the beginning sounds like blasting broken glass into my eat drum.

Mark XTC’s been something of a drum & bass kingpin in the North West of England for some time now. Currently lecturing in DJ and Audio Technology at Manchester College he’s been sharing his personal love of music for many years, through several different outlets. In the 80s he won the North West DMC DJ Championships and devoted his life to DJing and producing music with groups like The Mix Factory and Da Intalex (a duo with a certain man called Marcus who’d later go on to adopt the name and coin the Soul:ution label). 

After those projects disbanded Mark signed to Ray Keith’s Dread Recordings/Penny Black Records empire releasing music such as the <em>Come On EP</em> which in turn brought him to the attention of Dillinja and his Valve label with whom he’d go on to release tracks like ‘Keyz’ and ‘Roll Dem Beatz’. Over the years Mark’s also released on numerous other labels and as a result has played all across the world but he’s making the journey from his native Manchester alongside the Hit & Run crew to play Room Three next Friday. 

With a lineage as colourful as Mark XTC’s is was always going to be inevitable that we’d ask him to put together a mixtape but we’re even happier he chose to select 90 minutes worth of his favourite jungle records.

Mark XTC - FABRICLIVE x Hit & Run Jungle Classics Mix

DTR100

Wake Me Up

Instagram

Spin Inn, Eastern Bloc, The Mix Factory, Da Intalex...just some of the Manchester musical institutions and outfits that Mark XTC has been involved with in his now twenty five year career across records shops, clubs and early rave culture.

Playing across hip hop, classic house and also well known as a proponent of Drum and Bass / Jungle throughout his career Mark is a hugely versatile DJ and his Hacienda Tribute mix, published now on this site and soundcloud, sees him take to three decks and CD-J’s in putting it together.

Showcasing the skills throughout, taking accapellas, additional beats and put his own spins on the format, “Always There” and “Dirty Cash” knock out over classics such as Jam The Dance from the outset. A tribute to the recently passed Mark Bell with an airing of “LFO” as Mark throws in the better known tunes such as “Voodoo Ray”, “Promised Land” against US underground  such as Corina’s  “Temptation” 

With extended mixing a feature of the mix, and Mark laying his own markers, scratching in and out, from “French Kiss”, “Higher States Of Consciousness” and the Sasha remix of Better Days, Mark expertly blends the tracks in a set that pulls no punches.

The rarely heard dub of My Friend Sam featuring Viola Willis kicks off the final section of the mix as B Sides Volme II, ”Casanova” and “The Shaker Song” all come together as rare hip hop cut The Doc’s “Portrait Of A Masterpiece” and an untouched “Strings Of Life”  bring Mark’s exhilarating hour to a close.

Biography 

Exile enters 2025 riding the wave of his most successful year to date.
In 2024, he cemented his place as one of the most dynamic talents in drum and bass. A nomination for Best Breakthrough Producer at the Drum & Bass Awards set the stage for an explosive year, while the launch of his label, Banished Beats, established him as not just a prolific artist but also a visionary leader in the scene. Exile’s ability to seamlessly juggle his roles as a DJ, producer, tutor, musician, and label boss is a testament to his unmatched versatility and dedication.
A defining moment of 2024 was his electrifying collaboration with Sola and Dread MC on ‘We No Care’ which landed on Jungle Cakes and became an instant anthem. The track dominated airwaves, earned a spot on Spotify’s biggest drum and bass playlist, and held its place as a fan favourite throughout the year. Beyond DNB, Exile demonstrated his genre-spanning prowess by venturing into Bass House with a standout release on Bad Medic Records’ Underdogs 2 EP, proving his ability to captivate audiences across electronic music.
Adding to his impressive achievements, Exile was snapped up by the prestigious Hot Cakes agency, further solidifying his position as a sought-after artist on the global stage.
As 2025 unfolds, Exile shows no signs of slowing down. With releases already confirmed on iconic labels such as Nu:Form and Make Your Era, he’s set to continue delivering rave-shaking anthems and pushing boundaries with unexpected collaborations. Whether he’s behind the decks, in the studio, or mentoring the next generation of talent, Exile’s influence and impact continue to grow.
Drum and bass fans are watching closely. 2025 is shaping up to be big!
