303 - Guest Mix Series - Subcora

Progressive/Melodic house Dj

Hi I'm Mark and I have been enjoying electronic dance music since 1995 when aged 17 I visited Cream in Liverpool for the first time. But I think my earliest memories of it came listening to Key103 radio based in Manchester, and aged 16 hitting the dancefloors of Wigan and Southport.

In 1996 I visited Ibiza for the first time and also that summer purchased my first set of decks. These were Soundlab DLP belt drive turntables. The following summer in 1997 after returning from another holiday to Ibiza I made the jump to Technics 1210 MKII with a Numark mixer. I spent all my spare time in record shops or on the phone to record shops trying to get hold of the next big Dj promo and white label. Every penny I had went on records.

In 2008 I finally made the switch to digital and let my Technics go to a new home. Vinyl is still my favourite way to DJ. But digital is more cost effective and saves on space. I have still retained alot of my vinyl records. Learning to mix on belt drives turntables in 1996 and using vinyl for the best part of 20 years is something todays 17 year old budding DJ's won't be able to replicate. It helped me learn to key music, learn the art of beat matching and basically educate me in all things related to DJ'ing.

But old habits die hard and in 2018 I was back on vinyl, and buying lots of records. I bought Technics 1200s .... the best in my opinion along with the mkII model.

And now here in 2020 I have started the Expressions podcast where I will be showcasing some of my favourite progressive, melodic and techno and deep house tracks. Please check it out, and follow me for notifications of new uploads.

2021 update. I now own the new Technics 1210mk7s. After buying them with much trepidation all I can say is I love them. And now here in 2022 I've sold my digital gear and now operate as a vinyl only dj again. I really appreciate digital and what it brings ... but I'm back doing what I love now and thats the main thing. I just need more space for all the vinyl 😀🙈

Thankyou for visiting my page. I hope you enjoy the mixes I upload. All comments are greatly appreciated.

Keep the vibe going ;-)

Originally from Scotlands coastal East Lothian but now based in Edinburgh . Very broad musical tastes influenced over the years, my parents loved a party, their music definitely influenced me.

I was into early gangsta rap in 90s, then Leftfield,Daft punk etc , whilst working in a kitchen as a teenager in a Saturday, i listened to Pete Tong before finishing work and heading home for the essential mix later! 

Became hooked on clubbing during the early days of prog , 2000 onwards it was every weekend nearly.My love of clubbing and music has never stopped from those days.


Picked up Belt drive turntables before moving to 1210s in 06 and added Pioneers, I still use vinyl but mainly digital nowadays.


Over the years I have played in clubs in Edinburgh at nights such as Beatroot, Karnival. 

Aswell as Edinburgh I have also played at Kinfolk in Williamsburg ,Brooklyn NYC, Cariocas Beach Bar in Greece and also in the glamorous Cote d'Azur areas of St Raphael/Frejus. 

I hit a buffer in 2018 due to family circumstances and it wasn't until 2020 I got back into DJing again. 

I did 2 vinyl live streams during lockdown and afterwards I was Invited to do guest mixes for Online group PFG , I was then asked by Steven Mccreery and Kev Wright to do mixes for Beat 106. In July 2022 I was asked by Belgium/France based station, Xbeat radio to do a mix. I have since done a further 6 mixes for them .

The Pinnacle for me has been playing at the mighty Skyline parties in Glasgow, I was first asked to play at their 2nd Birthday Sudbeat Showcase in May 2024 alongside Graziano Raffa, Marcelo Vasami, Nicolas Rada, GMJ and Matter .

Incredibly I was asked to play again at the Selador records party in September 2024. Dave Seaman and  Steve Parry, alongside Kasey Taylor,Tara Brooks.

I like to try and use music from many different genres and artists. Anything goes ! 

From Ambient sounds to Hip Hop,Jazz,Disco and on to good ol House music with anything else in-between! 

I continue to record guest mixes for stations around Europe and hopefully beyond in the future ,
Thank you for checking out my page and I hope you enjoy my mixes.



I’m an eclectic DJ based in Liverpool, UK, originally from Istanbul, Türkiye. My passion lies in blending melodic sounds across genres like deep house, tech house, melodic house, afro house, lo-fi, garage, downtempo, world music, disco, and soul.

Someone once described my sound as “trippy yet groovy” and I think that still sums it up pretty well.

While my live sets are more dancefloor-oriented, I love creating mixes for streaming that are better suited to home listening.

Hope you enjoy the ride. <3
