Constantly searching for new sounds, original production talent and cutting edge club music, Mark EG is at the forefront of the UK's new music soldiers. But he refuses to be labelled. And this sometimes chameleon-like addiction to music has held Mark responsible not only for some of the most ground breaking releases in the techno world over the last ten years (The Anxious) but also has cemented his place at the top of the global hard dance movement.

With a deep musical history that spans back to the Chicago house and Detroit techno sound of the early 80's, Mark has become widely acclaimed for his intense stage presence, as well as his outrageous antics behind the decks. His ability to cross over into different music movements is simply unrivalled. Mark's most notable achievements have included his massive popularity in the Serbian/Bosnian and Croatian techno scene; the near sonic domination of the Canadian rave scene; his infiltration of the hard dance scene; his almost cult-like status within the UK hardstyle and hard trance movements; and of course who could forget his place in the UK hardcore scene where Mark has been a well respected part of the furniture for the last fifteen years - playing regularly at all the main events such as Dreamscape, Helter Skelter, Hardcore Heaven, Slammin Vinyl and Club Kinetic. Mark also plays regularly at some of the biggest outdoor events on the world stage such as Dance Valley, Impulz, Ground Zero and Q Dance. And of course there's his Blackout Audio FM techno radio show.

Most recently Mark was voted 'UK's Best Hard Dance DJ' at the Hardcore Heaven Awards 2003, 2004 and 2005 and for his downright lunacy he received the 'Party Animal' award 2006 at the London's Hard Dance Awards. It's also well documented he was instrumental in the A+R for 90's giant Bonzai Records and was Assistant Editor for cult music magazines such as Wax and Eternity. He still regularly writes monthly techno reviews for leading UK magazine M8. This is one man who simply lives, eats, sleeps and breathes music.
