Dj/Record Collector of Underground House/Deep House/Techno for over 30 years. I play music that moves me on an emotional level.

In a pinch, if forced to employ adjectives to describe the Mark E. Quark style, one would come up with words like “groovy, laid back and nasty” house music. But putting grammar aside, it’s reasonable to just say that Quark has internalized influences from DJ Harvey, Idjut Boys, Jeno, and Andrew Weatherall, mashed them up, and given life to a signature style and a creature which is totally unique. This creature is currently brought to life for public consumption  at Moonshake in San Diego.

As one of the founding DJs and promoters behind Philadelphia's legendary Special K and Circle parties (IT Parties, Yo-man), O'Keef played a vital role in pushing house music as the backbone of Philadelphia's local rave scene throughout the early 90s. During this time, he brought his unique blend of heady deep house and techno to hundreds of parties across North America and Philly-based residencies. Feeling uninspired by the US scene in the early 2000s, he took some much needed time away, but never the music. O'Keef has quietly re-emerged, DJing very much under the radar at select parties in Philadelphia like Rizumu, Goodie, Drumsong and The Shakedown. He has regained the respect of his peers as a choice selector in the Philadelphia scene, leaning heavily on his 25+ years of vinyl collecting. In 2012, Okeef began producing tracks with his long time collaborator Rob Paine under the guise of "Circle", with 6 releases now out across Leftroom, Worship Recordings and Dubwise labels. Last year, he released his first solo effort on Worship Recordings with several others due out in 2017.
