Mark Dynamix (born Mark Kenneth Vick c. 1976) is an Australian DJ, producer, mixer and record label owner. He began working as a DJ in 1990, aged 14.[1] He had published 26 mix CDs and four original music releases as of 2008.[2][3]

Dynamix has sold more CDs than any other Australian DJ with more than 35 releases by August 2017.[1] His 2006 release Ministry of Sound: The 2006 Annual mix CD was Australia's highest-selling compilation.[4] He was the first Australian to DJ at the MTV Australian Video Music Awards.[5]

His Ministry of Sound release "sessions 2" reached fourth on the overall album charges, but first on both compilation and dance music album charts. inthemix.com.au members voted Dynamix the number two DJ in Australia for two consecutive years, and voted him as number one in 2002. He has toured extensively with John Course to promote Ministry of Sound compilations CDs.[6]

In 2006 he released his first original single, "IDentify Me", which was part of his Mixtape CD he put together for Ministry Of Sound. On this CD "IDentify Me" was mixed together with another track (Johannes Heil's "All For One") and was also included as an extra CD single packaged with Mixtape, which had the original "IDentify Me" plus four remixes. His second due-to-be released single, "Destructor", is also featured on the Mixtape CD.

During 2007 Dynamix lived and worked in Berlin before returning to Australia.[3] From 2008 he used the name MDX, as he was "starting a clean slate with new ideas and musical output."[3] He established a record label, Long Distance Recordings as artists had "more opportunities within reach & budget now, to get the music into new territories and promote artists from the label; gaining them international DJ gigs and worldwide recognition whilst hopefully pleasantly surprising a few listeners.[3]
