The eleventh instalment of the Reference Mark Mix Series. Past, present and future friends of the label are given the chance to reference the sounds that define them.

2020 has been a strange one. But in the midst of all the unrest, music has provided a solace for many, including here at Reference Mark. Uncovering new talent and sharing that talent with the world can only serve to unite and bring some positivity in this time of perpetual negativity. With that being said, we look to the future. The future for Reference Mark involves Gibbin. As a DJ he first captured our attention through open decks in Leeds, and as a producer his dark/emotive style is instantly recognisable. This mix has been described by the man himself as “a dream warm-up set - 100 bpm chugs through to bass to dubstep and beyond.” This certainly won’t be the last year hear of Gibbin…
