| Age: | 53 | | Background: | Syco (formerly Simon Mark/Symark) began DJing in 1989, putting on parties and playing at local events. In 1990, he got his first record deal with Ozone Recordings, releasing the singles Say Aaagh! - which received plays by the late John Peel and sold 3000 units - and Hit Me (under the name Dr. Dream) - which was supported by Josh Wink.
Things really began to happen in 1992 when Sy formed DOA (Dance On Arrival), landing a record deal with cult Drum & Bass label Boogie Beat. 2 singles, I Like It and Muppet Mayhem, were well received in the rave scene, with plays from the likes of Ratty and Carl Cox.
In 1993 Sy co-formed Another Dimension, a project that spawned two labels Wardance Records and Red Seal Records. Red Seal notched up a major club smash with the Afterlife EP by 39 Orbits - which was championed by Sasha and reached the top 20 in the Mixmag, DJ Magazine and Cool Cuts charts. Sy continued to DJ until his last gig in 1997, it was time for a break!
2006/7 and Sy made a DJ comeback under the new name of Syco. DOA's 1992 classic novelty rave tune Muppet Mayhem was remixed and released thru the Sonic Fortress label.
Over the last 5 years, Sy has organised the club stage for the Eastern Haze festivals, run the Whomp and Techno Value parties, and continues to DJ regularly (hard techno as Syco, and house in a cheeky nod to his earlier Symark days as Prymark). | | Birthday: | 8th November 1970 | | Job: | DJ, promoter | | Location: | Norfolk | | Male / Female: | Male | | Marital Status: | Married | | Music Preferences | Funky Techno, Techno. |
