With Spanish origins, Mark's was born in Nimes in 1977. Since the age of 16 he has been openly passionate about electronic music. At my first parties, instead of dancing with my mates, I would spend the entire night stuck to the HI-FI, putting on tracks. Then along came my first rave parties. When I was 18 we hired a generator and took some decks with us and threw a party in the open air. By morning, I ended up at mine mixing acid-techno to the disapproval of my neighbours.
In 1997, I began to frequent a dance bar where I discovered a new sound and a new style of music. This was House Music. The manager of the bar, who had confidence in my talent, pointed me in the direction of an electro event management organisation. In March 97 the OxyZen adventure began. I met some very enriching people, during the 5 years of this collaboration, which were marked with unforgettable nights.
In 2000,Mark's became the young prodigy of the scene securing his place among the best 5 electro DJs at the D.M.C contest tours. Following this, he has become an important figure in the South of France, scouted by bars, clubs and events on the electronic scene. Me and my vinyls have travelled together from Nimes, to Montpellier, Marseille, Bordeaux, Lyon and Paris In 2004 Marks became resident DJ at the cult Lulu Club in Nimes; this gave him the opportunity to co-organise the BUTTERFLY nights. Currently living in Montpellier, Mark's is set to continue his residency but with a brand new concept FANTASIA.
In the meantime, following the GRAVITY festival at La Villa Rouge, Mark's has got the GRAVITY group involved in the Parisian club scene working in one of Paris biggest clubs le Studio 287. In line with this, I have a lot of other plans. I am developing my musical knowledge with the help of established professionals from Bakelite Studios.I spend my nights on my Apple Mac and on my keyboard. My objective is to produce my first release. Generous, but also shy, when Im behind the decks its thanks to the music that I am able to come out of my shell to share the emotional intensity of the mix with my audience.
DJ Mark's mixes other styles with tidy electro house for high profile, classy bars and clubs, cafe style House or Electro tech for festival goers. This DJs secret? A mix of technique and positive energy, which he cleverly transmits to his audience.
