Mark Kamins
a brief history
Mark Kamins executive career began at Island Records in 1979, under the tutelage of impresario Chris Blackwell. While at Island, Mark Kamins worked closely with recording artists Bob Marley, U2 and Grace Jones. Mark Kamins directional work in production and A&R was fueled by his experiences as DJ at all of the dance and new wave clubs in the 80's most important venues Mudd Club,Danceteria, Studio 54, Mars and others. His unique style overlaid sirens, horns and various other sound effects on top of dance and
alternative tracks. His signature use of Middle Eastern chanting and wails has been since replicated in innumerable house and electronica records, from Prodigy to Fat Boy Slim.
In 1982, an artist appeared in Kamins life who was about to change music history. Madonna Ciccione had approached Kamins at Danceteria with a demo tape and asked if he would play it. Kamins not only played it but elected to bring the tape to Sire Records legendary executive, Seymour Stein. Kamins went on to produce the first single "Everybody" and mix several tracks including "Burning Up" and "Lucky Star" of Madonna's self-titled platinum album.
