Mark James
Anyone else impressed by him or have any thoughts of him?
i have only seen him twice, once warming up for armin and once warming up for kyau and albert
i gotta say he really impressed me alot
after hearing nik fish warm up for ferry (which was absolutley awful) i have much respect for the warm up dj now
for kyau and albert he warmed up perfectly by playing good music which wasnt to hard
For armin it was a bit different, i was pretty much there from the start and he played some pretty minimal influenced prog for the first hour but then from 11-11.30 really showed us what he could do playing life less ordinary and a killer remix of right here right now, he then backed off a bit for armin.
he definantly knows how to warm up a dance floor, i just hope he doesnt get categorised as just a warm up dj because the guy seems to have alot of talent to destroy a dancefloor as well

mark rocks
remember one of his sets from a welcome party right before midnight he dropped for an angel, born slippy and 1998 
and the first song after midnight was rank one - breathing (breaks dub)
He cops shit from a lot of people, especially from n00bs 
who criticise his cheesy sets at Famous.
I've seen him warm up for James Zabiela, play main room sets at Prince and other places, and play various big arenas such as Summadayze and Armin; he is awesome.
James can play many styles and his taste in music is excellent.
Mark James FTW!
Love his work 
I didn't really like his set at Armin: didn't move me at all: wasn't as bad as having to sit thru carl cox before ferry, but was a similar feeling I found-- it was probably just what he thout would warm the crowd up, and it probably worked, but i wasn't a fan 
At Pharmacy, playing before K&A however is a completely different story- the first time (tho not the last) i've gone off to psy-- played a killer set!! really enjoyed it 
yeah hasn't done much for me really, haven't seen him that much really prob 3 or 4 times; but I have always been waiting for a bigger better act so prob haven't given him a real chance! Apparently his set was good before Kyau & Albert but yeah don't really remember that much, my friend wouldn't let me stand in the same room as he was so made it hard to listen to MJ! XD But yeah his armin set did nothing for me. But again waiting for the bigger and better act I was!

i usually like some of his tracks whenever i've seen him, although can be a bit hit and miss for me
hes a fkn gun. most versatile dj ive seen. can play any time slot at any event. knows exactly what to do please any crowd. im sure he will dominate dance valley and gkgg
i think joofs psy direction has rubbed off on mark!
thought his set before armin was fantastic.
g0t liveset?

Psy set at Pharmacy was best of the night
I heart Mark James
Mark James, Matt Crawford, Kasey Taylor, Tiesto all for $10 The GLORY days at Salt nightclub. Sigh. Bring them back please :/
see, listening to his two sets i knew he was a versitile dj
he seemed to pull tracks from different genres and mix them well to set the mood.
I dont know about the Melbourne show but at Sydney he warmed up perfectly. And he gave me a glimpse of what he could do! Loved life less ordianry and the remix of right here right now that he played!!
i remember going into pharmacy (my first melbourne event) and thinking wtf? are melbourne ppl too cool to dance? especially seeing hard trance was playing in the black room
but then mark james came on and a nice sorta crowd started dancing in the white room and i had a great night after that!
but after pharmacy i was stinging to hear him play again
and yeah would love to hear him in sydney with a peak hour set where he could play whatever he wanted!
