State of Flow: Mark Knight

/in /by

“Flow” is a scientifically recognized state of mind where a person is completely focused and immersed in what they’re doing- All time seems to stop, the whole world seems to disappear, and the person is performing and creating at their peak levels. Top performance athletes, engineers, and especially your favorite music artists all try to do whatever they can to achieve the State of Flow. Although everyone has their own method to achieve “flow”, factors such as creative workspaces, learning beyond their craft, physical/mental well-being, feedback/self-evaluation on work, and resting time- help all artists create their best work.

In this installment U.K house producer star, Mark Knight shares with 6AM how he achieves key factors to get to a State of Flow when it comes to projects like his recent release Daddy Shhh that released on September 23, 2022 on Toolroom alongside Crusy, and his next upcoming single The Music Began to Play alongside Armand Van Helden that will also debut on Toolroom Records on October 7th, 2022. Both singles are available to purchase through Beatport.

Renters Turn Their Airbnb Pad Into A Nightclub

/in /by

People usually go to Airbnb to find a place to sleep while visiting a new city. But some tourists have a somewhat different idea altogether.

That was apparently the case when a group of tourists decided to turn their rented one-bedroom Airbnb pad in Canonbury, London, UK into a full-fledged nightclub. Full-fledged in the sense that it had a a DJ, bouncer and a professional sound system set up. And yes, they even charged tickets to enter the flat and managed to draw a 200+ crowd that spilled into the street.

“It sounded like fabric was upstairs,” one neighbor said. “It was just the constant bass thud. We saw one guy carrying in DJ equipment.”

Unfortunately, the pad was located in a residential area, and as such the event frustrated the neighbors trying to get some rest for the night.

“It was like a football crowd,” said another neighbor who was at home at the time with his pregnant wife. “It was the worst night ever. I could hear the music louder than if I was playing it in my own living room.”

The owner of the flat was out of the country at the time. Upon hearing the news, he felt “terrible and couldn’t do anything.”

The local town council members first attempted to put the party to the stop but weren’t able to do so. Eventually, the police arrived at 3AM though they decided to wait for backup due to the size of the crowd.

Police started clearing out the party after 4:30AM, with the party ultimately ending shortly after 6AM
