Marc Kinchen, better known by his initials MK, is an acclaimed American DJ, record producer, and remixer from Detroit, Michigan. Rising to prominence in the early 1990s, MK became a pivotal figure in the evolution of house music, blending soulful, deep, and garage styles into tracks that have influenced generations of dance music artists. Kinchen’s early work was marked by collaborations with Detroit legend Kevin Saunderson, but he gained widespread recognition for his own productions, including the classic "Always" (featuring Alana) and the genre-defining "Burning.

" However, it was his remix of Nightcrawlers' "Push the Feeling On" in 1995 that served as a global breakthrough, turning the track into an enduring club anthem and cementing MK’s signature sound—chopped vocal samples, infectious piano hooks, and floor-filling grooves. Throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s, MK diversified his production credits, working with renowned artists across genres, from Will Smith and Céline Dion to Pitbull and Rihanna. After a brief period focused on R&B and pop, he made a triumphant return to house music in the early 2010s, catalyzing a new wave of success with hits like "Look Right Through" (Storm Queen remix), "Piece of Me," and "17," all of which received international acclaim and commercial radio play.

In addition to his prolific original productions and chart-topping remixes, MK is known for his dynamic DJ sets, performing at leading clubs and festivals worldwide, including Coachella, Glastonbury, and Ibiza residencies. His innovative approach to remixing has made him one of the most sought-after names in dance music, shaping the sound of contemporary house and inspiring a new generation of producers. MK continues to push musical boundaries, operating his own label AREA10, discovering fresh talent, and collaborating with established artists, maintaining his role as an influential force within the global electronic music community.
