This article is about Dance Island 2009 @ a secret location in Cambridge (UK), Sat 04 Jul

K90 is a name that needs little introduction. He is a DJ, Producer & record label owner. Famous for his amazing dj sets & live PAs here is the lowdown on the guy before his set at this years Dance Island festival.

Mark Doggett, one of two original founder members of the then little known KA90, began making noise and upsetting the neighbours from a makeshift studio in his kitchen back in the summer of 1991!

Fast forward well over a decade and K90 is now an internationally recognized and highly respected producer, performer and DJ with a fan base touching many countries around the world.

Famed for his enthusiastic and energetic stage presence K90 has performed at many of the worlds premier dance events, in both live and DJ capacities including 'Godskitchen - Global Gathering', 'Creamfields', 'SW4' and 'Tidy Weekender' series (UK), 'Dance Valley' and 'Q-Base International Dance Festival' (The Netherlands), the long running 'Advent*jah' Festival (Australia), The Gallery (South Africa) and 'Checkpoint Charlie' (New Zealand) to name but a few.

Combine these performance credits with regular headline slots at some of the UK's biggest clubs such as 'Polysexual', 'Frantic', 'Slinky', Wildchild' and 'Goodgreef' and you are faced with what is now an award winning (‘Best Live Act’ - 2008 Hard Dance Awards) global brand.

Credited for his numerous productions, releases and remixes K90 is responsible for creating the clubland phenomenon that is 'Red Snapper' - arguably one of the most renowned harder dance tracks ever made!

Not content merely with single releases Mark also boasts five artist albums (K90, Urban Anthems, The Inner Limits, Destinations and CRASH!) and three DJ compilations (Recoverworld 2 - Sub Culture, Wildchild and Recoverworld 3 - The Classics) to an ever increasing production portfolio fueling the opinion that K90 remains one of the hottest names in dance music today!

Following on from a long and fruitful relationship with long time record label 'Recover Records' Mark's love affair with the dance music industry continued to grow with the launch of his own label 'Dataless Recordings' imprint in 2004.

With the label project now in its fifth year this greater challenge has given an artist whose name and reputation are already synonymous with quality, license to develop the K90 Empire even further.

Entering the latest chapter of K90 evolution, Mark recently launched a brand new global radio show - Destinations, which looks to showcase the most up front material from K90 HQ as well as the hottest new material on offer from his now, critically acclaimed record label - Dataless Recordings.

Dont miss out on seeing K90 on the Mr Whippy & Roobarb stage at Dance Island on Saturday 4th July.
