    their own biography

    the whole biography
    theoretic is Jersey-raised, Brooklyn-based DJ, producer, educator, & event curator entrenched in the beating heart of Brooklyn's underground music scene. Their sonic craft spans a fusion of House, Techno, Disco, NY Garage, Soul, & Black club music without limits, across borders. Whether spinning via digital waveforms, or from their vast record collection, their style is a symphonic medley that compels even the most restrained feet to move. theoretic currently holds residencies at beloved club ANIMAL, and a monthly radio show at Hi-Note Radio. They created the long-standing party series "House Anatomy" at Jupiter Disco for their former residency, and is now the creator & curator of an online DJ interview series "SCRIMMAGE." They've played for crowds at acclaimed venues such as Elsewhere, Eavesdrop, Le Bain, Good Room, Outer Heaven, Mood Ring, Nowadays, Earthly Delights, Cafe Erzulie, Soho House, & beyond. theoretic has also spread their talents internationally; they've contributed an all-vinyl set for the series My Analog Journal, played for the Hamburg festival Kampnagel, and shared decks with legends from A Guy Called Gerald, to Stacey "Hotwaxx" Hale. In addition, theoretic's music has been featured on acclaimed compilations, namely, "IYKYK" via the Brooklyn label Air Texture, that DJ Mag ranked as one of their "best compilations of 2024" their song mentioned as "the best tracks are the ones that feel like they are twisting genres inside out. On theoretic’s ‘Lucky LaWanda’, they take the icy melody of 8-bit grime and lay it over funky, swung house drum programming." They've also released on Madrid-based label, Others to the Front's first compilation, and in March of 2025, they released their first EP, Eponymous EP.  To experience theoretic's fearlessly creative attitude, spend time inside their encyclopedic, yet unpretentious mixes; they've been featured on The Lot Radio, Balamii Radio, Newtown Radio, Lower Grand Radio, Playground Radio, & more. Their sonic odyssey breaks norms & melds genres; their goal is to be timeless.
    Their RA profile lists Air Texture and Others To The Front.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    A familiar face across Brooklyn and Manhattan’s queer club circuit, Mark has brought his sharp, feel-good energy to parties The Carry Nation and HARDER along with appearances at Good Room, ANIMAL, Paragon, H0L0 and more. Raised in West Virginia and forged in New York’s nightlife underground, Mark’s sound sits at the intersection of pop, disco, and house infused with the kind of emotional immediacy and playful nostalgia that keep dancers locked in from start to finish. He’s known for bridging eras and moods with an effortless hand, pairing a ‘90s remix with a fresh club edit or a deep house groove with a hands-up anthem. Mark’s journey began in the early 2000s, promoting at iconic West Side clubs before finding his true home behind the decks. Over the years, he’s become a go-to DJ for both underground ragers and high-profile brand events, trusted for his ability to read a room, move a crowd, and build a vibe that feels both stylish and spontaneous. Whether he’s closing out a late-night warehouse set or soundtracking a downtown launch party, Mark brings a distinctly New York approach: bold, magnetic, and rooted in connection. His mission is simple: make people move, keep them feeling good, and remind them why this city still dances like nowhere else on earth.
