Biography of Mark Almaria

At some point during any conversation about top DJs of the Midwest electronic music scene you are guaranteed to hear the name Mark Almaria. This showstopper is a Midwest mainstay for a reason. His precise, action-packed mixing style is often imitated, never duplicated. Constantly working double copies of records while incorporating fader tricks and scratches, he is able to perform flawless on-the-fly remixes providing the audience with a treat for the ears and the eyes. Combining feel-good house vibes with a no-nonsense approach to DJing, Mark has proven his skills time and again, cementing his place among Chicago‘s DJ elite.

Mark has made hundreds of DJ performances and countless mixtape / cd appearances in boom boxes and car stereos since the mid 90’s. A prominent figure in the in the Midwest rave scene, Mark is no stranger to the Chicago club scene either. He has performed at most of the Windy City’s premier venues including Crobar, Karma, Metro, Red Dog, Rednofive, Shelter, and Vision as well as holding down residencies at Convent, Dock 5, and Paladrome. In addition to playing across the US, Mark has had recent DJ gigs in Bolivia, China, Costa Rica, and Hong Kong.

While he has spent many years perfecting his mixing technique, Mark now has ventured into music production. Although only releasing his first records in 2002, he is already making waves as one of the next generation’s top producers. Mark’s “Abstract Beatdown EP” on IHR has caught the attention (and record box space) of many DJ heavyweights including Bad Boy Bill, Charles Feelgood, Donald Glaude, and DJ Dan. One track from the EP, “The Alarm” has been licensed for the 'KS02' mix compilation by Detroit techno legend Kevin Saunderson. Mark also has released several tracks on the hot new Bunchlox Music imprint. His latest release on Bunchlox, “Uh Huh” is also getting big-name support from DJs such as DJ Heather, J-Dub, Mark Farina, Miles Maeda, and Yousef. Be on the lookout for upcoming releases on Boulevard Status, Faded, and Funktech. Mark has also recently completed his first licensed mix compilation for Aphrodisio Recordings scheduled for release in 2004. These are only the sparks of what looks to become a towering inferno. Stay tuned as this Chicago favorite continues to take his show international.

Comment: Was very pleased to find this old school gem from Mark Almaria. The bitrate of the set is 192kbps - unfortunately there is some noticeable hissing goin' on in the background. This was obviously a tape converted to mp3. The track selection is OUTSTANDING and is a great example of how the younger but older Mark USED to throw down. Straight up funky funky Chicago house straight from the source. I highly recommend house heads to give this a listen as you will NEVER hear Mark play beats like these EVER AGAIN. What a shame :
