Former Future Promoter Teams With Earthcore In Surprising Shake-up

Only weeks before regional Victorian bush doof Earthcore kicks off, founder Spiro Boursine has unveiled a surprising partnership with revered dance music stalwart Mark James.

Both influential members of the Australian scene since the early ‘90s, James was a founder of the now defunct Future Music Festival, while Earthcore went on hiatus from ’08 to ’13.

James has been at the helm of the Australian dance scene since the early ‘90s, contributing to monster festivals Summerdayze, Good Life and more, and has been an integral part of the Melbourne scene, launching Mansion Nightclub and a number of other endeavours through Future Entertainment.

James' music career also expands back to his days in Bass Culture (who brought the world one-time Eurovision contender Gina G).

Boursine described the partnership as “the biggest news in the dance scene” this year.

“In what is without a doubt the biggest news in the dance scene of the year, I welcome the legendary Mark James, the pioneer of the dance scene of Australia, to the Earthcore team,” Boursine said.
