Based in Belfast, Northern Ireland, Mark Porter is a DJ and producer aiming to push the boundaries of techno by creating something new, whilst still maintaining the atmospheric and energetic sounds he grew up listening to. Inspired by a wide range of electronic genres in the early 2000’s, Mark is an artist who is heavily influenced by years spent on the dance floors at clubs and festivals across Europe. With the spirit of community and the essence of dance music culture still driving him, Mark continues his mission whilst keeping a smile on his face and an open mind.

Sum up this podcast in 10 words…
Raw, energetic and powerful Techno with a hint of old school

What’s your personal favourite track on it?
I love 2023 remaster of Cave’s Street Carnival. The energy is insane, it really takes me back to the sound that really got me into electronic music

What’s the special ingredient in this mix?
That old-school/tribal vibe in there really adds something extra to the raw and hypnotic techno sound

Tell us about your next EP?
I can’t give away too many details but i’ve just signed a new EP to be released in the coming months, so keep an eye out!

What have you got coming up?
I have a massive collab with one of my favourite artists coming up in August as well as a brand new EP shortly after that.

And finally, do you have a special message for our readers?
Thank you all for the love and support for my music in the last year – it’s meant a lot to me to see it being played all over the world. Keep raving, keep dancing and keep spreading the love of Techno!
