After DJing for the UK's biggest rave parties (Helter Skelter, Dreamscape etc) and working for a variety of prestigious techno imprints (Re:Load, GPR and Proper Records), Mark became A+R for dance music giant Bonzai Records. He also turned his hand to journalism, editing cult rave magazine Eternity, Wax Magazine and Tilllate Magazine. He now owns Core Magazine. He also ran one of the UK's biggest online music stores, Beatbucket. Mark EG's Music School is his most recent project.
