DJ, Producer, Remixer, and label owner Mark Picchiotti is now hitting the 20 year mark in the music industry. During that time, he has held residencies at many of Chicago’s hottest clubs like, CROBAR, SHELTER and SOUNDBAR, and has played at legendary, world-renown venues like HEAVEN, MINISTRY OF SOUND, STEREO, & PASHA.

Mark was recently nominated as one of the 40 MOST Influential Remixers of all time. His 100+ remixes have included Madonna, Mariah Carey, Enrique Iglesias, Erasure, Jamiroquai, and Kylie Minogue among others.   

Mark has written and produced songs for 2 of Kylie Minogue’s recent albums (Light Years and Fever). Additionally, he is responsible for the UK top 10 pop hit “Runnin’” by Basstoy, and he is the mastermind behind gospel house act The Absolute featuring Suzanne Palmer, which is now being resurrected on his label Blueplate Records.

Mark’s astute DJing credo has always been“…if you’re in it for yourself then the audience loses and if you’re in it for the audience then you lose –  you constantly have to check the pulse of the dancefloor and enjoy the challenge of pushing and pleasing it.”
