Mark Quail is techno producer, DJ and record label manager from Toronto, Canada. After a come-to-Jesus moment hearing Ken Collier knock out a night of house music through an amazing sound system in a Detroit club in the 1990s, this former punk rock guitarist and music critic jumped into electronic music and never looked back.
That initial inspiration from Detroit has always informed his tastes in underground electronic music and that feeling still shows up in his productions today: the raw, hypnotic vibe of the underground warehouse party scene in all its permutations, whether that be the abandoned buildings in his hometown or the dark, loud clubs of Berlin. His search continues for those transcendent moments amongst the strobe-lights and the well-tuned sound systems. His record releases include tracks on Black Nation Records, Dumb Unit, LETS Techno, Frequenza, Third Ear, Deep Tip and his own label Secret Weapon Records.
