DJ/producer Mark Knight recently won the Icon Award at the 2024 Electronic Dance Music Awards in Miami. The owner of Toolroom Records, which celebrated its 20th anniversary last year, the label has been a launching pad for many artists since its 2003 inception.
Thanks to Knight's approach to the label’s releases and his production, his remix work has also been pivotal, reinventing tracks like Avicii's ‘My Feelings For You’, giving it new life for a modern audience.
Mark Knight (talking to EDM.com): “My entire career in music has been driven by my love of music. That's why I got into it and why I’m still doing it today. For me, it was never about awards, but the fact that people have recognised my passion and contribution to music is incredibly overwhelming. I'd like to say a huge thank you to the EDMAs and to each and every person who has supported me throughout my career."
With a career that stretches across three decades, highlighted by his work as a DJ, producer, and the force behind the label, his journey is marked by significant milestones and a drive to push the boundaries of house music.
Founded in 2003, Toolroom Records has been a possible beacon for innovation in event organisation, radio broadcasting, and musical education. Its weekly radio series, Toolroom Radio, apparently has an audience of over 16 million listeners.
