Consistently reliable in its turnout of high quality techno, Mark Broom’s Beard Man opened the year with another stamp of approval from BBC Radio 1’s B.Traits when she made the imprint her “Label Mates” in January and a second EP from Germany’s Patrik Carrera, including a superb remix by Makaton (Rodz-Konez / Blueprint) in February. Now the king of the snakes, Mr Mark Broom heads into spring with his ‘Snake Eyes EP’.

‘Snake Eyes’ and ‘Witch’ open the EP in classic Broom production style. Immediately recognisable for vigorous peak-time action, the tracks are infused with tough tech funk and contagious grooves that make it clear why someone like Robert Hood has always been a constant supporter of his work.

The original version of ‘Upside Down’ was first released on Pure Plastic back in 2000. Here, the track receives two reworkings. The first is from Tabernacle and Mathematics man, John Heckle in his Head Front Panel guise. A fitting choice as Heckle enhances the raw Chicago-esque style of the original. The second comes from Mark himself with a deeper 2017 Mix that updates this classic track for a new audience of fans.

A truly prolific artist, Mark Broom has a myriad of production credits to his name having worked with world renowned labels such as Blueprint Records, Rekids, M-plant, EPM, Cocoon, Bpitch Control, Warp Records and the legendary Ifach with Baby Ford.

It all started in the summer of ‘89 when he landed in Tenerife on vacation and stumbled across the delights of the emerging sounds of Chicago and Acid House. Returning to the UK, he immediately went in search of this new found music, a pair of turntables were bought and with it a musical career was born. He has also had the pleasure of reworking material from artists such as Robert Hood, Floorplan, Alan Fitzpatrick and Gary Beck.
