About Mark Knight

Not to be confused with, the similarly named, video games and Chiptune composer - Mark 'TDK' Knight. 1) Mark Knight is head of Toolroom Records & a UK DJ / producer. He has stamped his impression on the scene of electronic dance music - through a string of releases & parties - highlighting his label. Often collaborating with fellow British DJ Funkagenda, Mark has been at the forefront of commercial house, techno & tech house. Some of his most successful releases are Man With The Red Face (with Funkagenda), Downpipe (with Underworld & D. Ramirez) & an Underworld rework - Beautiful Burnout (Mark Knight Remix). 2) LA Guitarist Mark Knight's first band was this band called Krude Witch and at sixteen or seventeen played The Troubadour and all the major clubs in Hollywood. Opened up for W.A.S.P. and Ratt. Then that band disbanded, and he put this band together Mickey Knight. It was right around ’84-’85 and the scene was pulsing, all the hair bands. So, Poison, Ratt, all those bands were selling out and the whole scene was starting — and really the Sunset Strip scene was starting to happen. Mickey Knight never got a record deal, but he went on to do City Slick, and then eventually Bang Tango.
