Strut: Measured In Stride

Amber: Hearth

Buy Mark Slee Remix

Mark Slee - Amber: Hearth [September 2024]

Better late than never, they say. The tempos they are a-changin', and have been for a good little while now. Faster is the new slower. This mix is a groove trip up to 130bpm, territory I've not regularly played in since the turn-of-the-millenium heyday of progressive house. But this is by no means a nostalgia session. The tempo hits different these days, doesn't feel in a rush whatsoever, so kick back and take your time.

Mark Slee - Cadence: Finding Pace [November 2024]

After last month's uptempo excursion, it's right back in the deep saddle for winter. Here's a mix that tries to combine a bit of shimmer with the gentle warmth of a cup of cocoa. Somehow ended up with more vocals than usual in here, so a winter whisper it is.

Mark Slee - Nightshade: Groundswell [February 2025]

Making stuff up and pulling things apart? Seems to be the state of the world these days. But putting things together and deconstructing musical threads? Now I suppose that's what a DJ mix is all about.

Intricate grooves, dreamy textures, playful whimsical bounce. Over the course of an electronic music obsession more than 20 years strong, Mark Slee has evolved a deep musical style that reflects a unique personality, blending intuition and introspection with a methodical approach to production and curation.

Fully committed to digging the troves of modern dance music, Slee aims to uncover releases that stand out. His monthly mix show on Proton Radio showcases his discoveries, with over 100 mixes presented in the past decade. In 2016, Slee joined forces with musical partner Atish to form the label Manjumasi. Debuting with his own Nocturne Belle EP, Manjumasi celebrates quirky dance music that explores new territory without forgetting the dance floor. Beyond Manjumasi, Slee's original productions and remixes have been released on such imprints as Cityfox, Seven Villas, Kindisch, Everything Will Be OK, Sound Avenue, Lost Diaries, Cosmic Society, Magician On Duty, Nugget, Where the Heart Is, Proton Music, and more. In addition to regular appearances on his San Francisco home turf, Slee's style has earned him DJ sets in notable locales, such as Kater Blau and Sisyphos in Berlin, Cityfox in New York, and Robot Heart.

Since 2016 Slee has also been developing immersive, spatial audio-visual production tools for systems of up to 32 channels via Envelop. Notable live performances with Envelop include MUTEK.SF and FORM Arcosanti.
