Mick Park

Mick Park is a British DJ, songwriter, and music producer from Coventry. He is known for his contributions to the electronic music scene, particularly as part of the DJ duo Parks & Wilson and the group Tilt.
==Early Career and Formation of Parks & Wilson==
In 1990, Park co-founded the DJ duo Parks & Wilson with Mick Wilson. The duo became residents at The Eclipse, the first legally licensed all-night rave venue in the UK. Their performances alongside DJs like Sasha helped shape Park's interest in music production. In 1993, Park, Wilson, and producer John Graham formed the electronic music group Tilt.
==Work with Tilt and Chart Success==
Tilt's first single, "I Dream", was released in 1996 on Perfecto Records, founded by Paul Oakenfold. Tilt followed this release with other singles such as "My Spirit", "Places", and "Butterfly". They also collaborated with Paul van Dyk on the track "Rendezvous". The group signed with Hooj Choons, releasing "Invisible", which reached the UK Top 20. Tilt also produced a cover of Robert Miles' track "Children" and released the Dark Science EP. By this period, the group had achieved seven UK charting singles.
==Collaborations and Group Changes==
In 1997, Park worked with Malcolm McLaren on "Lakme 'The Bell Song'", which received critical attention. After John Graham left Tilt in 1999 to pursue a solo career, Park and Wilson continued producing music. In 2002, Andy Moor joined Tilt, contributing to the release of the album Explorer on Lost Language, a subsidiary of Hooj Choons.
Following Wilson and Moor's departures, Nic Britton rejoined Park in 2011, and the duo continued releasing music under the Tilt name. Notable releases during this time included "No Other Day", featuring Maria Nayler, and a re-release of "The World Doesn't Know" for Lost Language's 100th release.
==Radio Exposure and Remixes==
Parks & Wilson were featured on BBC Radio 1's Essential Mix in 2000 and again in 2002. Park has produced remixes for various artists, including Cosmos' "Take Me With You". He has worked with artists such as Ben Shaw, Sam Mollison, and Dominique Atkins Grace, releasing music on labels such as Black Hole Recordings, Perfecto Records, and Lost Language.
==Recent Work and Projects==
In 2014, Tilt released a Best Of album titled Stop The World Revolving. This was followed by the release of the album Resonator, which charted on Beatport. Park has also performed with Paul Oakenfold at venues including Ministry of Sound, Pacha, and Cream, and held a residency at Home, a nightclub in Leicester Square, London.
In 2017, Park collaborated with Ruby Turner on the track "Deeper In Love", which was released on Perfecto House Records. In 2019, Tilt remixed U2's "Summer of Love", with further collaborations on remixes of U2's "Where the Streets Have No Name".
==Guerilla Movement and Other Ventures==
In 2019, Park co-founded the record label and clothing brand Guerilla Movement with Nic Britton and Steven Wilkins. Park also worked with hip-hop producer Dominic Owen on a project to benefit Help Bristol's Homeless.
Tilt continues to be active, with recent projects including the score for the film Wolflands and collaborations with artists such as Robbie Williams, Rowetta (Happy Mondays), and Inder Goldfinger. In 2023, Park, alongside Dominic Owen, produced a charity single. Tilt also worked on remixes for Japanese artist Lion Arkroyal, with an album scheduled for release in 2024.
