Hi my names is Mark. Iv been a DJ since 1997 and started producing in 2009. The first genres of music to catch me, back in the day lol, was hard house n Jungle. Tony De Vit was a major influence in my early DJing years. His production work was excellent and his mixing was quality. I liked how he stretched the mix out.  Also his timing was quality .On the flip side I was also influenced greatly by the likes of Andy C and the Ram crew. The darker label Renegade Hardware also opened my ears to the darker sounds of drum n bass. Hearing the likes of Micky Finn and Kenny Ken spin the decks in Birmingham. It spell bound me and showed me the art of DJing. I didnt do any gigs as a hard house DJ or Jungle/dnb DJ, but did do loads of house party's where I would always blow the roof off lol.
 In 2004 I stopped mixing hard house and started mixing Speed garage bassline and funky house. By the end of 2004 I had my first gig and gained a residency in a bar in Birmingham. 2005 was a mad year where I was working sometimes twice a week, in and around Birmingham. I was playing mainly funky house at that time. By the end of 2005 I started moving off the funky house and got into the Tribal Tech side of things.
In 2008 I found my whole musical journey had taken me full circle and Jungle/drum n bass took over.
In 2012 I briefly had a radio slot with www.globaldnb.com. This gave me a taste of playing in front of a audience which in turn gave me the confidence to approach promoters for bookings. In 2013 I teamed up with the XHK krew, where we played gigs up and down the UK. The biggest playing at Fantazia in Bristol. Not long after that I parted ways with XHK and began to get my own bookings such as Remedy, Intuition, HardSkool, Fourseasons, Chaoticwaves and Eurodnb. If you want to here me live you can.
add me on facebook or follow me on twitter to find out when and where I'm playing next.
