Love Is The Drug - Roxy Music (Akbar et Jeff Edit)

David Byrne...what can I say...I loved working with this guy....incredibly talented, insanely arty, immensely successful and yet the most humble of men. An absolute pleasure to work with. David had me mixing various live recordings from shows as he toured around in 2003/2004. The shows kept getting better as the tour progressed. Especially when David got to Austin and hired a string section called Tosca Strings. Up to that point in the tour David had been hiring string sections local to what ever city he was playing in. This was a bit dicey because the only rehearsal the strings had with the band was at the soundcheck. This led to some quite colossal screw ups....on one gig I remember the strings appearing in songs in all the wrong places and when I just listened to the strings tracks I could hear one player saying 'where are we?' and another replying 'I don't know!'

Tosca Strings were on a totally different level to the other sections David had hired. Not only did he hire them for the rest of the tour but they tightened up and embellished the string arrangements a lot.

This song was recorded at a Chapel in London and was the last day of the tour so the band and string section were amazingly tight. I loved mixing this gig and Naive Melody is probably my favourite song and is a great showcase for Tosca Strings.

Fleetwood Mac - Hypnotized (Zambon Edit)

This was one of the first ever 'fix-ups' we made for the Generic People dj sets... We have noticed it doing the rounds again lately on other DJs sets and mix tapes even tho we haven't had it available for download in a few years, so we've decided to give it a little freshen up with some new drums, a bit of Moog and some extra chops and make it available for free download....ENJOY!

"Train in Vain" is a song by the British punk rock band The Clash. It was released as the third and final single from their third studio album, London Calling (1979). The song was not originally listed on the album's track listing, appearing as a hidden track at the end of the album. This was because the track was added to the record at the last minute, when the sleeve was already in production.

ROXY MUSIC - Avalon (Lindstrøm & Prins Thomas Version)

Work...A lot of it! 
That's what I thought when Flight Facilities told me of there plan to make a months worth of mix tapes, spanning 4 decades, as well as incorporating sound bites of global events of each year sprinkled effortlessly (though no doubt painstakingly) throughout the mixes!

What can i do to help, I said!
Make an edit for us they said!

So I did!
Knowing I'd be up against the antipodean Edit Maestro that is Rocco Raimundo.
I thought I'd try and throw some grunt into what for me was a classic tune from Bowie's Back catalogue and serious jam in it's original format.

You can listen to their first mix (1972-1982) here.

T.Rex - Get It On (Virgin Magnetic Material Remix)

Mark's professional music career started as a drummer playing with Carlene Carter, Johnny Cash's stepdaughter, in 1982. The first time he went into a recording studio with her to record some demos, he was excited by the whole recording process and after the stint with Carlene finished in 1984, he landed a job as an assistant at West Side Studios, London working with renowned production pair Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley who had great success producing Madness, Dexy's Midnight Runners, Lloyd Cole & the Commotions, Elvis Costello and later Bush.

In 1985, Mark engineered the hit record ‘Dancing In The Street’ by David Bowie & Mick Jagger. A year later, he became a freelance engineer and was discovered by Rhythm King, a label at the forefront of the British dance music. Working on a couple of Bomb The Bass mixes led to co-producing Neneh Cherry’s no.2 US billboard smash ‘Buffalo Stance’ & the subsequent seminal multi platinum album ‘Raw Like Sushi’. Following this he worked on a flood of pop/dance work for acts including Erasure, Depeche Mode, Lisa Stansfield & Yazz as well we Ian McCulloch, The Mission (UK), The Farm, The Heart Throbs, Texas & The Sugarcubes.
Robert Smith from The Cure, employed Mark's radio friendly skills to mix all singles from the album ‘Disintegration’. One of these ‘Lovesong’ is The Cure's highest charting single peaking #2 in the Billboard Top 100. Mark went on to work on further Cure albums - UK no1 ‘Wish’, ‘Mixed Up’ & 'Wild Mood Swings'.

Tricky, a big fan of Marks work for the Cure, asked him to program, co-produce and mix his critically acclaimed debut album ‘Maxinquaye’ one of the definitive albums of the 90’s. This in turn led to Tricky fans John Lydon, David Byrne, Cathy Dennis and Cyndi Lauper hiring Mark to work on their albums.

In 1996 Mark moved his studio to Hell's Kitchen NYC and side stepped into writing and producing music for big brand campaigns for companies such as Nike, Lowes, Reebok & Motorola although he continued to work on select artist projects for Erasure, Femi Kuti and Marilyn Manson (‘From Hell’ film sound track). While diversifying into TV/Film work Mark became an early adopter of the surround sound format and has been brought on board to consult, record and mix surround projects for PBS, EMI, David Byrne, film director Luc Besson as well as an exclusive project for Apple as part of a their major product release of Logic 8.

Having worked on many commercially & critically acclaimed records as an engineer, producer & mixer Mark also steadily developed his writing skills. Co-writes have included with Cathy Dennis, PNAU, Kaz James (Bodyrockers) & Amalie Bruun.
