Inspired by Britain’s iconic rave scene in the early ‘90s, Mark Holmes has followed the evolutionary life cycle of dance music across the last three decades. From breakbeat to progressive and tribal house, he cites his earlier influences as the likes of Sasha, Digweed, Deep Dish and many other seminal names in electronic music.

Mark’s exposure during the early years of his love affair with dance music was more fruit-bearing than he ever could have fathomed. His level of exposure blossomed with the aid of international guest mixes that saw him broadcasted on pretty much every major continent on the planet.

Just like his influences, Mark is still flying the flag for authentic electronic artists some three decades later. Having played in venues across the globe that most artists at Mark’s level could only ever dream of, his career has seen him support the likes of Nick Warren, Hernan Cattaneo, James Zabiela, Lee Burridge, Matthew Dekay and more.

After a hiatus from the industry, Mark returned to continue his blossoming career and pick up where he left off. Turning his focus to production, he is slowly building a collection of works inspired by his journey through clubland over the years to have signed and supported by his long-standing industry peers.

Marking his return to the music industry, Mark started his ‘Been a while’ podcast series which has steadily grown in popularity and has helped to put him back on the map. He also holds a late-night residency in the North East of England and has featured on the lineup for the infamous Cuckoo Land at Ibiza Rocks this summer.

With an ever-growing arsenal of personal productions and gathering attention from some of the major player brands both in the UK and Ibiza, Mark Holmes is a name that you will no doubt be hearing a lot more of in the not too distant future.
