:: THE DANISH ENTOURAGE ::

Within the bustling European electronic music scene, Denmark has long been the place to look for some of the worlds hottest new labels, producers and DJs. Despite being a country with a population that barely touches the six million mark, Denmark seems to churn out one original hot constellation after the other – all making their mark on any relevant chart or dancefloor over the past years. And supported by their peers among Djs, magazines and promoters around the world, there is definitely a consensus that something is blossoming in the state of Denmark right now.

Mathias Mesteño and I was invited to play at the Upon.You label night at Bar 25 in Berlin on July 4th.
We had the opening slot from 22 in the evening until 4 in the morning, well I think we played until 5 or something like this. From midnight on we had a packed floor and hands in the air. A great great night, day and night again at Bar 25 in Berlin.
Again nice to see lot’s of old friends and meeting new people too, you know who you are

I went to Barcelona and Sonar together with my good friend and label mate Lars Gregers (Blagger). This was his first time there while Sonar was on, for me it was the 3rd or 4th time I think.
Anyway we had a great time for sure, weather wasn’t as hardcore as it sometimes is in Barcelona, so lot’s of wind and clouds, but this made it actually a bit easier to walk around without being totally fried.

We are happy to announce that Mark-Henning, Berlin based Londoner, will do the next vinyl release on Tic Tac Toe (TTT027), coming out in a few months (March/April).

Mark is a busy man, with lot’s of international gigs, releases/remixes on well established highclass labels and so on, so we are more than happy that he decided to join the Tic Tac Toe family.

Below you can read his biography and discography while waiting for his fantastic first release on Tic Tac Toe.

London’s Mark-Henning has risen up as one of the international underground’s true players – recording for a volley of acclaimed European labels by night and slaving as a corporate whore by day. But now he has freed himself from the 9 to 5 shackles and slog of the city to concentrate on his passion for music full time – ROCK N’ROLL!

Born in 1977 to English and German parents, he has spent most of his life in England, though has never forgotten his German techno roots and has recently relocated to Berlin. Inspired by a whole range of music (from Dan Bell to Dinosaur Jr. to Ed Rush & Optical), Mark-Henning’s sound sits somewhere between house and techno, with a healthy dose of futuristic bleeps, funk, darkness, groove and deepness. His releases have found their way into the record boxes of the likes of Ricardo Villalobos, Craig Richards, Akufen, Mr C, Laurent Garnier and Richie Hawtin to name just a few. Additionally his tracks have been licensed to recent Fabric and Minus compilations – as well as acheiving airplay on radio stations worldwide.

He has established himself as a player in the scene over the last couple of years, not just through his productions (on labels such as Soma, Cynosure, Trapez, Freude am Tanzen, Foundsound, Einmaleins, Frankie, Morris Audio, Safari Electronique, Mo’s Ferry, Milnor Modern), but also through his world-wide performances – mixing up deep house, techno and everything in between to get dancefloors kicking up a sweat.

Balancing his heavy day job in London with his music wasn’t easy, but the hard work over the past few years is beginning to pay off. Mark-Henning is now a sought-after producer and remixer in the underground scene and his DJing has taken him around the world. He’s performed in the US, Canada, Japan, Russia, Australia and all over Europe – and now also holds a residency at ‘Home’ near Frankfurt in Germany. Having released his debut album on the legendary UK label Soma Recorings in the summer of 2008 to great acclaim, he’ll now be concentrating on further solo work and new collaborations, as well as touring his live PA.
