DJ Mark's primary objective each time he plays is to take you on an exciting journey through the music he plays. He follows the tradition of some of the early masters of the DJ craft like Larry Levan, Nicky Siano, and David Mancuso, along with current masters like Danny Tenaglia, Dimitri from Paris, Warren Gluck, and Susan Moribito. Rather than just "play songs", Mark carefully chooses each successive song to create a story or message through the music. Each song, whether it be a vocal or instrumental, contains a mood or message, which transfers into an emotion.
When Mark plays, he aims to take you through many emotions, and yet leave you feeling uplifted and exhilarated by the end of his set. Â This is the major reason Mark prefers not to play requests since that generally interrupts the story he is telling, analogous to a flat tire or mechanical breakdown on a road trip.
Mark's musical catalog spans the past three decades and each time he plays, he incorporates music from the 70's, 80's, and 90's along with more current tracks. He enjoys all types of house music including disco, electronic, tribal, and progressive. Realizing how much music can re-stimulate great moments from the past, Mark strives to always incorporate great, often forgotten, songs into his sets that will bring back memories and touch the hearts of his listeners.
