Marcos Bio:
Marcos, real name Mark Dearden, is established as one of the UK's best know Trance producers. Having written and remixed a staggering number of tracks over the years, he has forged himself an excellent reputation as a top quality producer, remixer and DJ.
As a DJ, mark has performed world wide at all of the biggest events including GodsKitchen, Gatecrasher, Passion, Dance Valley, Slinky, Inside Out, GoodGreef, Promise, The Gallery, Escape, Peach, Slide and many more. Performances in Indonesia, Egypt, Turkey, Holland, Germany, Poland, Ibiza, Canada, Ukraine and not forgetting all over the UK, are just a small example of how far and wide his music has appealed.
In terms of production, Cosmicstring can be considered one of the most successful trancers of the past few years. Originally signed to Blue Print Audio in the UK, it was quickly picked up and signed to then world no.1 DJ Paul Van Dyk's Vandit Records, and was PVD's track of the year 2005. The B-side to this, Just For A Day was also a big success in it’s own right, featuring in many top DJ’s playlists and appearing on scores of compilation albums.
In 2006, Marcos - Ad Infinitum, was signed to Armin Van Buuren's A State Of Trance label, and Mark has also remixed several Apogee tracks for the same imprint. The follow up to Cosmicstring, Summer Solstice, was also signed to Vandit and his work has appeared on Drizzly, Druck, Captivating Sounds, Combined Forces, Cloud 9 Dance, Instant Music, Lange Recordings, Nu Life, 90 Degrees North, Bulletproof and too many more to list.
2007 saw Marcos launch his own label, Kerf Music, with his track ‘Time To Believe’ and sign exclusively to Cloud 9 Dance in Holland. Time To Believe was a hit with the major DJ’s across the world, with numerous compilation licenses before the official release date and appeared on DJ Scot Project’s cover CD for a major dance music magazine. Mark also remixed Tantra – Blitz to great acclaim, being played on John Askew’s Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1 and appearing on several compilations around the globe.
In 2008 Marcos – Reality scaled the trance charts heights reaching no.5 in the Beatport download chart and staying in the top 10 for several weeks on many of the biggest download stores. Tiesto was a big supporter of the track, playing it repeatedly on his radio show, and with many other top DJ’s giving it a massive reaction. The track was also licensed to numerous CD compilations. Mark’s remix of Kiholm – Journey into Love was picked up by John O’Callaghan and licensed to his DJ Compilation album for Armada Music and also appeared on GodsKitchen’s 10th Anniversary CD Compilation.
Mark decided 2008 was the time was right to revisit Cosmicstring, this time teaming up with Emi Jarvi who worked on Jon O’Bir’s album on Vandit, and produced a vocalised remix ready to explode in early 2009 on Combined Forces/Cloud 9 Dance.
Other high profile projects include remixes for Ian Van Dahl, Dumonde, DJ Scot Project, Talla 2XLC, Andy Bagguley, Mike Robbins, JK Walker, Des Mitchel, Divine Inspiration and Svenson. With Mark’s tracks licensed to hundreds of compilations across the world and radio sessions as well, Mark's ability to light up hi-fi' speakers as well as dance floors is unquestionable.
