dynamics, Invasion, Fine Audio, Patterns, Lupp. In 2004, they decided it was time to take the next step, start a label. And so Rhythm Convert was born. End 2004, they released their full album, ‘Rude Boy’, causing a stir all over the world. Now you can enjoy yet another graet collaboration on the highly respected Bedrock Digital label. Enjoy!
