MARK FLASH-Performing @ Detroit Going Green Oct. 2

Mark knew where he needed to be. When other kids were running the streets, he was trying to figure out how to get into the clubs. In 1980, he got his first set of turntables. Mark taught himself the meaning of struggle as he began the process of spinning at small parties, trying to build himself up. In the mid-80's, Mark was determined not to stop. Due to the work required in promotions, he was a busy man. He seemed to be everywhere at once, yet extremely hard to find. Mark Flash was a not a name he chose, but one that was given to him by fans, and it stuck. . Beyond that, the music was something that had been a part of his life as far back as he could remember.With underground parties and raves, the word began to spread that Mark Flash was a name to be loved if you were a party or club goer. Thanks to a tip from a longtime friend, DJ Rolando of the techno terrorists, Underground Resistance, Flash began flexing his musicianship as a behind the scenes producer for the house music label, Soul City. Merging house, techno, and funk, Mark Flash is one of the few DJ/ Producers who can legitimately play an instrument and read music, he's not looking to bore you with pseudo-intellectualism. He wants to make you move. He defines his production style as "...loud and funky.”Mark Flash has since joined forces with Gerald Mitchell and Ray 7 which make up, Los Hermanos. Travelling internationally, he has shown the world that there’s more to him than just the typical DJ. With skills in keyboards and percussion, Mark Flash puts on a unique show utilizing his talents to form a musical hybrid. As a member of Underground Resistance [UR-078], Flash has taken on multiple projects, from remixes, new releases, mix cd’s, collaborations with other producers, performing at local/ international events as well as charity benefits…just to name a few. Paying more "dues" than most, Mark Flash is not to be played with. After all he's been through, he's not about to back down from the musical game.
