Hello!
39, living in deepest darkest Norfolk, with my wife Liz (Honeypot).
Biog
Syco (formerly Simon Mark/Symark) began DJing in 1989, putting on parties and playing at local events. In 1990, he got his first record deal with Ozone Recordings, releasing the singles Say Aaagh! - which received plays by the late John Peel and sold 3000 units - and Hit Me (under the name Dr. Dream) - which was supported by Josh Wink.
Things really began to happen in 1992 when Sy formed Dance On Arrival (DOA) - DJing around East Anglia (with MC Contagious and dancers), and landing a record deal with cult Drum & Bass label Boogie Beat. 2 singles, I Like It and Muppet Mayhem, were well received in the rave scene, with plays from the likes of Ratty and Carl Cox. Later on, DOA changed musical direction (all things house rather than d&b/jungle). Contagious was replaced by MC Muzzy, a second DJ (DJ Dance) was drafted in, and new dancers combined to create an exciting DJ show - which delighted crowds around the country.
In 1993 Sy and Dance (with Muppet Mayhem co-producer Keef Genis) formed Another Dimension, a project that spawned two labels Wardance Records (for jungle) and Red Seal Records (house). Red Seal notched up a major club smash with the Afterlife EP by 39 Orbits - which was championed by Sasha and reached the top 20 in the Mixmag, DJ Magazine and Cool Cuts charts. Sy continued to DJ until his last gig in 1997, it was time for a break!
2006/7 and Sy made a DJ comeback under the new name of Syco. DOA's 1992 classic novelty rave tune Muppet Mayhem was remixed and released thru the Sonic Fortress label. Sy assisted his wife, Liz, in the running of the Club Stage of the Eastern Haze festival.
Last year Liz and Sy launched a new freelance brand, Whomp. Also, Sy has a new live show - a mix of original material with DJ sets, in a banging laptop and decks show with new production partner - Spacestrings!
