DJ MADOKA Biography

New York based Mark Venneri has been developing a distinct vision of his musical future since he was first introduced to the underground at a warehouse party in Philadelphia in early 1991. It was just a matter of time before he strengthened his love for the powerful music he heard every weekend and decided to try his hand as a DJ, and eventually, as a producer. Whether he was commanding a club’s booth, molding intense soundscapes during a live PA or broadcasting his college-radio show entitled Grooveshop, Mark has always been a true innovator. While he remained relatively quiet in these roles for almost a decade in the United States, he felt it was finally time to take his unique sound to the international masses in 2000. With his newly formed artist moniker Madoka, he began his journey and hoped to achieve such a goal. Finally, in October 2004, he launched his download-exclusive label called Metamotional Music. Named after his critically-acclaimed masterpiece on Deep Focus. Created and branded apart from Private Reality, the label is currently exclusively distributed via Beatport. The digital imprint has already featured his dark, dirty and twisted monsters 'MTTM (Madoka's Tribute to Mazzo Mix)' and 'Arena' as well as the recently massive 'Drift' complete with the mighty newcomer Roel remix.
