What’s 2 m tall, lives Behind the Iron Curtain, has 1605 reasons to run an awesome label, and flies? Meet UMEK, a techno legend from Slovenia.

UMEK is personally responsible for kickstarting the electronic music scene in his home country by first organizing illegal raves and then becoming one of Slovenia’s most wanted export products and the number one music ambassador to the whole world.

And he does fly! Around 100 times per year, visiting almost every continent each year. His gig diary ranges from dark underground clubs in Berlin to massive techno stages at the world’s most renowned festivals. 

Apart from making his name in the DJ booth, he’s also a tireless producer. He mostly releases on his own imprint 1605, and most of his tracks end up on the very top of Beatport’s charts. After more than 25 years as a professional musician, he decided to use his experience and skills in the entrepreneurial world. Together with his managers, he founded a music-tech startup Viberate (www.viberate.com), where they are building the world’s greatest music platform.

DJ, Grammy-nominated producer and label owner Mark Knight is one of the most celebrated electronic artists of his generation with an impressive 200 Million + global streams to his name. His career has spanned close to two decades, with releases on a diverse range of world-leading labels such as Sony, Warner & Ministry of Sound, through to cool independents such as Cooking Vinyl, BBE, Elrow and of course Toolroom.   

Armed with a musical library that knows no boundaries and a consistent run of chart-topping hits, the success of Mark Knight’s recording career is matched only by the credibility and integrity maintained throughout his discography to date. Anthems such as ‘Man With The Red Face,’ ‘Alright’ & ‘Downpipe’ and working closely alongside bands such as Faithless, Underworld & Florence & The Machine have sealed a diverse musical heritage for the accomplished producer.   

Aside from his industry-leading production work on the underground dance scene he has also written and produced music for a range of global superstars including Calvin Harris, Black Eyed Peas, Dido, David Guetta, J Lo, Flo Rider, Icona Pop and more.  Mark Knight also continues to grow across international radio with Toolroom Radio now reaching over 15 million people in 60 countries across the world each and every week.
