Mark Knight has
forged himself a
reputation as one of the
foremost house producers
on the planet, shaping
the scene with his
Toolroom imprint. A
string of consistently
hot productions and
skilfully written
remixes (from Kylie
through to Underworld)
have secured ongoing
success at the top of
the dance charts -
highlights of this year
include Mark’s
INCREDIBLE remake of
Laurent Garnier’s epic
‘Man With The Red Face’
(officially Beatport’s
FASTEST ever selling
record, and 1 on their
chart for 3 consecutive
weeks!!) Last year’s
hits include his
'Colombian Soul'
collaboration with
D.Rameriez (one of the
biggest records to come
out of 2007) and a
destructive mix of
Axwell, Angello,
Ingrosso and Laidback
Luke's 'Get Dumb'.
Having stormed the
DJ Mag Top 100 Poll as
one of this year’s
highest new entries -
Mark is now officially
ranked 51 in the world,
and for the second year
running has won ‘Best
DJ’ at the KISS 100
Awards. Setting the
standard Mark is a DJ
who’s technical ability
is second to none – his
sets are a real musical
journey that range from
driving techy sounds
through to deep
progressive main room
beats, and now with the
added VJ element Mark
pushes the boundaries of
technology even further,
Djing both audio and
video via live DVD
mixing, which allows him
to really stamp his
personality on the
night, expressing
himself through the
images and custom video
content, connecting with
his audience on another
level.
It’s been a steady
rise for Mark from
securing his residency
at the infamous Ministry
of Sound in 2003 - the
place where his ability
to command and rock a
dance floor has since
been both tested and
truly perfected. In 2004
with a soaring profile
and a growing fan base,
Mark launched ‘Toolroom
Records’ – initially as
an output for his own
production. As house
music returned to its
underground roots the
label embodied this
shift and began
re-shaping the scene
with its own distinctive
sound - the ‘Toolroom
Sound’, releasing
quality, cutting edge
tracks at a time when
the scene was lacking
originality.
Never one to rest
on his laurels Mark
launched ‘Toolroom
Knights’ at Amsterdam’s
ADE (Amsterdam Dance
Event) in October 2006
to an amzed crowd. The
night, based around the
label’s (Toolroom
Records), and Mark’s
distinctive sound
introduced the
underground sound of
Toolroom to the
overground, and have
gone on to host parties
at key cities across the
world. Already with
established residencies
at Ministry of Sound
(London), Redlight
(Paris), Cocoon
(Frankfurt), Sankey’s
(Manchester) This summer
Mark raises the bar and
takes Toolroom Knights
to the White Isle
kicking off it’s first
Ibiza residency, hosting
the infamous Terrace at
Amnesia on Tuesday’s
(launching July 1st)
From the start of
his Ministry residency
in 2003 through to the
launch of ‘Toolroom
Knights’, and now having
fully embraced the
audio-visual technology
Mark Knight is a
DJ/producer whose
dedication and talent
are apparent within his
consistently
mind-blowing
productions, DJ sets and
parties. Mark has
established his status
as a world premier
DJ/producer, and
continues to build a
solid worldwide fan
base. |
