The venue is filled with people, thousands of enthusiastic fans cavorting close-packed in front of the stage. Beside the music, there’s one thing that drags them along: the permanently changing visual program…

Fascinating visuals dedicated to miscellaneous themes with varying color moods and emotional appeal appear on huge screens, always in perfect accord with the music. The VJ has a special power, because he can influence the emotions of the people just by fading pictures or scenes. Everyone that ever has had the chance to experience this, knows how intriguing and trance-like this state is.

Someone who masters and practices this until perfection is Markos Aristides Kern a.k.a. VJ Mar-K.os from Munich, Germany. For him, VJ-ing is not simply a hobby, it’s rather his vocation, his passion.
Early interested in videos as a medium, Mar-K.os started at the age of 19 to attend to the light shows in different night clubs. He made his first experiences at VJ-ing at “Halle_02” in Heidelberg, that became one of the most popular clubs in Baden-Württemberg in cause of his impressive mix of music and art events.
At the age of 22 Mar-K.os moved to Munich to start up his own company, the VJ-Label Visual Drugstore, where he plans and works out all visuals – with a high claim on himself and the emerging material. Furthermore, he refines new designs for various shows.

Even in his little free time, the avowed workaholic is on tour with his camera, always keeping his eyes peeled to catch everyday, for others maybe banal scenes, to redefine and reflect them afterwards with artistic competence.
Among other things, it’s this search that lets Mar-K.os change places, so he is for example commuting between Munich and New York, where he also has an office – and a fan base – since a couple of years. He captures people in renowned clubs allover the world, for example in the Privilege (Ibiza), the P1 (Munich), the Pasha (NYC), the Excalibur (Chicago), the Bed Supperclub (Bangkok) or the Ministry of Sound (London) as on world-famous festivals where he lets the crowed forget their minds and only see his pictures on the huge screens of the Mayday, Nature One, Time Warp or Love Parade. Meanwhile, he performed with nearly all famous DJs, like Sven Väth, Carl Cox, Richie Hawtin or Erick Morillo.

In comparison to other Vjs worldwide, Mar-K.os remains one of the few who develops visuals, designs and performances all by himself and can use his rich repertoire to create new material on cue. With 10 years of experience in this field, Mar-K.os work is presented in unbelieveable perfection and precision. He has a pinpoint sense for music and aesthetics, constant vigilance and keeps up his unfailing work.

In the future, Mar-K.os wants to go on playing at the best parties worldwide. Furthermore he plans to expand his VJ-label Visual Drugstore. This will surely succeed, because he is not only an exceptional talent, but also an diehard optimist who loves his work and fills it with his explosive passion – that’s what makes a gig with him an unforgettable experience!
