Live At Back2Basics Renegade 6/30/24 (Bootleg Recording)

This was a very special night playing records at RŪMU in Portugal. 

A note about vinyl, a medium many of us love. Playing vinyl for me is more pleasurable, even if it’s less convenient. It’s also more vulnerable, and one thing I like about this set is it’s illustrative of the path travelled this year. This is an unedited recording, straight from the booth at RŪMU. I haven’t shared a set in over a year, largely as my perspective and taste have been shifting faster than my desire to share beyond the dancers in the room when the music is being played.

The set feels like it has three chapters of roughly one hour each. First, a Detroit/Berlin axis exploration with the dance floor. Second, a deeper, hypnotic, broadening of the musical spectrum of the set significantly as I felt more comfortable with the energy in the room. Third, an energetic and more progressive recapitulation of the collective experience. Part of what made the night so special was the feeling of trust and support from the dance floor in going further musically than I might have otherwise.

This year I moved to Berlin to study, to learn, and to go deeper with music. This is my own exploration of music’s connection to my life story and purpose, but it was without a doubt inspired by so many who have moved there long before me. I don’t know where this journey will take me, and I am doing my best to just be present with it in the process and contribute my energy as best I can.

Please enjoy!

Playing Music To A Wall #7

Its been a while since we posted a @welovetoytoy set. Every time we play in the garden on Friday nights we have an insane amount of fun. There's just something about the crowd and the atmosphere that makes us feel at home and free to experiment with different sounds and tempos and genres. The December closing party is always extra special. Arriving at the club to see a queue of ravers snaking around the block is such a wonderful endorsement of the cult-like following that TOYTOY has created over many years of hard work and consistency. 

Thank you to the TOYTOY crew for always including us in these special events. xxx

Recorded live at TideSwing, Santa Cruz April 5th 2025. 100% vinyl, 100% vibes. Enjoy!

Mark Quark - Live @ TideSwing, Santa Cruz 2025

The challenge for this mix was simple: pull house/techno/disco records at random from my collection, one by one, and try to make it all work. It ended up going way better than I expected and was actually super fun to make. I recorded it a few years ago during the pandemic and completely forgot about it, but stumbled on it today while cleaning up my iTunes library and thought it sounded good enough to let loose into the wild. Hope you enjoy ...and if you do, please give it a like and drop a comment. :)

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.
