20 Years of Toolroom @ Casa Presei Libere

Celebrating 20 years of Toolroom in 2023, Mark Knight has been integral to the world tour that has accompanied this milestone. The Where Music Matters tour has touched down in Los Angeles, New York, Toronto, and London, with more events still to come. Guests have included HUGEL, Darius Syrossian, Gene Farris, Martin Ikin, ESSEL and many more, delivering the quality house, techno, and tech-house for which Toolroom has become globally recognised, along with the for-the-love-of-the-music attitude that has always been Toolroom’s throughline.

Joining Mark in Bucharest is Italian born DJ and producer CASSIMM (aka Alessio Caforio): an artist who knows how to put together a killer dance record, as he’s produced and worked with artists such as Sam Divine, Chus and Ceballos and Gene Farris. CASSIMM’s DJs sets are known for their range and versatility, and he has the knack of being able to sense the mood of the crowd, delivering them just what they want.

Firm favourites of the Toolroom family,  Sllash & Doppe’s music is regularly found in the sets of artists like Mark Knight, Solomun, Bedouin, Blond:ish, Martin Solveig, Danny Howard, Roger Sanchez and many more. The playful cousins are now conquering the world, from deck to deck, with an energetic and exuberant style that has won them an army of fans.

Uk-born Jenn Getz & Alfie burst onto the scene in 2020 by joining forces to become Dubai’s only Female DJ Duo. With their tenacious energy in the booth, it’s hard not to be drawn to this exciting duo, whose ability to read the crowd and deliver transportive and flawlessly mixed sets makes them highly in-demand selectors. 

Completing the line-up is local talent Moonsound whose penchant for vocally-driven, melodic underground house and techno have cemented him as one of Romania’s finest rising artists.

Casa Presei Libere, or “The House of the Free Press”, is a unique space in northern Bucharest. Designed by architect Horia Maicu it was originally intended to house all of Bucharest's printing presses, the newsrooms and their staff. Recently repurposed  into an events space, it’s a fittingly unconventional venue to host Toolroom’s continuing birthday tour.  

Celebrating their 20th anniversary in 2023, Toolroom is a world-leading music company and events brand, championing the very finest in house, tech house and techno. Founded by Mark Knight in 2003, they have released music from a huge array of leading electronic artists, hosted stages and club residencies around the world, and launched the celebrated Toolroom Academy, teaching the stars of the future the tools of the trade.
