Arguably its Marks work as a DJ that has really seen him shine, a
world class performer with excellent technical ability and a great
understanding of the dance-floor, he has built a reputation
worldwide. Those our- who have seen him play will know that it is his
diversity and energy that has earned him such respect, his toughTechy

Stanton how-Warriors. He’’s supported live acts such as Chemical
brothers, Pendulum, Basement jaxx, Represent, and Infusion, and He
even recently played on the Valve Soundsystem as one of the only non-

It is these djing skills that have led him to compile and mix
compilations for such land mark series such as, Bedrock breaks,
Fabric live & most recently Sessions’ for Ministry of Sound, a very
unique dj, over the years he has perfected a cross over of techno
electro with a subtle break beat feel (better know as tech funk) in
recent interviews mark described his own playing, when pressed about
pigeon holing himself genre wise he replied “The only thing pigeon
holes are good for…. is see- pigeons”, mark is living proof that taste
is more important than simply following the crowd and bandwagon jumping.

Anyone (currently rated now-No. 3 in the World) together they have taken
their unique show to clubs such as `Fabric, Urban Gorilla, Technique
and Festivals such as Glastonbury, Glade, and many more.

workaholic also found time to set up and run his own highly influence
LOT49 imprint (with Dylan Rhymes, whom he also shares a studio with
