Originally from Scotland, Mark Oliver is presently based in Toronto and his influence on the electronic music industry is a profound one. Coming from a strong musical background, Mark exploded on the club scene as a DJ in 1987 with his first residency at Tazmanian Ballroom in Toronto. Within a short year, demand for his sound had spread to Miami where he played at Scratch (South Beach, Miami’s very first night devoted to house music). Mark pioneered the rave movement in Canada, being the the first DJ to play acid house and techno nights in 1988, as well as co-founding North America’s first rave organisation, Exodus. During his 19 year residency at The Guvernment, Mark incredibly missed only 10 nights (while touring Asia and Europe). His legendary 9 hour weekly sets helped propel the club to it's place as a top worldwide clubbing destination. Throughout his storied career, Mark has played from China to Ibiza on land, sea, and the occasional cave.
