There’s a lot to be said about DeMarko! He was born in Montreal Canada and has been spinning for over 30 years! He guarantees the world of club-goers a remarkable experience wherever his talents take him hence the “exclamation mark” after his name. He’s a very stylized and accomplished Dj, remixer and producer. Across the city, across the Atlantic as far away as Israel, down past the equator to the country of Brazil, he sears through nights in a blaze of hottest vibrant vocal house and vivid tribal music! His seamless mixes are never duplicated with his vast array of "unattainable" and rare accapellas, bringing new sound to old music and a new life to packed clubs and circuit parties across the globe.
If you haven't had the privilege to hear him spin live, chances are you've heard one or several of his remixes for artists such as the lead singer of Sound Garden Chris Cornell, Jody Watley, Deborah Cox, Jason Walker, Brian Kent, Matt Zarley, Heather Leigh West, Inaya Day, Taylor Dayne, Suzanne Palmer, Angie Stone, Ace Of Base and Ultra Nate to name a few as they say. And it does not stop there! DeMarko! is a leader and trendsetter. The "1st" in a line of many. He was chosen as the first gay Dj to go on an international tour to promote the “1st” Global Groove CD in a series with other Dj’s such as Tony Moran, David Knapp, Alex Lauterstein, Kimberly S, Mark Anthony who were all to follow in DeMarko!s footsteps. Soon after returning from a gig in Ibiza back in 2001, he implemented the "in-store Dj" in New York shortly after 9-11 at the Armani Exchange Store in SoHo bringing some much-needed life back to the surrounding area with Ground Zero in such proximity. Its positive effects grew to more stores, he handled all booking for Dj’s in the New York area, and it then spread across the country to stores in Miami, Chicago and L.A.
DeMarko! has headlined events such as The Black & Blue Festival in Montreal, Carnival in Rio and Sao Paulo Brazil, Winter Party in Miami & the Ascension Weekend Party in Fire Island. But the moment he holds closest to his heart was when he received the call that he was to headline New York City's 2005 Gay Pride 20th Anniversary
"DANCE ON THE PIER" for which he was the event's first black Dj in its 20 year history.
In 2009, DeMarko! has hit the Billboard Dance Chart hard with a handful of remixes and it’s his current hit on Tommyboy Records “DROP A HOUSE” that was the #5 BREAKOUT & HOT SHOT DEBUT and is about to enter the top 10. It was picked up by Dj’s Junior Vasquez and Wagne G for their current CD compilations. DeMarko!s second CD/DVD entitled "Hustlaball" which is was remixed and produced by DeMarko! with all exclusive previously unreleased tracks. He has spun at Hustlaball in Berlin, Barcelona, Las Vegas and New York, and was named the official Dj for Hustlaball in the U.S. and Germany. DeMarko! also contributes his time and gives back to the community by donating his talents to the Gay & Lesbian Center & The Rivington House (a caring environment for people living with AIDS). Other clients include Interview Magazine, Diane Von Furstenberg, Starbucks, Addidas, David Barton Gym, The Tom of Finland Foundation and holds residencies at New York hot spots Splash Bar, KRASH and Gym Bar as well as several regular guest spots around the country. His third remix CD will be released this fall on Centaur Entertainment.
