Mark Knight’s legacy already ranks
him as a leading player in dance music culture. His rise to
the forefront has been more than just gigs and remixes; his
contribution to the scene via his label Toolroom Records,
demonstrates abilities that supercede the glorified title
of ‘DJ’.
This year, with a Grammy Nomination for work on the Black
Eyed Peas’ multi-platinum album ‘The-End’,
3 of the biggest selling records on Beatport’s ‘Best
Sellers List’; ‘Music Matters’ ‘Flauta
Magica’ & ‘Good Times’, an IDMA nomination
for his Toolroom Knights weekly radio show and a prestigious
Beatport award for his single ‘Good Times’ - 2010
has most definitely been a year of colossal achievement.
So where did it all start…
In 2004, with a personal vision for house music, Mark created
his own workshop for 21st century dance musicians, Toolroom
Records, and with it a new way of thinking.
Since its launch, the Toolroom imprint has developed into
an uncontrollable beast, celebrating success as the biggest
selling label on Beatport and reaching the milestone of 100
releases in 2009 courtesy of Faithless.
As a producer, Mark has built a reputation for outstanding
releases; ‘Man With The Red Face’, ‘Downpipe’,
‘Good Times’, ‘Devil Walking’, consistently
topping international dance charts, and has been involved
in producing tracks for leading artists, including new output
from Faithless and contribution to the latest Underworld album.
And there’s more…
As a DJ, Mark holds international prominence, recognised
the world over for his extended 7 hour sets, headlining festivals
and clubs from Ultra Music Festival Miami to the Terrace at
Space Ibiza.
In 2006, Mark’s belief and desire to inject freshness
into a stale club scene, inspired him to programme his own
parties, this concept became a reality with the launch of
Toolroom Knights at Ministry of Sound, London in October ’06.
Having gained unrivalled success as one of THE superior club
nights, Toolroom Knights has gone on to generate great global
success and support with Mark headlining Toolroom residencies
at Cocoon Frankfurt, Space Miami, Ministry of Sound London,
Pacha New York as well as hosting Toolroom arenas at key festivals
including; SW4 London, Global Gathering UK, Dance Valley Netherlands.
All in all, it’s been a BIG journey for Mark Knight,
pioneering a sound and attitude that’s gained respect
from fans and industry people alike hungry for the integrity
of Mark’s production skills and quality of Toolroom
Knights’ parties. And there’s so much more to
come.
