MARK TILLOTSON'S HEDKANDI CLASSICS PART 3

Like most DJs, Mark’s career started out in his bedroom.  A passion for collecting records from an early age saw him go through numerous sets of 1210s before he finally decided to keep a pair and focus on improving his skills.

Mark spent hours upon hours in a very geeky way mastering Tricks and Skills on the newly produced Pioneer CDJ’s reading magazines, Watching Tutorials, anything to train his brain on what every button or knob did or how these machines worked to which proved vital later on in his Djin sets… 

Mark often uses 3 decks when mixing running Acapella’s over songs, Recording Loops & Samples which he uses in all his sets.. Mesmerising tricks which makes Mark a little or totally different from the normal Dj and something which makes people know or aware when he’s on the decks.. 
 
From day one, Mark concentrated solely on playing the sound he loved - Vocal Funkyhouse music. A genre he now knows literally inside out. Mark has truly mastered the sound he loves, Mark is proud to stay true to his roots.

With his foot firmly in the door and with his confidence reaching new heights, Mark found himself in demand and became a regular fixture on Manchester’s gay scene resident at Queer Bar, Essential nightclub, and also Leeds most famous night SpeedQueen on which he was resident for nearly 5 years. 

In 2010, Venus nightclub moved from its former Deansgate home to a new club on Blackfriars and with the new venue, came new ideas. Some nights were not as popular as others and as such were facing the axe.  One of the fated nights was Venus Classics and eager to come to the rescue, Mark asked club manager Ben Egerton if he could take over the night. Ben agreed to give Mark a three month period to get Classics back on track.

With Mark at the helm and a dedicated funkyhouse team of Venus resident, Mark began booking and playing alongside his dream producers & artists DJs & Live PA guests such as Junior Jack & Kid Creme, Grant Nelson, Mark Doyle, Freemasons, Soraya Vivian, Warren Clarke, Lisa Millet, Julie McKnight, Stonebridge, Seamus Haji, KKlass, Paul Taylor - to name but a few - Classics went from strength to strength.  Mark’s vision of developing a true funkyhouse night was beginning to take shape and putting the Venus Classics night back on track.  With Classics now rating the busiest night at Venus, Mark’s passion and love for his music has finally paid off.

But Mark’s dream doesn’t end there.  Nostalgic for the mis-spent nights of his youth, and inspired by the popularity of his music in Manchester, Mark decided it was time to bring a slice of the good old days back over the Pennines to Leeds…

Thus was born his latest venture. THE FUNKYHOUSE CLUB LEEDS..   

A night totally dedicated to playing nothing but, True Funky Vocal House Music.. Bringing back the sounds and vibes that Leeds was once buzzing with, Mark’s dream is to keep playing the music he loves within a city he has fond memories of.  Bringing together equally devoted DJs, PAs and other artistes Mark’s vision of a night that puts a smile on everyone’s face whilst raising money for good causes.. 

Funkyhouse Club is still vibrant amongst the Leeds nightlife bringing likeminded people together enjoying the music they love..
