Fool’s Paradise is the exciting new label from Toolroom Records’ Mark Knight - that comes straight from the heart, it’s a natural progression from his hugely acclaimed 2021 album release, ‘Untold Business’, which saw Mark go back to his roots, paying homage to the more funky, soulful, and vocal House from the 1990s from where he came. With a focus on real instrumentation and production, coupled with great song writing, this new Toolroom sub label will be a platform for high quality House music that’s designed to stand the test of time. 
 
Launching the new label with a mighty bang, Mark joins forces with Australian Toolroom label mate, Sgt Slick and British Soul sensation, Beverley Knight on a dynamite cover of Prince’s 1979 classic, ‘I Wanna Be Your Lover’. Respectfully transporting the song onto today’s dance floors, Mark & Sgt Slick deliver a classy uplifting soulful house production, loaded with funky guitars, warm pads and sublime key performances. Adding the icing on the cake and putting her own stamp on things, Beverley belts out one of her signature spine-tingling vocals, garnished with lush harmonies and BV’s that would indeed make The Purple One proud!

Ian has remixed music for legends such as Roachford, System F, Bimbo Jones, Jon Fitz, Moonbeam and Jay Robinson and has been supported by DJs such as Roger Sanchez, Kissy Sell Out, Stonebridge, Armin Van Buuren et al. Here is his story…

Ian Round is a music producer, remix artist, DJ and educator with over 20 years of experience.  Starting his career at the age of 16 DJing at parties Ian soon progressed to DJing in clubs and bars across Birmingham and the Midlands.  It started when Ian completed a course in ‘Creating Music Through Technology’ at Birmingham’s Academy of Music under the tutelage of Lee Fisher, a House Music and Ibiza DJ legend and Austen Kilburn a renowned Birmingham sound engineer.  Ian learned his trade spinning vinyl on Technics 1210s and producing music on Properllerhead’s Reason and Cubase.  Whilst plying his trade DJing Ian set up a record label ‘Monkey Beats’ along with fellow DJ ‘Stu Morton’, a staple at Three Shades Records and Hard to Find recording in Birmingham during the booming vinyl era of early noughties.  With an ear for the zeitgeist of dance music Ian and Stu found and released numerous records from local talent including the now famous Jay Robinson.  Releasing several of his own tracks alongside successful remixes of artists on the label roster Ian proved himself to be a talented remix artist.  

Alongside running a record label, remixing and producing Ian had a career beyond the studio in mind.  In pursuit of this Ian followed up his course in Birmingham with a Degree in Music Technology and Audio Engineering soon followed by a PGCE where Ian would start his educational career teaching the next generation of music producers, DJs, composers and Sound engineers.  It was during his degree that Ian would secure his first release with American label Portamento, ‘Eivissa’ was an uplifting piano led house track. In 2007 Ian’s track ‘Dancin’’ was noticed by Manuel De La Mare from Hotfingers, an Italian label.  With the release of this track came support from House Music legend Roger Sanchez.  

During his career in teaching Ian has continued to produce and release music as well as win remix competitions including a remix of System F - ‘Cry’ which secured a full release on Ferry Corsten’s label, Premier.  Ian soon followed this up with a winning entry in another competition remixing Bimbo Jones and Beverly Knight’s ‘I Found Out’.  Since then Ian has continued to remix and produce to this day.
