In 1989 Christophe Mark aka Tofke started djing at underground parties together with Deg (Fuse).
In 1990, Claude from City Parade discovered Tofke and gave him his chance to start at the age of 15 as Belgium's youngest dj in the very first after club in Belgium called The Globe. At that time his music style was a new fresh techno sound. Soon he played all over Europe in clubs like Warehouse-Koln, E-Werk-Berlin, La Luna-Marseille, Rex-Paris... and raves like Mayday-Berlin, Love Parade-Berlin, Magic Kingdom- Switzerland, Coalmine Rave-Croatia...
In 1993 he was elected third best Belgium dj by the readers poll of the magazine ‘Out Soon’.
Also that year he got in love with the Ibiza Island where he started to play on beach parties and private villa parties.
From 1996 till 2002 he has been weekly resident for 2 years @ Pacha and another 2 years @ Space. He also did one season @ Pin-Up for Coxwen. Beside that he played in all Ibiza major clubs such as Privilege, El Divino, Amnesia and more underground parties like Circo Loco @ DC10 and Km5.
He also had the famous bar ‘Coolture Cafe Ibiza’ together with his friend Carmello Martinez. Together with Daniel Munoz (former creative director @ Space) he started ‘Mad Productions’. They were the first to organize Ibiza reunions in Belgium. Back to Belgium he has been resident the last 15 years in almost every club such as La Rocca, Pacha Brussels, At The Villa, The Globe, Bump @ Fuse, Carat, Illusion, H2O, Creamm, Noxx, Café d’Anvers, Labyrinth Club, The Wood and Club Vaag.
He's probably one of the most famous dj's from the early 90's scene in Belgium who still plays everywhere in clubs like: Pacha-Marrakech, Cream-Gran Canaria, Ministry of Sound London, Kadoc Portugal, Panama Amsterdam, 102 Dusseldorf, Macarena Barcelona...
He played at festivals such as Extrema Outdoor, Wecandance, Solar (NL), Tomorrowland, Laundry Day...
In 2009 he was the start of Labyrinth Productions, which is now Labyrinth Club. Nowadays he organizes his own events ‘Twisted’ and ‘Sounday’ at Club Vaag. In the 2016 Red Bull Electropedia Awards he is – as the only one of his generation - classified amongst the first 50 top-dj’s in Belgium. Club Vaag, where he is resident, was elected as 3rd best club and first breakthrough club.
