Trademarq Events is a boutique DJ service founded by Marko Militano & Tari Litz

Marko Militano

Marko has been creating music all of his life.  He began playing guitar in bands throughout elementary and high school, moving on to analog synthesizers and recording, eventually earning a degree in production and engineering at age 19.  Marko’s career as a DJ began over 20 years ago while producing house music as a solo artist and with cousin and production partner, Tari, as the duo, Trademarq.  Marko’s music has been played by some of the most respected names in dance music and remixed by house music icons Frankie Knuckles, Derrick Carter & Tedd Patterson, to name a few.  Having been around some of the greatest DJs, producers and venues for many moons, Marko is no stranger to a proper party. 

With the ethos of “connectivity”, Marko thrives in bringing seemingly unconnected genres and cultures together, forming a cohesive, infectious energy. Holding down a 6 year residency every Sunday at Gran Eléctrica in Brooklyn (RIP), Marko found the perfect place to take listeners on a journey, weaving through countless genres rooted in timeless melodies and rhythms, from every part of the planet. As a result of his residency, Marko found himself DJing all over NYC; clubs, private parties, weddings, art galleries…even a few toddler’s birthday parties. Trademarq™ Events was born out of necessity and passion for bringing people together through the power of music.

"I was reminiscing about how much fun my wedding was recently as I creep up to our 1 year anniversary, and so much of that was down to Marko. The fact that we could keep partying past 11pm, and how willing Marko was to play cheesy noughties hits to keep the elder millennials who had mostly never met each other before, get down on the dance floor, just made it the party I wanted it to be!"

"It was amazing having DJ Marko rather than a mediocre playlist or a mediocre "DJ". There were people dancing in the police driveway loving the music!" - Gran Eléctrica - Brooklyn, NYC.

We were really nervous about finding a DJ, let alone a great DJ for our wedding. We won the DJ lottery! Marko was so easy to work with and made our night unforgettable". - Jon M.
