One of the most positive influences of the Electro Culture is the brilliant blend of lounge, progressive + electronic beats from UK’s DJ MARK TABBERNER.  His sort after mixing has stood the test of time since his debut at RENAISSANCE back in 1991 where he remained a firm favorite and a major part of this clubs experience.

After RENAISSANCE opened their doors to CAFÉ DEL MAR’S Jose in 1993, he invited Mark to play in Ibiza’s PACHA + KU and CAFÉ DEL MAR itself.  It was here that Marks rapidly expanding following began to build.

Working the DJ circuit throughout Northern Spain allowed Mark to immerse himself into an even broader range of musical styles.  His commitment took him to Brazil next where he became a resident at Club Columbia’s VELVET UNDERGROUND.  

Returning back to the UK in 1994, Mark was offered a residency at Manchester’s legendary HACIENDA Club (Owned by NEW ORDER and featured in the movie “24 Hour Party People”) – putting his skills to the test for six hours every Saturday night.  He was also a guest at THE MINISTRY OF SOUND, THE DRUM CLUB + HEAVEN.  Spinning with the likes of SASHA and DIGWEED for Northern Exposure Parties.

Mark first dropped his special blend of liquid funk to the shores of the United States late in 1996.  Now working in the heart of Los Angeles Mark joined METROPOLIS on Thursdays with TAYLOR + SANDRA COLLINS.  His sets fluctuated between moments of driving break alchemy and deep sumptuous funk.

Progressing even further his LA sounds have now become synonymous with club goers everywhere.  Mark has since toured America’s hottest clubs, with his Trance CD TRANSATLANTIC COMMUNICATION - SPUNDAE in San Francisco, GENESIS in Denver, TWILO’S on New Years Day with SASHA + DIGWEED, LIQUIFIED Atlanta, LOUIS XIV in LA and has been a long time resident at both GIANT LA at Vanguard on Saturdays and THE ROXBURY Hollywood on Tuesday evenings. He also toured Japan with his second CD release CALIFORNIA DREAMIN’ and held the record attendance for a DJ at THE WOMB in Tokyo. 

DJ MARK TABBERNER is currently working on his third mix album which is as yet untitled.
