Mark Williams is a veteran that has paid his dues over more than two decades on the scene. Since the 80s, when he started his DJing career at UK hot spots like the Drum Club, Ministry of Sound, Final Frontier and Full circle, he has been laying the groundwork for his future success. Producing was the next step and working alongside Matt Clayden in the early days under the guise of M & M and Acorn Arts, Mark produced many memorable tracks like Silence and Body, as far back as 1991-95. After some years, Mark felt it was time to go it alone in the studio as well as the DJ booth. His solo production work has gained him acclaim the world over and he has released a staggering catalogue of quality tracks on some of the most respected techno labels in the world including: Tortured, Dark House, Pure Plastic, Phont, Primate, and Carl Cox's Ultimate Trax imprint, to name a few. In addition to releasing on other labels, Mark personally owns and runs four more imprints: Artificial Vinyl, Real Sessions, Macumba and Real Vinyl. Mark has also gained worldwide recognition with his skilful and distinctive DJing style. Mixing tribal, tech house and techno on three decks and CDJs, his rocking performances have helped him to develop a strong fan base and facilitated gigs in places like: Orlando, Amsterdam, Spain, Prague, Turkey, Rotterdam, Miami, Slovenia, Zurich, Belgrade, Brussels, Japan, Brazil, Colombia, Macedonia, and Sweden. His first major tour was in 1998 when Mark was asked to join Carl Cox on his World Wide Ultimatum Tour. In 2000 Mark became a resident at a club night called Damage in Dublin and later that year supported Billy Nasty on his Torture Chamber World Tour. 2003 found Mark on his first Ingoma Tour with Ben Sims which culminated in a now legendary party at the Loft Club, Barcelona, the weekend of Sonar. In 2004, Mark and Ben set out for another tour to promote Marks debut album, A Point in Time on Ingoma. 2005 was another banner year, with Mark playing at clubs, parties and festivals around the world including a set for more than 40,000 people at the Monegros Festival in Spain. This past September, Mark started a weekly techno night in London called The Box, where he is one of the residents. 2005 also found Mark bringing his sound to radio. The Concept Show (www.conceptshow.com), is a monthly broadcast that Mark co-hosts with Macedonian DJ Goran Kan. From the studio to the DJ booth, Mark Williams is one of the brightest stars in the world of techno and his list of accomplishments is impressive and ever growing. With respect for the past, Mark is squarely focused on bringing his electrifying sound and style to a wider audience in 2006
