Born in Tunis 33 years ago, Vondkreistan has forged his own artistic path, fusing industrial influences with cutting-edge electronic rhythms. Settled in Strasbourg, his mother town, in 2008 he discovered the dark, hard-hitting world of EBM through such emblematic figures as Kraftwerk, Front 242 and Nitzer Ebb. This musical revelation led him to explore techno and industrial sounds in greater depth.

It was in 2010 that he decided, as a self-taught musician, to immerse himself in music production. Discreet and a perfectionist, he prefers to concentrate on building his own sound universe. His meticulous work gives rise to a hybrid sound, somewhere between EBM, dark techno and electroclash, where each texture is thought of as a piece of sound architecture.

His musical sincerity has earned him the support of labels such as Mosaique Records and Nocturbulous Records, as well as the recognition of influential artists such as Commuter, The Hacker, Djedjotronic and Principleasure. Always on the lookout for new experimentation, Vondkreistan continues to forge his own distinctive style that resonates throughout the electronic underground.

Born in the sleepy market town of Bishops Stortford and growing up in Harlow, Mark Radford’s story will speak to many aspiring producers and DJs whose interest is piqued by a scene far-flung from their immediate surroundings. The pull of dark and sweaty rooms drawing them closer and closer to the nearest city where stacks of speakers and the siren’s call of undulating basslines seem almost irresistible. It’s in those rooms that Mark Radford found his path in life, enveloping himself in the music and culture at the beating heart of London’s electronic music scene.

Mark’s history stretches back to the early days of acid house, rave and jungle and he counts DJs like Randall, Grooverider and Jumping Jack Frost at the forefront of his musical stimuli. “Watching these guys create a new genre of music was amazing,” he explains, alluding to their experiments in music and willingness to push new boundaries, exposing the public to a dearth of home-grown talent as a great inspiration to him. A testament to that outlook is Mark’s record label, AudioRehab. Widely recognised as one of the capital’s most influential underground labels with its own residency at the legendary Ministry of Sound, and a burgeoning roster of artists AudioRehab was born from Mark Radford’s desire to harness and expose fresh talent.

And that desire has undoubtedly been realised, with the labels dropping over 160 releases from some of the hottest underground talent around since 2012. 

Not only does Mark run one of the hottest labels around, he has garnered a reputation as one of London’s most cutting edge selectors and an accomplished producer in his own right. Working with vocalists and expanding his musical horizons has become a point of focus for Mark over the past few years, and listeners to his Radio shows will undoubtedly have noticed how many new and unfinished tracks and collaborations he drops; almost always with the cheeky line “It’s nowhere near finished, but I thought I’d drop it anyway.”

This is Mark Radford’s strength, his passion for sharing new music and new sounds with people. Amongst a multitude of artists who circle round and round, never daring to head in a new direction, here is a DJ, producer, promoter and label owner that stands out from the crowd. Much like the acid house and rave pioneers he references as his earliest influences, Mark Radford is focused on evolution, not revolution.

Whether you check his show on House Fm dance the night away at one of his parties or drop his records in your own set, Mark Radford’s influence on the underground music scene is keenly felt and should not be underestimated.
