The natural progression of any spiritual journey takes you to a higher plane. DJ/Producer/Remixer and Writer Mark Picchiotti pilots that plane.

Mark's "fuel" is his symbiotic relationship with the decks, now passing the 20 year mark. During that time, he has held residencies at many of Chicago's hottest clubs like SHELTER, SMART BAR, SOUNDBAR, BERLIN, and, CROBAR and he travels the globe spinning his signature sound everywhere from MINISTRY OF SOUND (UK), PACHA (Portugal), EL DIVINO (Ibiza) and CROBAR (various) to the PAVILION on Fire Island. Additionally, Mark is a 4 time veteran of Chicago’s largest Circuit event FIREBALL. As an added Kudos, his solid DJ reputation was highlighted with a request from JANET JACKSON to DJ her private, album launch party.

Mark was recently voted one of the 40 most influential remixers of all time. With over 200+ remixes to his credit his remix discography reads like a who's who of international pop superstardom including, MADONNA, MARIAH CAREY, PET SHOP BOYS, ENRIQUE IGLESIAS and MARY J. BLIGE to name a few... All of which went to #1 on the Billboard Dance Chart!

Mark's production career started 18 years ago with the LaTOUR album which spawned the top 40 hit "People Are Still Having Sex" and from the same album "Blue" which was used in the movie "Basic Instinct" during the steamy club scenes. As a much sought after producer Mark more recently produced and co-wrote the song "Give it to me" for KYLIE MINOGUE on her 8x Platinum FEVER album, and produced the song "Butterfly" from the LIGHT YEARS album. Additionally, he is responsible for producing and writing the UK top 10 pop hit "Runnin" by BASSTOY, and Mark is the mastermind behind gospel house act THE ABSOLUTE featuring SUZANNE PALMER. A force to be reckoned with Mark has contributed many classic hits to the club world over the last 18 years.

The last 12 months have seen Mark remixing 15 artists including GEORGE MICHAEL, ENRIQUE IGLESIAS (again) and KYLIE MINOGUE and producing 5 of his own original productions, including his recent BASSTOY follow up 'Turn It Up" which just went to #1 on the UK National Club Chart. BASSTOY is exploding worldwide and is Mark's 2nd international hit for this act.
