The Dance DJ

DJ Mark-e-Ting your Dorset, Devon and West Country DJ

Performance-led dance sets that keep people moving, staying longer and enjoying the night.

I’m Mark, better known here as DJ Mark-e-Ting. I’ve spent years in marketing obsessing over what makes people lean in, trust you, and take action. DJing is the same craft, just with a different language: rhythm, tension, release, and timing.

I specialise in dance, EDM, classic club anthems and house, plus music from the 80s until now, but remixed to a dance rhythm – a real unique sound and experience. Think warm bass, bright hooks, and that moment when the beat lands and the whole room moves as one.

I’m all about the performance set. I’m not “open format” or musical wallpaper. I’m there to create that sweaty, electric feeling where the lights blur a little, the kick drum feels like a heartbeat, and the room turns into one moving crowd.

What matters most to me is connection. When you get the right track at the right moment, it feels like you’ve lit a spark under the whole night. That win-win energy is what I’m chasing every time I step up to the decks.

If you want a set that’s built, not shuffled, send me your event details and I’ll come back with a plan and a vibe check.

ENERGY

Energy is the spark that gets a room moving, and I’m intentional about how I create it. I’ll start with the right temperature for the crowd, then steadily turn the dial, track by track, until the dancefloor feels alive. Think of it like warming up an engine on a cold morning, you don’t slam the pedal, you build heat, confidence, and momentum until everyone’s in it together.

FLOW

Flow is what makes a set feel effortless, like the music is carrying you rather than stopping and starting. I mix with phrasing in mind, so transitions feel natural, tension rises at the right moments, and the night keeps its shape. It’s a bit like a great conversation: no awkward interruptions, just a smooth back-and-forth where one moment leads perfectly into the next.

IMPACT

Impact is the moment people remember on the way home, the drop that lands, the hook that lifts the room, the grin that spreads when the timing is just right. I’m not here to shuffle tracks, I’m here to create those peak moments while still keeping the bigger journey intact. If you want a set that doesn’t just sound good, but feels like something, that’s exactly what I deliver.

What makes me different?

I’ve been DJing for around 40 years, starting in my early teens, and I’m still obsessed with the craft. I’m all about the music, and I’ve got a big vinyl collection at home, even though I perform digitally now.

I’m also a dancer, which changes how you DJ. I dance West Coast Swing competitively, and I demonstrate and coach Modern Jive, so I’m constantly feeling what works on a floor, not just what looks good on a tracklist. I understand phrasing, structure, and momentum, and that means the set doesn’t just “sound good”, it moves people.

If you want a DJ who builds a night with intention, like guiding a crowd up a hill to a view you can actually feel in your chest, get in touch…

Why do pubs, clubs, and event venues in Dorset and Devon book me?

If you run a club, pub or event venue and you want a DJ who does more than “fill the space”, that’s exactly what I’m built for. A performance-led dance set has one goal: keep your customers in the room, moving, smiling, and ordering that next round because the night still feels like it’s going somewhere. 

I build energy in waves, read the crowd in real time, and keep the flow tight so there are no awkward dips where people check their phones, drift to the door, and disappear. 

If you want a dependable DJ who understands what actually keeps a venue buzzing until close, let’s talk dates…

Sample Sets

These are rapid progression sample sets for a fast-cut taste of my sound. In a real night, I’d take longer to build and stretch the journey, but these mixes let you hear my blending, pacing, and track selection in one punchy listen. If your foot starts tapping without you noticing, you’ll know you’re in the right place.
