From his earliest club experiences at legendary Manchester venues the Hacienda and the Paradise Factory, Mark Anthony’s life and career have revolved around one thing: The music.
Throughout the early-to-mid ’90s he witnessed the burgeoning house scene first hand, hearing sets from world-renowned DJs such as Carl Cox, Graham Park and the late Tony De Vit. It was De Vit and his pioneering Nu-NRG sound which proved Mark’s greatest inspiration, and he bought his first turntables and mixing deck following a move from Manchester to Cardiff in 1998.
Having fallen instantly in love with the thriving and cosmopolitan Welsh capitol, Mark took to building an extensive collection of house music on vinyl – scouring record stores for the latest releases and rare “white labels”. In his spare time he honed his mixing skills, and was soon DJ-ing at house parties across the city.
With his reputation as a DJ growing, in 1999 Mark secured a residency at Cardiff’s Club Wow. This was followed by further residencies at Emporium, Club Out, and a stint as the longest-serving resident DJ at Club X. He collaborated with fellow DJs Don Grant (of Rude Boy Records) and Mark Lawrence (Positiva) on several successful club nights and parties across South Wales and the West, and has since performed guest slots at Revolution (Cardiff), Green Carnation (Soho) and Aftershock (Manchester).
In 2009 Mark branched out into promotion when he joined the team at DecaDance, a South Wales-based party night specialising in old school house and techno, running its Cardiff nights and helping to launch its first Manchester night in 2013. He still maintains a residency at Cellar Door, a regular house, techno and electro night at Cardiff Bay venue The Vaults.
Having studied and experimented with cutting edge production techniques for over a decade, 2012 saw Mark launch his career as a producer, under the name Cool Like Daddy, with the release of several high profile remixes and original tracks on the labels Toolbox House, Good Lucky and Enriched. Like the tracks he’s played throughout his career, Mark’s music is funky, anthemic and bass-driven, using original and organic sounds and samples to create tracks of unparalleled intellect and authenticity.
As well as regular club appearances and production Mark hosts his own show, House Nation, on Radio Cardiff, playing the very latest in house music to listeners across the capitol and around the world.
