BIOGRAPHY
Mark Norman are fast becoming recognised as two of the hottest artists around, with their unique sound and technical ability. Mark Norman comprises of Mark de Jong and Norman Lenden. Since joining BPM dance in 2000 they have released tracks on the Silver Premium and Jinx labels and continue to receive huge support from the top spinners across the globe.

Other tracks include 'Total Seduction', 'Faith' and 'Stream', which was featured on the Tiesto DVD - Another day at the Office. These tracks also proved massively popular with DJs including Tiesto, Paul Oakenfold, Marco V and Paul Van Dyk.

Tiesto again put his confidence in Mark Norman when he gave them the chance to mix the latest edition of the massively popular 'In Trance We Trust' series on Black Hole Recordings.
Signed to the globally recognised label 'Blackhole Recordings' they aim to bring us more of the excellent productions we have already heard from them and follow in the footsteps of Tiesto himself.
Recent productions 'Phantom Mannor' and 'Rush' highlighted this talent once more as the tracks went straight into the Dutch Dance Chart at the Number One position - The fifth time in a row for Mark Norman!
