In June 2022 we got the terrible news that Mark had unexpectedly passed away. He was someone who loved: clubbing, his friends, the harder styles of dance music and had a sense of humour drier than the Atacama desert. I DJed with him in clubs, barns, bedroom and more kitchens that I care to remember. A mutual friend put his vinyl up for sale in order to support his family and I jumped at the chance to help out. I've created a mix using that vinyl. They have been well loved and played to death. I did my best to remove as much snap, crackle and pop as I could pre and post-production. However, these records are 25 years old and have been up and down the country filling him with joy.

This is a tribute to Mark Hanby.
