DJ Producer Mark Sixma (aka M6) was born in the Netherlands in ‘83. Born and raised in Breda just like the great DJ Tiesto, it was only a matter of time till he caught the trance virus. After mastering the art of DJ’ing at highschool parties and in local club “De Spock”, former residence of Dj Tiesto, Cor Fijneman and DJ Dazzle, Mark got interested in producing music.

With a helping hand from his friend Paul Moelands (aka Re:locate/Octagen) he started to produce his first trance tracks. His background in classical piano music proved to be a great benefit. It wasn't until the year 2006 that Mark started to put more time and effort into producing and soon after his first release was a fact. After hearing his music, record label Basic Beat signed ‘Freak Electrique’ and ‘Techmatic’. 'Freak Electrique ' was also featured on Riley and Durrant's mix compilation 'a Quest For Trance 2'. That’s where the ball got rolling!

After releasing a collaboration with Def Tactical and a Project 6 E.P at Five AM Records it was time for the next M6 release called ‘Destination 6’. It was chosen “Tune of the Week” on Armin van Buuren’s radioshow ‘A State Of Trance’ and got amazing support. From that point on a lot of doors were opened for Mark. The next M6 single was signed at Armin van Buuren’s record label Armada. ‘Fade 2 Black’ was, once again, selected ‘Tune of the Week’ on ASOT. An incredible accomplishment in such a short period of time. It’s safe to say that Mark is one of the fastest rising stars in trance music.

Mark’s tracks are now being released on Armada, Blackhole Recordings, Five AM and Fektive and have been played by top jocks like Tiesto, Ferry Corsten, Armin van Buuren, Paul van Dyk, Judge Jules, Gareth Emery, Sied van Riel, Re-ward, Menno de Jong and many many more. He’s also done remixes for producers like Mike Foyle, Re:locate, W&W, B.E.N & Mr. Pit and Vast Vision. And the requests keep coming in by the dozen.

While he’s spending a lot of time in the studio, Mark also hosts a monthly radioshow called ‘Solid Sounds’ at worldwide internet broadcasters Danceradio.gr and Puresounds.fm. Dj bookings are also coming in steadily and his international DJ career started of with a bang at the Trance Gate event in Italy. It’s clear that Mark has a great future ahead of him.
