• Worldwide Resident for one of the biggest names in Electronic Music - Godskitchen
• Played 4 consecutive UK Global Gatherings, opening and closing the main arena to over 12,000 clubbers.
• Playing shows everywhere from a Cruise-liner in Sweden, 1 million people Street Parade’s in Switzerland, Open Air festivals in Russia, International Exhibition Centres in the Ukraine, Indoor Raves in Belarus to Futuristic Eastern Superclubs in Shanghai.
• Compiled and mixed two Godskitchen albums for worldwide sales online and in high street stores; Trance Anthems and the first ever residents compilation Godskitchen Underground.
Mark’s insatiable studio creativity has gathered him support from a who’s who of the dance music scene, whether it be from his debut release “Atlantic” in Paul van Dyk’s Essential mix, the 6-week consecutive running stint of his “Cherry Whip” bootleg on Judge Jules’ BBC Radio One Show or notching the coveted number one spot on Beatport and iTunes feature of “The Hymn” with classical singers Zirenz on Anjunabeats, which went on to become one of the labels most successful tunes of the year.
Mark’s radio personality has grown from the humble beginnings of a 3-year University Radio Show through to guest slots at Ministry of Sound and all the way to where he is now, having not one but two Godskitchen Radio shows under his belt on a monthly basis, an exclusive Afterhours.fm show and not forgetting the hugely successful Highway Radio Show and Podcast whose army of fans download it on a fortnightly basis. At last count, across the 4 shows he produces, compiles and presents, Mark’s estimated listenership tops the 1 million mark. Now that really is something to broadcast about!
Spinning off from the Radio presenting led Mark to be the voiceover choice for Angel Music Group events such as Escape Into the Park and Global Gathering. Mark has appeared on numerous television adverts for the events as the official voiceover artist for the UK’s biggest dance music festivals. Out of the studio however, Mark has also been the official presenter for various Gods TV broadcasts for events at the Birmingham superclub. Mark also starred in documentary series "Behind the Dancefloor", filming alongside Judge Jules and tracking the progress of DJs in the music scene at different levels in their careers.
Armin van Buuren: “Mark is one of those DJ’s that fully understands trance and made it his own. A Mark Eteson labelled production always gets me excited because he understands the essence of trance.”
Above & Beyond: "Mark's a constant feature in TATW, has played incredible sets with us on tour and little known to most, is also an amazing magician!"
Gareth Emery: “It's been great to see Mark develop both as producer and DJ over the past few years - I can see him at the top before too long!"
Judge Jules: “As reliable as a German Train!”

Mark Eteson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wir Kommen Um Uns Zu Beschweren
Ich Habe Geträumt, Ich Wäre Pizza Essen Mit Mark E
Ich habe geträumt, ich wäre Pizza essen mit Mark E. Smith
Natürlich hat er mir erzählt wie scheußlich alles ist
Wir haben geredet und gesessen, fast die ganze Nacht
Am Ende hat er mir erzählt wie man Platten macht
Ich selbst hätte nie daran gedacht
The lyrics to Mark Eteson's song "Blackboard" tell a story of a dream the singer had where they were eating pizza with Mark E. Smith, the frontman of the post-punk band The Fall. In the dream, Smith tells the singer about how terrible everything is, and they spend most of the night talking and sitting together. The dream ends with Smith telling the singer how to make records, a process that the singer had never considered before. The dream is described as if it actually happened, with the singer saying they "spent the night" with Smith.
The lyrics can be interpreted as a commentary on the creative process, with Smith representing the epitome of artistic rebellion and individuality. The dream sequence is a metaphorical journey to the heart of independent music-making, and Smith serves as a guide. By the end of the dream, the singer has been given the tools and insight to create something new outside of the norm.
