His grandparents already had a Casio Keyboard, which he liked more than the classic piano.
In 1992, his big brother bought the brand-new ATARI MEGA STE. Thank God, there was a Rhythmcomposer Software called "Freedrum", where Mark programmed his first Drumloops...
4 years later, some club events in his area started up called "Rave the village" by Hannibalecter Events and "Soundhouse" by Mystic Mountains. But Mark became a member of the Discoteam of his Lutheran Church. There were events of Dance-evenings. Around 11:00 pm there was a break and one of the team preached the Gospel... That was a great time.
In 1998, Mark did civilian service where he earned the first "real" money. So he bought his own belt-drive-turntable and played the first time vinyl in public on Freakstock. One year later, he left his parents home near Ramstein (american airbase) to Nuremberg.
There he started the legendary "Lightliner Project" where he produced his first tracks.
In the same time he set a milestone of worship in the Jesus Freaks Church. That was the first "electronic" sounds in the churches of Nuremberg. There grew some new projects in from different producers in Marks footsteps like "COCOON PROJECT" or "VERBALES DESIGN".
The "Lightliner Project" became famous in America, United Kingdom and Poland.
Yes, thats right... in Poland!
Through the website 'lightliner.com' at that time he got an invitation to play a mixset in Wroclaw. There was a great Drum and Bass Night with Mark as headliner under the nickname "DJ Josh". So he was invited to come to the Slot Art Festival in year 2002, there he met his wife.
After this time, there followed the time with NuJazz and Chillout. He produced some tracks and sometimes spinned the records. From 2003-2004, he got a possibility to work as the first residence DJ of Cafe "Das Willich". After he quit, there were until now weekly DJs.
In 2004, he made an internship in the office of Stereo Deluxe Records and helped out into stocks. In this 6 months he started some friendships to few SD-Artists like TRIO ELETRICO, BOOZOO BAJOU, THE STRIKE BOYS, RAZOOF and one day met MEGABLAST and MO HORIZONS. That was really a great Time.
