 Profile:
Mark Williams started his DJing career in
the ‘80s at legendary parties Energy and Sunrise, followed
by a number of years playing at some of the most respected
clubs in the UK scene; such as Ultimate Base, Final
Frontier, Drum Club, Ministry of Sound, Sex Love & Motion
and Full Circle. Mark also produced many memorable tracks
like ‘Silence’, 'Vanilla', 'The Drum' and ‘Body’, as far
back as 1991-95, working alongside Matt Clayden in the early
days under the guise of M & M and Acorn Arts.
After some years, Mark felt it was time to go it alone in
the studio as well as the DJ booth. His solo production work
has gained him worldwide acclaim and he has released a
staggering catalogue of quality tracks on some of the most
respected techno labels in the world; including: Tortured,
Dark House, Pure Plastic, Phont, Primate, and Carl Cox's
Ultimate Trax imprint, to name a few. In addition to
releasing on other labels, Mark personally owns and runs
four more imprints: Artificial Vinyl, Real Sessions, Macumba
and Real Vinyl.
Mark has also gained international recognition with his
skillful and distinctive DJing style; mixing tribal, tech
house and techno on three decks and CDJs, his rocking
performances have helped him to develop a strong fan base
and facilitated gigs in locations such as: Amsterdam,
Belgrade, Brazil, Brussels, Colombia, Japan, Macedonia,
Miami, Orlando, Prague, Rotterdam, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden,
Turkey, and Zurich.
Mark’s distinctive style enabled him to play at some of the
most respected clubs on the scene; thus ensuring him a place
on The World-Wide Ultimatum '98 Tour with the legendary Carl
Cox. In 2000 he became a resident at Damage night club in
Dublin and later that year he supported Billy Nasty on his
Torture Chamber World Tour. 2003 found Mark on his first
Ingoma Tour with Ben Sims which culminated in a now
legendary party at the Loft Club, Barcelona, the weekend of
Sonar. In 2004, Mark and Ben set out for another tour to
promote Mark’s debut album, ‘A Point in Time’ on Ingoma.
2005 was another banner year, with Mark playing at clubs,
parties and festivals around the world including a set for
more than 40,000 people at the Monegros Festival in Spain.
2005 also found Mark starting a weekly techno night in
September 2005 at The Box in London, as well as bringing his
sound to radio; the Concept Show (www.conceptshow.com) is a
monthly broadcast that Mark co-hosts with Macedonian DJ
Goran Kan.
Mark’s productions have been released on labels like Billy
Nasty's Tortured, Gayle San's Equator label, Ben Sims'
Ingoma, Dark House Music and Artificial Vinyl. Recently he
set up his own label with Spaniard Aitor Ronda called Real
Vinyl which has already seen releases from Ben Sims, Gayle
San and Mark himself, with an EP from Mark Broom set to drop
shortly.
From the studio to the DJ booth, Mark Williams is one of the
brightest stars in the world of techno; his list of
accomplishments is impressive and ever growing. With respect
for the past, Mark is squarely focused on bringing his
electrifying sound and style to a wider audience in the
future. |
