Mark Doc - My Year In Hard Dance

What's been your biggest achievement of the year?

This year has to be making my debut for Goodgreef down at Digital in Newcastle, my first gig in England. I've played for them before at the massive Parklife festival in Scotland but heading down south was speacial!

What moments will you never forget?

Playing a 2 hour Hardstyle set after Luna at Inside Out in January, the club was absolutely rammed and the clubbers already goin crazy! The generators cutting out at Parklife, i was in the Goodgreef arena and Showtek were on at the time and it was bloody scary! Thank god they got them up and running again!

Who's been your favourite newcomer of the year?

Joe E is making a huge name at the moment along with the likes of Louk, Busho & Brian Eddie, who done an amazing remix of one of my tracks 'Jager Bomb'. I'm also really enjoying the stuff Gary Maguire is churning out at the moment!

Who's been the artist of the year for you?

Ahh way to many to mention here! Headhunterz sticks out for me as i've played alongside him a few times now and every time his sets have been awesome! Got to mention Kidd Kaos, the boy is just an absolute wizard in the studio and great to watch aswell! Not to mention Kutski who is just simply a genius one the decks!

What's been your favourite label of the year?

Again far to many to mention! K450, Detox, CGI, Riot, Traffic, Trancefuzion, Theracords Activa, Dutch Master Works.....the list goes on.

What do you think has been the best track of the year?

At the moment it has to be Neal Thomas - Pyrotechno! Previous to that i was hammering out Kidd Kaos Vs SMG - Schranz Mezcla and Kutski Vs BRK3 - 4th Dimension everywhere i played.

What's been your favourite event of the year?

It's a very close call between Parklife and the Atomik weekender. Parklife was such a good event and the sun was splitting the sky on the day which made it even better! I have to go with Atomik though for the simple reason it was over 3 days and each day was brilliant! Infact the whole weekend was just madness from start to end! roll on Atomik 3 :)

What's the funniest thing that's happened to you?

Got to be when i played a friends night in Glasgow called Euphoric and i accidentally stood on the power extension (twice) which just so happened to be powering the full DJ set up lol it was rather close though :P

What do you have planned for the next year?

Hitting the studio big time! Already managed to get 3 tracks signed that i done with my good mate Andy McGirr who is a very promising producer!! Just plan to work hard in the studio and try play as many gigs as possible!
