How One DJ Turned His Passion Into a Record Shop with DJ Mark of Dr Disc Records

Mark Furukawa (aka DJ Mark) is the owner of Dr. Disc Records, legendary Hamilton DJ, community builder, and one of the city’s most enduring champions of local music.   Mark has been running Dr. Disc since 1991, outlasting corporate giants like HMV, surviving the Napster era, and navigating the chaos of COVID. We also talk DJ philosophy, the emotional power of physical music, and the joy of creating space for local musicians to thrive.   Whether you’re a Hamilton lifer, a vinyl collector, or a musician carving your path, this conversation is a love letter to music and community.   Credits Recorded at Catherine North Studios in Hamilton, Ontario Produced by StereoRuss and StereoRuss Media Production Assistant: Michelle Palau   Connect with DJ Mark and Dr. Disc https://www.instagram.com/heresdjmark/ https://www.instagram.com/drdischamilton/ https://www.facebook.com/drdisc.ca   Connect with StereoRuss https://www.instagram.com/StereoRuss https://www.TikTok.com/@StereoRuss   Become an Inside the Music Insider https://www.stereoruss.com
