The FM Press steps boldly into 2011 with its first party of the year at The Star Of Bethnal Green. Their very special guest for the evenings shenanigans will be DJ, producer & songwriter extraordinare Mark Rae. Mark has been Djing for over 20 years starting Fat City, Grand Central and Yesking Records a long the way. Responsible for over a hundred remixes of the likes of Jay Z , Bob Marley, Dinah Washington and Billie Holiday.
