Hier noch ein paar Infos über DJ MK:
DJ MK is one of the UK's leading Hip Hop deejays. He has been a favourite on the club scene for the last 10 years, displaying his turntable dexterity up and down the UK and throughout Europe, Australia and the United States. What sets MK apart from many of his peers is his ability to rock a crowd wherever he plays, be it London's Ministry Of Sound, an Underground UK Hip Hop Jam, Pacha in Ibiza or an Arctic Monkeys after-party. MK was the first UK DJ to release regular, well-packaged Hip Hop mixtapes at a time when no other DJ was doing so. These mix tapes earned him his props and a slot on the Capital rap show with Tim Westwood from '93Š'95. His mixtapes are now sold all over the world. The man has done it all from providing cuts on various tracks for the likes of Roots Manuva, Dido, Jehst, Skitz and Lewis Parker to promoting London's premier Hip Hop jams ('The Hop' and 'Live & Direct').
MK held down one of the most popular shows on London based Hip Hop station Itch FM for four years before being headhunted by Kiss FM. He joined the station in May 2004, initially hosting their Thursday night Hip Hop show alongside DJ Skully. Providing the very best in upfront Hip Hop from the U.S. & the UK, the show is essential listening. Guests have included Outkast, Ludacris, Nas, Erykah Badu, The Game, Sway, Kidz In The Hall, Marley Marl, Rev Run, DJ Shadow, Lupe Fiasco, Russell Simmons, Jehst, LL Cool J, Roots Manuva, The Beatnuts, Young Jeezy, Boot Camp Clik, Kyza, Maseo, DJ Babu, Pharoahe Monch, Skinnyman and Madlib. MK continues to tour the world as Roots Manuva's DJ and is also a member of the powerhouse DJ crew Extended Players, alongside Shortee Blitz, Mr Thing and Harry Love. He judged the DMC UK & World finals between '95-'04, helping to determine the outcome of winners such as DJ's Craze, A-Trak, Plus One and Tony Vegas.
He was behind the homegrown Hip Hop anthem 'It's All Live' on Stonegroove Recordings, has released two volumes of his 'London Underground' mix CD's to great acclaim and recently he compiled & mixed 'Bangers & Mash Vol. 2' (out now on Boombox). MK's mixtape buzz led him to ink a deal with Antidote / Sanctuary Records for his first official album 'Above Board'. Out now, the album boasts 100% exclusive tracks from the cream of the UK Hip Hop scene and received great reviews and radio support across the board. The first single to be lifted from the album was the DJ MK & Fallacy club banger 'My Show', which also finds MK weighing in with his debut production credit. The hilarious video for the track enjoyed heavy rotation on MTV, MTV Base and Channel U.
