Music has always been about more than sound. It brings people together, breaks down barriers, and creates moments that stay with you long after the night ends.
Mark Wilkinson knows this first-hand. From playing some of the world’s most iconic clubs, including Ministry of Sound and Pacha, to speaking on stages around the world, his journey has always been driven by music, emotion, and human connection.
His new book, Love Remixed, explores how self-acceptance, emotional awareness, and presence shape the way we love, live, and relate to others. We sat down with Mark to talk about club culture, connection, and why love sits at the centre of everything.
Music, Energy and Connection
What still drives Mark today is the same feeling he experienced behind the decks.
The shared joy. The moment when thousands of people drop their masks and simply feel together. That energy showed him that real change does not come from logic or force. It comes from emotion.
DJing also shaped how he sees love and connection. It taught him that presence matters more than perfection. When someone is fully present, people feel it. Love works the same way. It does not need perfect words or plans. It needs honesty and authenticity.
Clubs bring together people from every background, yet the dancefloor feels united. For Mark, that sense of belonging carries into his work today. Different lives, beliefs, and personalities, but the same desire to be seen, understood, and to feel something real. His approach now is simple. Meet people where they are and create spaces where they feel safe enough to open up.
Why Love Remixed Exists
The idea for Love Remixed came from a pattern Mark kept seeing.
People who had mastered careers, money, and success, but were quietly struggling with love, connection, or self-worth. The timing felt right because priorities are shifting. People want more than achievement. They want meaning, intimacy, and alignment.
This book is more personal than his earlier work. While previous books focused on mindset and performance, Love Remixed goes deeper into relationships. How we love ourselves. How we love others. And how everything else flows from that.
At its core, the message is simple. Love is not something you find. It is something you practise. An invitation to stop chasing love and start becoming it, through total acceptance.
If readers take one thing from the book, Mark hopes it is this. Self-love is not selfish. It is foundational. When you learn to accept and lead yourself with compassion, every relationship in your life improves.
Mindset, Patterns and Change
At his talks and events, Mark hears the same question again and again.
How do I stop repeating the same patterns?
Whether it is relationships, money, or self-sabotage, people want to break cycles. Mark believes the answer does not start with blame or fixing. It starts with awareness and compassion.
One moment that stayed with him came after a talk, when someone said, “I thought I needed fixing, but you helped me realise I needed understanding.”
That summed it up. This work is not about fixing people. It is about freeing them.
For anyone looking to remix their own life, his advice is simple. Pause. Create a small daily moment, even two minutes, where you stop reacting and start responding. Awareness is the remix point. Change begins with conscious choice, and the most powerful choice is learning to accept yourself first.
Music as Identity and Culture
For Mark, music is not something you switch off when the track ends.
When he sees someone wearing In The Music, it tells him they understand that music is something you live and feel. It represents rhythm, creativity, emotion, and connection woven into everyday life.
If Love Remixed had a soundtrack, three tracks would define its mood.
- Third World – Now That We Found Love
- Ten City – That’s The Way Love Is
- Frankie Knuckles – Your Love
That selection says everything. Soul, house, and timeless feeling.
A big thank you to Mark Wilkinson for his time. It’s been great to see how closely the ideas in Love Remixed align with our own beliefs around music, emotion, and connection.
