Biografia
It's safe to say that Mark Knight is something of a prodigy in the world of electronica. At the age of 13 he was making his first forays into DJing, playing a regular slot at The Source, a local joint in his native Maidstone years before he'd ever be able to get in without the aid of fake I.D. Thanks to the success of those slots he was tapped by Ministry of Sound to be one of their residents in 2003, the same year that he and his brother Stuart hunkered down in their parents' tool shed and began work on what would later become Toolroom Records. Over the next decade, Knight and his label became massively respected for their celebrated versions of classic productions, most notably his 2008 version of Laurent Garnier's “Man With The Red Face”.
Thanks to his collaborations with icons like Faithless and Underworld, The Black Eyed Peas contacted him to work on their 2010 record “The END”, which was a multi-platinum hit and netted Knight his first ever Grammy nominations for Album Of The Year and Best Pop Vocal Album. Since then, he has remained one of the electronica world's most in demand producers and remixers, working with everyone from Calvin Harris to Tiesto along the way. He's also responsible for the first breaks of many an up and coming producer thanks to his continued work in Toolroom, and since he's cultivated the kind of career that people would kill for before he's even reached 30 years old, Mark Knight's still got the world at his feet, and his best days ahead of him. Highly recommended.

Mark Knight is a DJ and a British producer of house music. He founded the Toolroom Records label in 2003, which is based around house music as he found it’s his passion in life. The DJ is originally from Kent but has travelled all over the world with his job, he's done some amazing remixes including changing music from the likes of The Black Eyed Peas, Calvin Harris and Icona Pop as well as many other artists. Seeing him live made me have a new appreciation for DJ's, everyone was a bit crazy in the crowd at the festival he performed at including me, which I guess is to be expected. He remixed some old classics, which is always risky in case you can’t live up to its popularity but he did it so well that I can't complain. I hadn't heard much about him before that day and I can't really remember all the songs he covered, but the atmosphere he created was intense and the vibes in the air were electric. I may forget him quite easily in the future but I won't forget the fun I had as part of the crowd that day. I'd love to experience it again and it’s great to know that he will be passing on his knowledge of the industry to others as part of his record label.

Mark Knight has countless talents including producing, remixing, DJing and even running a record label. He is the head of lucrative Toolroom Records so as you would imagine he is pretty engaged with his various commitments yet he does take time to head out onto the live circuit. It is clear he receives his thrills from playing to a roaring crowd who are at his mercy for the dance beats.
He is not a major frequenter of the live circuit yet his shows are highly recommended so when he does appear at festivals, the tents are packed out by those in the know and the curious newcomers. He plays a succinct set taking music from his three albums whilst the visuals and lighting create an overall animated atmosphere. He does not take the evening too seriously and drops the likes of 'Your Love' unannounced to huge cheers from the audience. There is no doubt he should head out more often, the demand is clearly huge to see him.

Excellent as always! Never lets the fans down with what they want. Incorporated a person on drums and a person on saxophone throughout half the set was amazing. Definitely recommend going to see him wherever you are he usually goes all around the world constantly on tour
