Mark McCabe is a station manager, music producer and a radio DJ from Ireland. Mark has mixed the opening sequence for events such as the Special Olympics in 2003, the 2005 and 2007 Saint Patrick's Festivals Skyfest and released the second biggest-selling record in Ireland (Maniac 2000).
During the 1990s, McCabe presented the drivetime show on a pirate radio station in Dublin. Due to Ireland's rather liberal treatment of pirate stations at the time, he became one of the most influential radio DJs in the late 1990s. He was signed with New York tribal house legends Twisted Records. He recently admitted publicly his regret over Maniac 2000,[1] and has since released another album, Music From The Fourth Place, which he himself describes as being "as far from Maniac as possible". His music successes includes two Meteor Music awards, two top 10 singles and the second-biggest selling record in Ireland (Maniac 2000), which spent 10 weeks at number one.
He was part-responsible for the set up of the RTÉ digital audio broadcasting network.
