29 years young, a producer and dj from Leeds, UK, addicted to synths, drum machine tweaking and music production since the age of 13.
Love listening to house/tech/funk and soul for hours on end, spending time in the studio, dj'ing in clubs, fields, swamps, balconies and generally obsessing about music.
Have 3 EPs out now on Re:tweak Records, a new label based out of Leeds, UK, watch out for releases coming out from Mata, Makka, Mike Richardson (from Manchester's Unity FM), Outcross records boss Miguel Campbell and Bops artists Bopstag.
Currently putting together a new live set to take on the road, combining dj'ing with live keys, drum machines, visuals and lots of other geekery.
Message me for remixes and releases.

Really beautiful groove this Mark, like it a lot, cheers for sharing
@mr_g: Thanks, i'll send you some tracks over for forbidden fruit. Just checking your tracks on label website, tasty mate:)
@mark schubert: Thanks very much Mark, I've just been checking out some of yours, got some excellent tracks going on:)
@Moosbach: Thanks, I always end up automating everything like mad, especially on the breaks/bridges, still a lot of work to do before release! Glad you like it so far
@atomicanna: Thanks v.much and cheers for the Myspace add too :)
@scootaboy: Cheers scootaboy, been working on this along with mastering loads of stuff the last couple of days, got it sounding pretty fat now with all the automation completed and just final mix and last couple of tweaks to go :)
@Campadrenalin: Thanks for the suggestion, i've gone back and added some subtle pitch modulation to the start of the synths in places now and played with the delays and fx on the breakdown, it's only light modulation but it's pitch-sliding none the less:) Updated the mp3 with the changes too.
@Pheel: Thanks Pheel, only done a few hours on this so far so the mix is very rough but it's got potential.
Yeah got a lovely vibe to it Paul, i'll let Retweak know to give it a listen for ya. Cheers for sending it over. Will be up for doing a remix or 2 regardless:)
Lovely transition! Automation agogo!
Lovely spacey echoes mate, i'd try sidechaining them to the kick for that extra oompa lumpa sound too:)
@Paul Schal: They do all the work so I don't have too:)
@Paul Schal: Thanks Paul, it's very rough at the mo, just done it last night and completely un-quantised so notes all over the shop. Will be tightening it up (a lil bit) tomorrow:) Cheers for the nice comments mate, always appreciated.
@theimagination: Thanks, think this is out on ep3 on retweak, will let you know. Will be updating this with a new mix - should be start of next week. Thanks again. H:)

@chicko: Hi, yeah this is an oldie that I found while digging through some of my old song saves, gonna have to rework and finish this one, the drums are a tad monsta:)
@ogrindo: @ogrindo: cheers ogrindo, still loads of work to do before release date but coming along nicely now, will be another mix of it up next week for you to check out too. Thanks. H
@Alik: Thanks, the kick drum is driving me a bit mental but it's unique too so either going to replace this weekend or work with it, should be a new mix up next week - released on ep3 of retweak so mastered version here soon:)

@Man on Fire: Thanks very much mate, this is a few years old but in definate need of a rework, just going through a few older tracks that I need to get round to finishing:)

@DiogoM: Thanks
@blackmarketfunk: Nice one, I need to back off the compressors a bit, especially at the start, just working too hard, and my ears are steaming after 6 hours on the headphones:)
@Steve Murrell: Thanks Steve, still a work in progress, kick drum needs a lot of work as does everything else as always but it's got a nice feel to it, will be finishing it off soon:) All the best. h
Forgot to say, wicked mix of this though:) hehe, loving the synthy stabs too, fit well nice.
I've loaded up the original and done brought the levels up, that's about it so far, been working on we project last/this week and not touched this yet, can have a play on Thursday though matt...............Master, master, master!
@retweakrecords: bit of an oldie but had a few changes since then:)
@Walker_There_Is_No_Path: Thanks for the comments mate, updated again and took out the big stabs when i listened back today, added another bassline instead to keep it rolling along. :)

@Walker_There_Is_No_Path: bongos, congos and somthing with a bitcrusher on, cant remember off the top of me head:) thanks mate
@opuswerk: When I made this track I did wonder whether I was tippy-toe'ing over the cheese line, but it's one of those tunes that always sounds fresh when I play it back:) thanks for the comments too. H.
