NAME: MARK EG
DJ SINCE: 1985
PRODUCER SINCE: 1996
INFLUENCES: EVERYTHING
WINNER ‘BEST HARD DANCE DJ’
(2003, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2009). BEST
COMPILATION 2011.
WEBSITE: www.markeg.com
LABEL: www.blackoutaudio.co.uk
Winner of ‘Best Compilation’ and nominated for best UK DJ the 2011 Hard Dance Awards, winner of 'Best Hard Dance DJ' five times at the annual Hardcore Heaven Awards, if you think you've heard and seen it all, think again. With a unique, original and anarchic approach to music, Mark's fifteen year reign at the very top of the UK musical movement, has seen this critically acclaimed DJ, music producer and all-round lunatic lead the way when it comes to smashing down the barriers of sound.
From hard techno to hardstyle, from minimal to electro and everything in between, he has managed to carve himself a distinctive place deep within the minds of passionate music devotees the world over.
Couple this will his infamous and legendary stage antics (chainsaws, deck smashing - you name it!) and you get a DJ who holds a very special place in the heart of the global dance movement. There have been many imitators, but there is only one Mark EG!
MARK EG BIOGRAPHY:
Mark’s rise to fame began in the early 90’s after his love for Chicago house, Detroit techno and acid house progressed into an unequivocal need to spread the word of Belgium techno, hard techno and also hard trance. After DJing for the UK’s biggest rave parties of the time (Helter Skelter, Dreamscape etc) as well as working as PR for Re:Load, GPR and Proper Records, Mark became A+R for dance music giant Bonzai Records. He also turned his skills to journalism, editing the techno section for cult rave magazine Eternity. He soon became Assistant Editor for Wax Magazine and to this day writes record reviews for Tilllate Magazine and co-owns and edits Core Magazine.
Over the years, he’s played in nearly every continent as well as some of the biggest and best parties the dance scene has to offer. Circuito (Brazil), Q Dance (Holland), Dance Valley (Holland), Q Base (Germany), Slinky (UK), Tidy Trax (UK), Planet Love (Ireland), The World Electronic Music Festival (Canada), Glastonbury (UK), Hardline 77 (Russia), Apokalypsa (Czech Republic), Club Cinema (Ukraine), HTID (UK and Australia), Fantazia (Scotland), Ground Zero (Holland), Frantic (UK), 3D/Hard Kandy (Australia), Drop Bass Network (America), Paradog (Slovakia), Technofest (Crimea), Country Club (UK), Slammin Vinyl (UK) it’s an endless list that sees him playing an average of two to four gigs per weekend.
Mark produces music under various names (many of which are anonymous) but perhaps his most famous is with his partner Chrissi under The Anxious. With releases on established labels such as Audio Assault, ARMS, Compound, Planet Rhythm, Fine Audio and Submissions, their Live PA for Circuito in Brazil in 2005 became on of the most downloaded hard techno sets of all time.
Then there’s his own techno record label Blackout Audio. With a release schedule that’s seen releases from countless legendary techno producers including Inigo Kennedy, Glenn Wilson, Patrick Skoog and Chris McCormack, it’s hardly surprising that the label website now boasts an online techno community of nearly 20,000 members.
Whatever your style, whatever your sound, Mark EG is one artist you don’t want to miss out on. No hype, no bullshit, just music.

SPACID (Kozzmozz, Retro Acid) techno set

http://www.spacid.be/
Spacid started collecting music from a very early age and played
occasionally on weddings and block parties.
His first influences were Synthesizer Greatest (Jean-Michel Jarre,
Vangelis ...) and new wave club classics (Front 242, Depeche Mode ...),
later welcoming Belgium's New Beat craze and early Chicago house.
Spacid's first steps playing in front of a public dates back to 1990,
while being a resident dj at Le Café in Kortrijk. There, once settled
behind his trusty Technics, he played all the early electronic music
this dance culture had to offer in those days.
Together with some friends, Spacid organised his first parties in 1992,
which turned out to be a big success and paved the way to setting up
the club Carioca. He was only 17 then. The club was short-lived but is
still remembered as one the legendary and trendsetting clubs in
Belgium.
1994 saw the founding of Funky Green Aliens, a party organisation and
booking agency concentrating on promoting groundbreaking music & arts
and introducing international artists to the Belgian scene. These
parties, mostly illegal, were very successful and still to this day
represent the true roots of Spacid's dj career.
By 1997 he was propelled to slots at the biggest clubs and parties in
Belgium and abroad, such as Dance Valley, Ten Days Off and Kozzmozz.
His name started popping up in all major Belgian clubs and events and
today he is resident at various important party concepts such as Body
To Body at the famous Culture Club, Beats Of Love, Elektron, Retro
Acid, Ultra …
As the label boss of Radius Records, he seeks to expose the foundations
of the electronic side of 70's and 80's disco, highlighting not only
its innovative aspect, but also its importance in today's electronic
dance music. Check the Radius website http://www.radiusrecords.be/ to
find release info, press clippings, etc.
Ever since 1997 Spacid has played nu skool electro, although he can
easily be found playing other genres like all types of experimental
electronics, minimal, all shades of electro, acid, house and probably
the most favourite of them all, disco in all its forms.
-
Spacid's sets are fuelled by an underlying thought process aimed at
providing party people a good time and at the same time opening up
music that is less evident to a larger public.
Apart from a busy dj schedule in Belgium he regularly plays abroad.
Just have a look at line-ups of parties, festivals and clubs in France,
the Netherlands, Germany, the UK, Poland and Malta. He manned the decks in British clubs and parties like Club Trash, Herbal, The Key, House of God, Downtownsounds, Human Zoo, Death disco and played in about every major Dutch club such as Paradiso, Club 013, Melkweg, Effenaar,
Doornroosje. He was even invited at the Berlin Weekend club and Paris's
'Respect is Burning'.
-
A real ambassador of the vibrant club scene, both his quest for
innovation and his reverence for the past transpire in his work as a
dj.
