A Northerner by heart, a Northerner by nature, DJ Mark J oozes friendliness like he’s just been smacked round the face with it. “I’m a very friendly guy, a lot of DJs have big egos. I don’t.” And with this friendly nature comes the kind of ‘go easiness’ that we all could do with a little more of. “My prerogative is, I play cool music, to cool people. And if they like it, then that’s cool too!” Mark J’s definition of cool music is deep , funky, soulful house, 
Originating from Hull, Mark J quickly familiarised himself with this kind of music in the early eighties,soul, disco travelling to the big Northern cities where “good all-nighters” were the place to be. “I fell in love with the music, the lifestyle and the people so I wanted to bring a little of it back home.” Dipping into his pockets to fund a hobby, Mark J purchased a set of DJ decks and started his journey. Playing soul funk n disco i soon fell into the early house groove. Playing at Welly Club Hull, then various warehouse parties in and around Yorkshire. “It was all about house music for me. ” I love all styles of house as long as its got a fat bass line and nice vocals. Soho resident 4 years, Deep Blue fm. Bar So, Westleigh Hotel Parties, Endorset Festival, Beatwinus Radio, Afrodisiac Radio, The Winchester. Vocal Booth Spain 2012, 2013. Bump & Hustle.

Well what can I say, my love for real house music started back in 1996 when i bought my first pair of decks out the local paper. 120 quid with mixer I remember collecting them with my good friend Tom Lingham. We had not a clue what we was doing but we had a small collection of sick Chicago house and Detroit Techno records between us and that was start. With inspiration from the likes of Daft Punk,Laurent Garnier,Terry Francis and radio 1s essential mix on Friday night we became teenage bedroom djs. We did this from the heart and nothing else mattered tbh. So before you know it we was in the back room Atomic Jam at the Que Club Birmingham, DIY were doing there thing ￼and we fell in love with that deep underground Nottingham/East Midlands sound, So we went to Slam night club to see Digs&Woosh a few weeks later and we handed a mix tape to Andy Jones (love Revolution) Jonha was a bit sceptical at first but after a listen he seen something in these young kids and with his reassurance from trickster he
gave us a chance. So was born the first deep house club night in Wolverhampton Rico’s. The first night we had 15 people through the door lol. But only a matter of weeks we had queues around the block and full 300 capacity! We was kids I was 18 and we did it just for love and nothing else. Charles Webster,Simon DK, Emma and Digs&Woosh from the legendary DIY sound system came down who are our hero’s at the time. Glasgow underground’s Kevin McKay Elliott Eastwick and Miles Holloway ￼from Paper Recordings, Ben Davis,Def E, Kenny Hawkes, John Kelly, a man called Adam. We teamed up occasionally with the local Source ￼ outfit from Walsall, also Smokescreen sound system Rob and Steve, Inland Knights  Laurence and Andy also did the business. So life gets in the way but that was then. And this is now! ✌🏼
