Chimerical -ShortBus- (FREE DOWNLOAD!)

A musical adventure of space out proportions. Tempos are low and vibes are deep & heavy. Included a few of my own edits in here. Maybe you can spot 'em. 

Sunday Morning Freak Out

Return to Tipper&Friends celebration of all things sonic and visual inside the mystical grounds of the Spirit of Suwannee Music Park in April 2022.

LTJ Bukem - Cosmic Twilight Vol 2 @ Tipper & Friends, Spirit Of Suwannee Music Park 3rd April 2022

It's been a while since I've uploaded a good old fashioned house jam session, so here ya go! This time I put the musical focus on all things dark and lovely. I really hope you enjoy the journey! If you do, don't be shy to give comment or a 'like'. Thanks for listening! 

Dark & Lovely Sessions Vol 1

Submitted for your approval is a mix I dusted off from back in 2011 which I happened to unearth while cleaning out the old mac hard-drive. Pure back-room afterhours wooziness. Thought it sounded nifty enough to share - hope you do too! And please leave comments - Would love to hear from you!

MEQ MIX FEB 2011

A while back Soundcloud, god bless 'em, bumped this particular mix of mine off its server because of a silly copyright issue stemming from the first track. But have no fear - I did a little bit of editing tomfoolery to try and outsmart soundcloud's copyright gestapo and, for the time being, it looks like it worked! This mix is by far one of my most favorite mixes I've done in the history of my Tropical residency and I'm excited to be able to share it once again. I strongly recommend that you download immediately just in case the powers that be strike again. :-)

Mark E Quark - Live At Contrast II (21 May 2017)

The Gathering

2. The Gathering

This is my set that was record live at  the ART OF SOUND party here in San Diego on July 2nd, 2010. The party was pretty rad. My set consisted of some new tracks with some signature tunes that people have come to expect from me. My set time was from 1 am to 3 am.  Enjoy and please comment!

Mark E Quark - Live at Art Of Sound 7/2/2010

Here's part of my sunrise set from last year's Tropical 13-year anniversary retreat. Hoping this will tide everybody over until Ben posts my set from this year's event. 

Live at Tropical 13 yr anniversary (sunrise, 2011)

Although impossible to beat the original, I've worked hard to represent it with flair. The rework of "Song to the Siren" is a dark, tribal affair with a glitchy feel. There are two breakdowns where the vocals sing, "Did I dream, you dreamed about me?" It's probably the only easily understood vocal in the original. Her voice is celestial, sexy, and soothing. The breakdowns are mad with computer doodlings of her voice and pings from underwater searching. Enjoy the track and download if you'd like!

This Mortal Coil - Song to the Siren (Chris Sick Stony Shore Reword)

This set was recorded live at an underground weekly after-show called Etch A Sketch which started sometime in late 92 by Scott Leitzke & James Heth.  The weekly was held in a vacant basement of a building in the gaslamp area of downtown san diego. Despite the dodgy name and the fact it started in the wee hours of the morning, it was a very fun, but short lived night which offered music and a "free breakfast cereal bar" which was a pretty unique idea at the time. The djs on this particular night, if my memory serves me correctly, was DJ Xstatic aka Daeman, Joey Jimenez & myself. This was the era I was constantly being billed as the "sunrise" dj and you can hear why on this mix. Lots of deep / early morning house classics here plus a few other surprises. This mix has never seen the light of day until now. I hope you get a kick out of hearing this mix which is just a few months past 19 years in age. A big thanks goes to Nathalie Schroeder for lending me her copy of this cassette tape since I had lost mine years ago in a move. 

Mark E Quark - Live Nov 1992 Part 1

Mark E Quark - Live Nov 1992 Part 2

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.
