Album Notes

DJ Mark King was born in Nicaragua and was brought to the United States when he was 4 years old. He was raised in Paterson, New Jersey and at the age of 11 was introduced to music when he took up piano lessons. While attending Don Bosco Technical High School, Mark studied various angles of technology which steered him to his first passion: Visual Arts.

During the 90’s Mark King experienced the best that nightclubs had to offer. From late-nights at the Limelight to weekend parties at Twilo, he listened to sets of House Music from New York City DJs. Soon enough DJ Mark King was inspired to purchase a used pair of “Technic’s 1200s” and a Vestax DJ Mixer. After shopping at 100’s of record stores in the tri-state area he compiled a top-notch record collection that would reflect his personal taste and style.

One morning at 1:30AM a unique mixing style influenced club-goers at The System nightclub. A true passion for House Music was brought to the public while DJ Mark King played his first set. Since then Mark King has played in and out of the NYC nightlife scene. His past experience and sets at The China Club and Ohm brought him to clubs like Lot 61 and Pink Elephant.

DJ Mark King’s major influences include Masters At Work, Junior Vasquez, Victor Calderone & Steve Lawler. While developing his own style of mixing, Mark King decided to bring his dance floor experience into the studio to create crowd-moving beats. He has created his own style of Deep and Tribal House as well as Hard and Electro House.

With a passion for House Music and an extensive background in technology Mark has mastered music production. This allows him to translate the energy of a party into his tracks or any mixed set. Recently DJ Mark King has kept crowds dancing at Sol, Nikki Mid-Town, Aer and Dirty Disco. He expects to bring his influences, dance floor energy and talent into the production and release of his works with BHTC Music.
