BIO

Hey — I’m Mark Hardy, a DJ, producer, and event curator based on the Olympic Peninsula.



Over the past several years, I’ve been building events throughout the Pacific Northwest that exist outside the ordinary — gatherings where music, environment, and intention come together to create something greater than the sum of their parts.

Alongside an extraordinary crew of artists, visionaries, and friends, I produce gatherings that blend high-quality sound, intentional curation, and natural beauty. From seaside warehouses to forest clearings, we choose locations that feel mythic — places where the everyday slips away, and something ancient and alive returns.

Every element of an event matters: the layout, the sound system, the artwork, the programming, the sense of welcome. When all of it aligns, a spirit emerges — something larger than any one of us. That’s what I chase.


My DJ sets are high-energy and emotionally layered — weaving together the alien and the familiar, the mystical and the physical to create moments that feel unforgettable, maybe even life-changing. That same spirit informs my music production practice: a lifelong path of refinement and exploration learning from some of the best mentors in the game while carving my own lane.


To me, dance parties aren’t a luxury — they’re a form of cultural infrastructure.

They’re how we rehearse freedom.

They’re how we remember what’s possible.

I believe we can build a new paradigm — one where art, music, and creativity are at the center of life, not at the margins.


Whether on a rooftop, in the forest, or on the shoreline — my goal is always the same:

to create moments that wake people up to who they are, and what we could become — together.


Thank you for being here. The movement’s still unfolding, and I’d love for you to be part of it.
