In a career spanning almost a decade, Mark Knight has not left the pages of DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJ poll since his first inclusion in 2008. He has been nominated for Grammy and has performed at the world’s most iconic music venues and festivals around the world.
One of the most accomplished music players from UK, Knight is coming to Qatar on October 29 to perform at Indigo, Sheraton Doha Hotel. One of house music’s legendary disc jockeys and boss of the enigmatic Toolroom Records, Knight will perform alongside Mike Hobson and Jared Mcculloch Pyrokiss.
In a world where music is often limited to genre handles and buzz sounds, Knight has proven a rare and wonderful breed of integral house heavyweight.
With a solid reputation on both the digital market and dance floors across the globe, the Grammy-nominated DJ/producer has never rested on the laurels of being one of the industry’s most respected and accomplished UK players to date.
Armed with a musical library that knows no boundaries, a consistent run of hits and chart-topping ventures alike, the success of Knight’s recording career is matched only by the credibility and integrity maintained throughout his discography to date.
Heard through a spread of popular releases (Man With Red Face, Alright) and high profile remixes (Basement Jaxx, Chris Malinchak), further work alongside both Faithless and Underworld has sealed a diverse musical heritage for the accomplished producer. It’s music for passion, not numbers, and it’s what Knight does best.
Ten years strong and responsible for championing a wealth of talent from across the industry spectrum, his award-winning Toolroom Records remains a key component in the life and times of Mark Knight.
Having celebrated a decade of embracing new sounds, faces and places through its vast label and live ventures, 2014 has seen the brand focus on the developments that will shape the next 10 years to be just as exciting.
With a plethora of exciting global festivals, residencies and Toolroom showcases planned for the very near future, it promises to be another great year for the British heavyweight.
As his Toolroom Radio concept continues to gain traction across more than 60 countries to an audience in excess of 13mn, Sirius XM, Radio FG and Beat 1009 are just a few of the places where the increasingly popular show can be heard.
Add a third installment of Knight’s Bullets EP series, high profile remixes and collaborations across the board and the story speaks for itself. This passion over fashion approach makes Knight an indispensable asset to modern dance music.
Toolroom Records is known internationally as one of the most innovative major brands in dance music. After over a decade in the music industry, we are known for our passion for quality House music, and a close connection with our community of fans.
Over the past 10 years, we’ve signed and even discovered some legendary artists; we’ve led the way in an ever-changing industry, developing artists and even evolving ourselves – and this is just the beginning.
Toolroom Records began in 2003 when emerging DJ/producer Mark Knight and brother Stuart Knight started the label. Quickly developing a fan base of professional and aspiring DJs, the label became synonymous with credible House and Tech House.
Rising in tandem with the career of label figurehead Mark, Toolroom rapidly grew into an internationally known brand through some defining club records, most notably Mark Knight’s remixes of Man With The Red Face and You’ve Got The Love, among a host of original material from Knight and other heavyweight dance artists.
