Mark Verbos
Milwaukee/Chicago/Berlin/New York
Ignoring traditional values and established methods for creating a career in
music has taken Mark Verbos on a journey unlike any other producer, DJ, engineer
or recording artists. Mark's interest in music began at a vary young age when
he began playing instruments and reading music at the age of 5. As a teenager,
his interest turned to electronic music and he began playing live sets at Drop
Bass Network parties in 1993. By the mid 90's he had released several EPs of
his own and began working, as an engineer, in a professional Chicago recording
studio. He worked on every imaginable music style, specializing in electronic
dance music, with clients including Farley Jackmaster Funk, Ralphie Rosario,
Mike Dunn, M Doc, Braxton Holmes, Vince Lawrence and The Final Cut. At this
time, Mark started his own label, Simple Answer. In the year 2000 he moved to
Berlin to further persue his personal DJ and recording career. he toured throughout
Europe as well as Australia. In 2003 Mark moved back to the US, this time to
New York and has continued to record and produce other artists, in addition
to his own music. His work with Tommie Sunshine is of particular note, having
produced more than 50 remixes and several EPs together under the names Binge
& Purge and simply Tommie Sunshine. Since 2005 Mark has returned
to playing live shows, completely improvised, using nothing but the analog hardware
he used way back in 1993. He has received critical acclaim for performances
in Miami, Chicago, Detroit, Berlin, Amsterdam, New York and many other cities.
